About this property

Centrally Located near everything the Black Hills has to offer!

These 13 cabins are centrally located to everything the Black Hills has to offer!
12648 Campfire Drive, Rapid City SD.
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 star quilt.

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.

Our cabin specifics are:
400sqft cabin w/loft.
Naturally well-lit, spacious open floor plan, 3 beds/1 bath.

Main floor has 1 plush high quality queen bed & linens; table and chairs, 43" smart tv with blu-ray player & 50+ dvds. If you choose to bring your gaming system, an HDMI cord is provided. We also have a collection of books and board games if that is more your speed. Each cabin has a CELLULAR WIFI HOTSPOT, and excellent cell reception for Verizon customers. PLEASE NOTE: no cable or satellite available.

Also on the main floor, the full-size modern kitchen is equipped with utensils, dishes, and cookware. Bring your groceries and prepare your own meals. Some food items such as condiments and seasonings, a variety of teas/coffee/flavorings & creamers/apple cider/hot chocolate is provided. We also provide fresh eggs from our chickens.

The roomy 8' x 10' main floor bathroom is well lit and has a shower, sink and toilet. Also included are hair dryer, full length mirror, quality towels and common hotel amenities.

The cabins and site are clean and well maintained. The attentive hosts are friendly, hospitable and live on site to be available for your needs and questions.

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 lake, hunting and fishing, skiing, hiking trails, rock climbing, geocaching, ATV and snowmobiling.

Great Black Hills cabins

Very clean, up-to-date and perfect size for our family of 5. I was happy with the kitchen items stocked for cooking and serving meals. Each of us enjoyed the cabin and would stay here again.

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.

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!

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Sutton

Host profile image
Campfire Cabins is proudly owned by Albert & Sarah Sutton. We grew up in the Black Hills. We were high school sweethearts and married after graduation. We then moved to Rapid City for work. 25 years and 6 children later we had the opportunity to purchase land and move back to the Black Hills. We soon realized how much we had missed the beauty and serenity of the local area.

We decided to turn our property into an organic hobby farm with a large greenhouse, chickens, bees, ducks & turkeys, milking goats, and a handful of beef cows. We also decided to build cabins near our home to share with other families wanting to experience all the Black Hills have to offer. With 2 children still at home, we own and operate the cabins as family business. We look forward to getting to know you and be an added blessing to your vacation experience!

Why they chose this property

We believe family is important, and we want to give your family a memorable vacation!
We know how stressful it can be on everyone stuck in a car all day. Once you get here there is plenty of room for your kiddos to run around, play ball, and have a water fight on the front lawn while you take a breather and unpack. There are toys, games, books, and movies for them to use. Grab a drink and have a seat on the front porch and just enjoy their energy and happiness :)

Our cabins have a full-sized kitchen for you to prepare and cook snacks & meals. There is a small dining table inside each cabin and picnic tables and chairs outside for you to sit around and enjoy the togetherness of a meal and conversation.

With 6 children of our own, we know how expensive travel can be! Vacations don't have to be costly or "flashy". Kids will remember the TIME and EXPERIENCES you give them. They will remember bottle feeding calves up in the Sutton's barn and playing with the baby rabbits. They will remember the days you spent hiking, boating, or ATVing with them outdoors. They will remember the other kids they met at the campfire and the smores! They will remember playing soccer, beanbags, or flashlight tag with those same new friends while you get a chance to relax around the campfire and visit with other families from around the country. Want to know which trails are the best? Ask the other grandparents & parents who have already hiked/rode them! What is the best scenic drive? Is the pontoon boat or ATV rental worth it? Where are the best restaurants? Everyone is willing to help you out & share their experiences.

We (Al & Sarah) live on the property and are always available to answer your questions. Feel free to call or message us anytime! We are down at the campfire most nights, so come down and introduce yourselves! Smores are on us!!
