Kurt's spot was easy to access and had everything we needed. He was a great host and ensured we had what we needed. I'd love to come back and have a bit more time to enjoy this location! A great find!

Kurt is an amazing host in more ways than one. After I texted him saying we were set to arrive in our RV in the middle of the night, he gave detailed instructions on where to park. Not only that, but he congratulated us via text after he awoke on the good job of parking in the dark, since we had already left for the Buffalo Round up in our car. We reserved the site for two weeks but our son was with us and he was anxious to get home after being away for months hiking the Continental Divide Trail. We left after only five days and Kurt graciously agreed to refund us. He was so understanding and even spoke to my husband in person. The site is amazing because it is in the middle of the countryside with no other RVs. Accommodations were excellent...great wifi. We highly recommend this host/site and hope to return in the future.

I enjoyed my stay at Sturgis Scenic View. The owners were friendly and the campground was quiet, clean, and well layed out. My bunkhouse was right next to the bathroom which was very clean. The other campers were also friendly.

This was a great little place to spend a few days. Kurt was very friendly and also very accommodating. I give this hip camp, a 4.9 out of five. The reason why I wouldn’t go to a five it would’ve been nice to have a shower. That said I still signed up to rent the spot, knowing that they did not have it.

We were rustic camping in our car. The area provided for this was unusual. It wasn’t divided into small sites — we just parked a comfortable distance from other campers. The area is unusually beautiful for a campground, with distance views of the Sturgis area through the trees.

Weekend Trip to Star Valley RV Camp Spot

Kurt’s land is beautiful. He graciously helped me get my trailer properly positioned and offered any other assistance I might need. I had a little trouble getting to the location, but that was due mostly to my fear of getting stuck somewhere I’d have to turn around. On a previous trip I’d ended up on a dead end road and it took some time to get out of it so I was gunshot.

This was my second time there and I loved it more. The views, the location, the owners and staff are wonderful. It's an easy drive to Spearfish, Deadwood, Keystone, Rapid City and even Custer. So absolutely beautiful. I was in cabins up front and in the back in a tent. The trees, flowers, deer and birds. Lots of birds. Those coming for the rally are going to love it.

This is a great campsite with its view over Sturgis. They offer variable parking for RVs, tents, or just let you go old school sleeping out under the stars. The owners were friendly and helpful in making sure if I needed anything. Don't forget to mark this spot on your road map.
