Holy Smoke Resort is the perfect place to stay for your Black Hills vacation. If you are looking for a tranquil atmosphere, surrounded by nature’s beauty, fresh air, and blue skies, why wouldn’t you stay in the heart of the Black Hills? That’s us!! We are located just off Highway 16A; the most popular route to the area’s notable sites and attractions. For those who prefer a scenic drive, we can show you the backroads too.
Our campground features an RV park with full 30/50 amp pull thru hookups, vacation homes, and log cabin rentals for overnight travelers, family vacations, RV travelers… anyone looking to stay in the great outdoors! We are located just two minutes from downtown Keystone, South Dakota – a prime location for visitors looking for easy access to everything in the beautiful Black Hills National Forest.
Desired attractions are only a short drive from our campground and cabins with quick and easy access to grocery stores, shopping, family attractions, national parks, and outdoor fun and entertainment.
Exit 61 at Flying J, follow the signs to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Follow 16 West until you reach 16A sign for Mt. Rushmore. Move into the left lane and exit onto 16A. Our office is located on your right after entering the RV Park, which is the 4th right turn on 16A.
Good: Nice clean park. Friendly staff. Convenient location. Bad: speed bumps need to be milled down some. Our leveling jacks hit the first one in. Sites are too close together. No charcoal grilling! We expected the highway noise when we made reservations.
Edit: employees found our lost phone, drivers license and credit cards. Contacted us and mailing items to us. Saved our vacation!
My husband and I have been staying at Holy Smoke Resort for over 16 years. Holy Smoke Resort is our home away from home. We have traveled here with our parents, friends, kids etc. and it never disappoints. Danny and Lynette have always made us feel at home and apart of their family since day one. If we ever had a special request whether it could be met or not they always tried their best to accommodate. We travel in our big rig and with our yellow lab and this campground fits us perfectly. We have had friends and family stay in the cabins and they also have had a wonderful experience. The resort provides all the necessities and you just cant put a price on the way you feel when you are here. The way this campground is nestled in the mountains is so cozy and quaint but also close to all the attractions we absolutely wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
My friend and I decided to come to South Dakota for our vacation. We had a great time. We stayed at the Holy Smoke Resort which was great. The cabin was clean and fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all our needs. It is located in the small town of Keystone. We were able to visit Mt Rushmoore, Hill City, Custer, Needles Highway and many more. We want to thank everyone here and the town of Keystone who made us feel welcome. Becky and Mary Jo
Where to begin...we stayed in cabin 16B, for 3 hours. Very uncomfortable, very. I was ready to leave ( and lose the money we paid upfront) to go to a hotel. We talked to the manager and she did a FANTASTIC job of moving us to a very nice cabin, #22. Yes it cost more, but was still less than walking away from the $300 we already spent. We're here two nights and love the place, the services has been great. Thanks!
We called a few places to camp. Couldn't find anything. Last try was Holy Smoke, they didn't have a spot for the night. But did the next night. I told her we just needed a place to drop our camper to go site seeing. She offered us a parking area, no hook-ups, and had
a spot for us the next day. Very friendly lady. Wish I could remember her name. Our neighbor was a different story, very very rude!! She was in a wheelchair I saw her open the door, to a ramp. I offered to help her? No.. I told her my husband moved a piece of plywood thinking someone would trip, or get hurt. She chewed him out for touching her property. He went right over n put it back where she told him to. Next morning we see she painted on it don't touch!! Wow... What comes around goes around. Back to the wonderful small camp ground perfectly placed between attractions. I would stay again 😀
