Shepherd's Wagon #4 Near Mt Rushmore

Shepherds huts were originally built to shelter shepherds in remote grazing areas, these huts preserve the past while offering a cozy retreat. While you won’t be roughing it like the shepherds once did, you’ll still experience their way of life. Each hut includes a metal tub, once used for washing, storage, and feeding the herd, along with a mess kit, gas stove, composting toilet, and a port-a-potty for convenience. To add a modern touch, solar-powered lights brighten your stay.

While the campers, huts, and yurts are positioned for maximum privacy, this is a campground and there are other camp sites with other fellow campers enjoying the Black Hills nearby

*Dogs are allowed with a pet fee.*
Pet fee will double if your furry friend comes along but is not included on your reservation.

sleeping arrangements: This wagon includes one twin-size bed, which comfortably sleeps one guest. While we’ve had two guests share the bed without issue, it’s important to know that it’s a snug fit.


If your group includes more than two people, we assume you're planning to bring a tent.

NOTE: Our campground shower/bathroom will be shut down between the dates 10/15-5/1 due to freezing temps. We have on-site port-a-potties that will be available during these times. Thank you
