ABOUT US
Cloud Nine Camping
Cloud Nine Camping started as a dream Hannah and I shared long before we ever had land or a business plan. We wanted a place where travelers could slow down, feel welcomed, and experience the Black Hills the way we do — with quiet mornings, starry nights, and room to breathe.
Building this campground has given us the chance to meet people from all over the country, hear their stories, and serve them in a way that feels personal and meaningful. It’s more than a business to us; it’s a way to share a little piece of the life we love with anyone passing through.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
Matt & Hannah McLeod
