Centrally Located near everything the Black Hills has to offer!
This cabin is 1 of 13 on our Campfire Cabins property. Our cabins are centrally located to everything the Black Hills has to offer! We are just 3 miles from Pactola Lake, located along Hwy 385. We call this cabin our "Family Cabin"; it is a spacious1500sq ft home with an open kitchen/living room area, large dining table, laundry room, garage, and 2 porches with amazing views! It is naturally well lit, has 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. It sits up on a hill behind our other 12 cabins, so you will travel up a fairly steep gravel driveway to reach this cabin. The cabin is its' own private oasis, surrounded on all 4 sides by mature trees. It is modern with tasteful finishes, high quality bedding, and stocked for your convenience. This cabin also has outdoor seating, a propane grill, and yard games & toys for the kiddos. Our cabins and site are clean and well maintained. The hosts (Al & Sarah Sutton) are friendly, hospitable, and live on site to be available for your needs and questions.
***PLEASE NOTE: the basement level of this Family Cabin is used by the Sutton's between the hours of 11am to 4pm for laundry several times each week. We will NOT enter the main living area (where guests have access to) during your stay, we will use the separate basement entrance behind the cabin. There are 2 locked doors at both the top and bottom of the staircase separating both levels. If you have any concerns about privacy, please do not hesitate to call Sarah before booking 605-209-8574.
Spend your days visiting historic landmarks, quaint Hills towns, or parks and lakes, then come back to your cabin to rest and relax on one of two porches or down by our large campfire site. As you sit out and enjoy the views you can see the stars with no light pollution. Depending on the time of the 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 with your family.
We are centrally located, within 45 minutes or less of nearly all that the Hills have to offer such as Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Deadwood and Sturgis. This location is also perfect for year round seasonal activities such as boating, fun at the lakes, hunting and fishing, skiing, hiking trails, rock climbing, geocashing, ATV and snowmobiling.
We built and have operated our 12 small cabins for the past 5 years. This cabin is a new addition, and we look forward to hosting you and your family! You can find hundreds of reviews for Campfire Cabins online @www.campfire-cabins.com , our facebook page, and VRBO.com

South Dakota Family Trip
We had an excellent stay at Campfire Cabins. The Family Cabin was the right size for our family of 5 with lots of wiggle room. It was about an hour /1 drive to several National Parks, Custer State Park, and many other attractions. Our down time in the cabin was relaxing after long days of hiking and seeing the sites. Sarah was very attentive and quick with all communications. Very easy to work with. We've already recommended it to another family traveling out to South Dakota! If we plan to come back to the area, we definitely would stay here again.

We will be back!
Lovely cabin and was just as described. Clean, comfortable and with nice touches here and there. Great location midway between the north and south offerings of the Black Hills and close to Rapid City as well. Owners have thoughtfully considered what a family might need on a trip. It was great to be able to come back and relax after fun in the Black Hills. Hosts were very communicative. We will definitely be back.

Great place to stay
This is a great place to stay and easy to get to. It is very close to a variety of things. We were there to use the ATV trails. Parking not an issue. There was great semi friendly animals (cats, rabbits and turkeys) and yards games that we enjoyed in evening. The house is very clean and brand new looking inside. Host contacted to make sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will enjoy staying again.

Great Cabin
We stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it! The cabin was so clean, and all the beds were comfortable. The kitchen has everything we need and more. The front porch was our favorite thing; we sat and drank coffee every morning there. We can’t thank Sarah enough for everything.

The best place to stay!!
This cabin is the best of the best. Especially if you have kids probably the best place you could think of. The room my kids and niece stayed in a room with 2 sets of bunk bed, TV, game console(Wii), DVD player and some DVDs. They didn’t want to come out from their room! They also enjoyed morning and evening walk around the lodge. We saw a lot of beautiful flowers, picked up some colorful rocks.
My husband and I stayed in master bed room which has a very comfortable queen size bed and beautiful new bathroom. My brother-in-law stayed in other room which also has a queen size bed. All rooms are tastefully decorated. I really enjoyed that.
Bathroom was all new and bright and clean. Very modern.
Full size Kitchen has everything you need to cook meals for your family. Lots of dishes, utensils, cups, basic spices(s&p, garlic powder, Montreal steak spice, cinnamon powder,etc), spray oil, canola oil in the cabinet. Also Plastic wrap, aluminum foil, ziplock bag too.
Owner Sarah was great. She responds you back pretty quick!
The location is also great. 30-35min drive to MT.Rushmore, Reptile gardens, Bear country USA, 20 min drive to downtown Rapid city. There was a lake called Pactora lake just 5-7 min drive from the cabin. It was beautiful. Kids enjoyed a little hike there (Ospray trail) and dip their feet in the lake.
I asked my family what was the best part of this trip. Everyone said “the cabin!!”. :)
