Four nights at Horse Thief Campground in the Black Hills.
Our site was in a great location; about 7 miles to Mount Rushmore,
and 2 miles to Custer State Park. We spent two days exploring this fantastic park. 1300 wild bison roam the plains,
along with antelope, mountain goats, deer, and tame donkeys.
We went swimming and hiking at Sylvan Lake. The water was quite brisk!
And traversed the narrow roads of the Needle Highway.
Also a short drive from our campground was the Crazy Horse Memorial and museum.
The Badlands National Park was about 100 miles from our camp. We drove over one day to check it out. It reminded us of the Teddy Roosevelt National Park, however the cliffs and spires are more dramatic in the Badlands.
It’s truly amazing the diversity that exists in such a relatively small area of South Dakota. It seems to offer a little of everything! This was my (Melissa’s) favorite stop so far.
