We felt lucky to get a week-long reservation during part of the Sturgis motorcycle rally. Sturgis is just 34 miles up the road. Our site backed up to a gurgling creek and then (noisy until 10 pm) US-385, a major route through the Black Hills. An endless parade of motorcycles all day – quite entertaining actually, I saw a white Jedi Knight go by and a motorcycle that looked more like a missile.

I took a 30 second video and later counted 35 motorcycles go by.

The main downtown street of Hill City is closed to all vehicles except motorcycles, so you can probably imagine, we won’t be going there.
