Alkali Creek Trailhead

Convenient location with a creek running through the campground. Very friendly and helpful camp host. Everything is very well-maintained. Lots of hiking and biking trails. Some traffic noise from nearby highway.

This is a really great find... close to 90. We didn't find it loud. There are two areas for dispersed camping. One is a large equestrian that allows 7 plus back ins, with it's own pit toilet and potable water. The other for RV's and tents has 3 designated back ins but the very nice camp host allows bigger rigs to use the grass.
Across the dirt road is the trail head for part of the Centennial trail and the Calvary trail. Bear Butte (a great hike) is a 20 min. Drive. This camp is central to Rapid City, Stergis, and The Black Hills!!!

Great stop right off I90 Friendly host Had 2 bars Verizon and was able to hot spot firestick

Free before season opened. 3 small sites. No hookups but picnic tables and fire rings. Next to creek and at the beginning of the trailhead.

Looks like they're working on improving or repaving. No signage with an opening date. I tried both ways in and it was closed on both ends.

I stayed here during the Sturgis Bike Rally in 2023. Mostly empty, but only 4 miles from town. Nighty rate is $6, but if you have an America the Beautiful Senior pass it is only $3 a night.

They do have a nice vault Toilet and a place to air up bike tires. And a trash dumpster.

They only have 5 or 6 sites, and for most of the time I was the only one here.

You can stay upto 16 days.
