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.

Amazing
Everything about this cabin exceeded our expectations, this was our first time staying in a property versus a hotel. Couldn’t have been any happier. The cabin is clean, fully stocked with extra toiletries and kitchen essentials. The owners were friendly and welcoming to all guests. My kids loved all the animals and had fun in the loft ( like there own space) Already trying to plan another vacation here next summer.

So wonderful
We had such a lovely time. The kids really enjoyed catching rabbits. My 14yr old said it was the highlight of his trip. Only 30 minutes to Mt Rushmore and we also spent some time in spear fish canyon.

Family friendly
We LOVED our stay here. They have friendly animals and relaxing activities. Our family especially enjoyed the rabbit catching—even though we didn’t actually catch any, it was HILARIOUS to watch our kids try. The property managers are very easy to reach and accommodating as well. We had some fresh chicken eggs upon our arrival as well! The location is good if you want to be away from the city and enjoy nature, but it’s close enough to the city if you wanna go enjoy those types of activities too.

The best!!
We had a really wonderful stay at Campfire Cabins, thank you so much Sarah and Al. Our kiddos were completely sold as soon as they saw the baby bunnies and goats... Then they got to feed the calves!
The cabins were so well stocked with cooking equipment, cooking essentials, condiments, sunscreen, mosquito spray, anything you would need. The welcome pack, including a local wine as well as fresh eggs and honey from the farm was awesome. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was excellent for home cooking needs. Fire pits and grills were well maintained and well used by our fam.
The personal touch, with Sarah checking in and Al helping the kiddos for nightly calf feeding was really appreciated - thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fun, clean and relaxing cabins
The cabin was new, clean, inviting, well stocked with necessities and even thoughtful items that included fresh eggs, kitchen basic pantry items and snacks. The bed was comfortable and all linens were clean. Cabins were strategically placed around fire pit, games, and grill that provided a very relaxing environment. Fun animals including bunnies, goats, and cats roamed through the area proving great fun for the children. Convenient location to major attractions.

More than just a place to sleep
Cabins were clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The hosts were fantastic and let our kids help with feeding all the animals (calves, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats and cats). We will definitely be back!
