Centrally Located near everything the Black Hills has to offer! Open year round!

These 13 cabins are centrally located to everything the Black Hills has to offer!

We are just 2 miles from Pactola lake, located along Hwy 385, pavement the entire way with only a short gravel drive to the cabins.

Our cabins are modern and have tasteful finishes. Decorated in the genre of wildlife, Black Hills history and Native American traditions of the local area. We have used locally sourced materials in our building as well as highlighting local artists in our decor. Each master bed is covered with an authentic handmade Native American star quilt. All cabins have heating and air conditioning.

Spend your days visiting historic landmarks, quaint Hills towns, or parks and lakes, then come back to your cabin to rest and relax by our large campfire site. As you sit out and enjoy the campfire, you can see the stars with no light pollution. Depending on the time of year you can hear the owls calling to one another, hear the singing of the coyotes, the bugling of the elk, or listen to the turkey as they get ready to roost. Our cabins help you to enjoy the action-packed days of your vacation even more by giving you a place to come and relax and enjoy nature at the end of your day.

We absolutely loved our stay at Campfire Cabins. Our three year old had such a blast playing with the goats and chasing rabbits. The cabin was immaculate and we appreciated all the extra accommodations - snacks and fresh eggs! Would definitely stay here again and will be recommending to all of our friends!!

Very clean and cozy cabin

The cabin, bedding, and towels were all nice and clean when we arrived. Sarah had thought of everything we could possibly need during our stay. We enjoyed fresh eggs from their chickens daily and our kids loved all of the bunnies on the property. If we visit the black hills in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

Great stay

The cabin was centrally located, easy access to the local site seeing and trail riding. Very clean. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Only downside, no couch or chair to lounge in. I wouldnt say it would be a good place for smaller children due to the steep steps to get to the loft. We enjoyed our stay.

Great place

This was a great place to stay. It was very quiet and so very clean. The only problem I had was in the pictures of the listing it showed a queen bed with two different quilts which led me to believe there were two queen beds in the cabin. When reading the description it did say one queen bed on main floor and two mattresses on floor in loft . With this said it was still a great place. The small little touches the owner adds made our stay really nice. The cabin was clean, comfortable, great location. The goats, bunnies and ducks on the the property made it fun. The only thing missing was my grandkids because they would have loved this place.

Stayed for a few days to explore the black hills on our way to Yellowstone and wished we booked longer! The cabin was amazing, extremely clean and the hospitality was phenomenal! Sarah honestly thought of everything! We also loved relaxing by the fire pit after a long day of hiking. The location was perfect for us being centrally located between Custer State Park and Deadwood. Sarah’s anticipation of what guests want and need is really extraordinary and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great little cabin

We came to the Hills for a quick weekend and loved our stay in this cute cabin. Fully stocked with needed essentials and included eggs from the chickens running wild. Our 9year old son enjoyed the chickens and kittens and chasing the bunnies! Would definitely stay again on any trip to Hills. Only thing we missed was a couch or comfy chair to sit on.

The cabin was very welcoming and clean. We met Sarah the day we checked and was very accommodating. The fresh eggs and goodies in the basket was not expected and a pleasant surprise.

Such a great, central property to all of the Black Hills! Cabins are stocked with videos, games, and even some snacks and farm fresh eggs offered by Sarah and Al. They are super responsive and we loved having the animals wandering around. Campfire at night was a great opportunity to chat with other visitors and roast s’mores. Absolutely recommend!
