What Our Customers Are Saying

"This location was so perfect for a peaceful retreat near so many great hiking trails and local attractions. The hiking trail that starts right on the property was beautiful! I loved the comfy bed and cozy fire pit area. I would love to stay again!"
Amanda O.
"The location is absolutely incredible. Walking through nature just outside our door, sitting on the rocks and meditating with the beauty around us was lovely and so needed. The swing and fire pit were the cherries on top."
Sophia
"Beautifully appointed in sage and beige with lots of nice touches such as cast iron pots, coffee maker, mugs, dishes, and silverware. Loved the fire pit area and overall look and feel of the yurt. Loved the binder in the yurt telling of his story and about the area eateries and things to do. Would love to stay here again if in the area."

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!
