### Shepherd's Wagon #1 near Mt Rushmore

Shepherd's Wagons were originally built to shelter shepherds in remote grazing areas. These huts preserve the past while offering a cozy retreat. While you won’t be roughing it like the shepherds once did, you’ll still experience their way of life. Each wagon includes a metal tub, once used for washing, storage, and feeding the herd, along with a mess kit, gas stove, composting toilet, and a port-a-potty for convenience. To add a modern touch, solar-powered lights brighten your stay.  
The space  
  
Escape the rush of modern life and reconnect with nature in our charming shepherds' huts. These cozy retreats offer a slower pace, a break from electronics, and a chance to fully embrace the beauty of the outdoors.  
  
Each hut is thoughtfully equipped with:  
\- A full-sized bed with sheets, a blanket, and pillows  
\- Heat for chilly nights  
\- A gas stove for easy meal prep  
\- A mess kit for your dining needs  
\- A fire pit for gathering under the stars  
\- A composting toilet  
\- A port-a-potty dedicated to the four shepherds' huts  
\- A shared campground bathroom/shower  
\- Solar lights for a warm, ambient glow  
\-Please bring your own towels.  
\-Please note that these units are off-grid and do not have any plug-ins  
\-Please not there is about a 25 yard walk to get from the parking area to the sheep wagons  
  
Nestled within Cloud Nine Camping's stunning 33-acre property, you’ll be surrounded by towering oaks, pines, wildlife, and National Forest on three sides. The backside of the property connects to miles of scenic hiking trails within the forest, perfect for exploring.  
  
While our campground offers serene seclusion—tucked away just a few miles off Playhouse Road—it’s also centrally located near the best of the Southern Black Hills. You’ll find yourself just:  
\- 7 miles from Mount Rushmore/Keystone  
\- 3 miles from Custer State Park  
\- 3 miles from Lakota Lake  
\- 5 miles from Center Lake  
\- 22 miles from Sylvan Lake  
\- 19 miles from Hill City, SD  
\- 16 miles from Custer, SD  
\- 23 miles from Rapid City  
\- 36 miles (1 hour) from Wind Cave National Park  
\- 97 miles (1.75 hours) from Badlands National Park  
  
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a step back in time, our shepherds' huts provide the perfect balance of comfort and rustic charm.  
Other things to note  
Check in/out instructions will be sent prior to arrival & departure  
  
While the campers, huts, and yurts are positioned for maximum privacy, this is a campground and there are other camp sites with other fellow campers enjoying the Black Hills nearby  
  
\*Dogs are allowed with a pet fee.\*  
Pet fee will double if your furry friend comes along but is not included on your reservation.  
  
sleeping arrangements: This wagon includes one full-size bed, which comfortably sleeps two guests.  
  
If your group includes more than two people, we assume you're planning to bring a tent.  
  
NOTE: Our campground shower/bathroom will be shut down between the dates 10/15-5/1 due to freezing temps. We have on-site port-a-potties that will be available during these times. Thank you

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

We loved the quiet peaceful location. The wagon had everything you needed for a comfortable camping experience. I could have used a step to help me get in the bed but once there, we slept like a log. The bed was very comfortable. The camp stove was all we needed to knock the chill out of the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Very unusual 'glamping experience" Met the lowner briefly but was given a tour & the background of the camp by the host who was very welcoming. We stayed in a wagon but they also have cool big tents with kitchens and RVs you can rent. The shared bathroom could have been a little cleaner but was adequate. The location was very secluded & quiet, not one of those gravel RV parks right off the highway. Fun experience. Very conveniently located near Rushmore & the Badlands.
