May be our first time out to Sturgis and need a little info on where to stay. I know it's last minute, which I don't like, but any way. All 3 places are either homes or condos for 2 people 5 nights but I don't know which would be best. Not much of a camper and would rather pay a little more for a little comfort. I don't know if staying farther away is worth the savings.

$375 Terry Peak - 40 minutes to Sturgis
$500 Boulder Canyon - 20 minutes
$700 Spearfish (near airport) - 20 minutes

Just weighing all of my options and would like to hear from those who have been.

 

I dont think you can go wrong with any of those locations.

Terry Peak will cool off nicely in the evening and after the last 3 weeks of 100+ temps that will be a good thing IMO. The next week is still 90+ forecast and would expect the same during the rally. Now with that said bring rain gear! I cant remember a year that it didn't rain during the rally at least a couple times :0)

That 40 minute ride from Terry Peak to Sturgis is a beautiful ride! You will also be centrally located in the hills to head out to Spearfish, Deadwood, Rapid, Hill City, Custer, and on and on.

 

Go with Terry Peak

 

To the top

 

Id be happy to visit with you on the phone if that would make the decision easier? I have lived here my whole life.... No expert in anything really, but I do know the area pretty good.

Ill PM you my #

 

I take it that's per night money figures?

 

tent, campground, ride all the way there.. will never do it any other way.

 

Those amounts are for 5 nights.

Made my decision. Thanks Jason for the help.

 

Also depends on WHEN you go: a lot of people do the week before/after thing.

If you are thinking of the Spearfish area towards the end of July, you are going to have LOTS of company !
