I attended the Sturgis motorcycle rally 5 times, 3 times in various motel/hotel/campground and twice at the Fish'n'Fry. ... and I must say this is my favorite place to stay at! The surroundings, setting, vibe, atmosphere, a true mountain campground & resort with over friendly owners, staff (always here to help!) and tenants! Good food, clean bathrooms, nice laundry rooms, beautiful tent sites, a river runs through the campground. There is also a heated swimming pool. This place is quiet at night so you can enjoy your rides during the day. You can just stop by to fish a trout an they'll prepare it for you. Nice crispy trout with a cold one, exactly what I need during my vacations. Best value for money accommodation during the Sturgis rally. There are also cabins for rent on site. I'll go there again...soon! (make sure you book like 10 months in advance...) read more

See all

Spent two nights here in August. Very friendly folks, good food and clean bathrooms and laundry. A fawn wandered down for a drink from the stream behind our spot. Caught three nice rainbows and the cook prepared them nicely. The skin was fantastic, crispy and salty. A great stop! Spaces too close together but easy to access. read more

We've stayed in campgrounds all across the country. This is the friendliest place we've ever stayed. Great food at the cafe. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We'll be back. read more

Came here after driving all day on a weekend with no reservation thinking they'd be full up but to our surprise they had several spaces for our 5th wheel. Trees all around, what a beautiful site and an affordable price. Nice people, well kept, trout pond, stream thru property, bar, cafe. read more

Seriously, the folks at Fish N Fry are some of the coolest, laid back, helpful, accommodating, friendly people. But it's a good thing they're across from a gas station that stays open for food options after 8 pm... read more

We had booked our campsite from end of May 2022 thru end of July 2022 We would stay for 10 days then go home for 4 days. The staff would keep an eye on our camper when we were gone. If you don't feel like cooking, you can grab a bite at the cafe and have a ice cold beer. Jay and his whole staff are so friendly and always willing to accommodate with any issue. We had such a great time, even our little 2 lb. yorkie Tallie loved it, she always got empty water bottles from Jay for toys, we have already booked for next year and can't wait to start our summer in the Black Hills here. Keep up the hard work Jay Thanks to you and your staff Jim. Lynn & Tallie LaBel read more

I think the fish referenced here are sardines packed into a very small space. RV rigs look like they are lined up as if in a sales lot. Bigger rigs with slides were 10 to 15 feet apart. Was told that the park was laid out long ago before RV rigs got big. Time to update, or restrict sizes. Our rig is only 27 feet (including hitch and bumper) and had to squeeze in to our site and could not easily use the dump station. Should not have to count on people being nice and understanding to have a pleasant time. read more

Awesome campground for exploring Deadwood, SD, or just hanging out for a rest. Jay and the staff were so helpful and kind. Helped me get my trailer parked and all set up. Oh, and be sure to catch a nice trout out of the pond there. The wonderful cook will make it a nice meal. I'll be back, for sure! Thank you! read more

Fish N Fry Campground - What's for dinner! Trout I caught and the staff cooked up for me. Oh so good - Campgrounds Near Me - Deadwood, South Dakota

Extremely overpriced food that was awful. $16 for 6 pieces of shrimp!!!... don't recommend whatsoever

My kids thought it would be fun to fish for trout and have it prepared while we waited. Honestly, my husband and I expected a cheesy experience. We could not have been more wrong. This was so much fun for all of us and the food was amazing! We were only there to eat so I can't review the stay. The gentleman helping us fish was fantastic. He was friendly and funny. His wife was the one preparing the food and she was just as friendly as he was. Also, that woman can cook! The restaurant was eclectic and inviting. My oldest son even wants to make that his summer job next year. I don't know if I will ever make it back to the Badlands, but if I do, I can promise that we will stop here. read more

Everything you hope for in a campground, unless what you hope for is tons of parties and crap like that. Many of us come to the Sturgis rally for some riding but then we want a chill spot for the campground, and if that's you, this is the place to be. The facility is large enough to have what you need, but small enough to easily be navigated on foot. The stocked pond and creek going through the sites is fantastic, and there is plenty of shade. the guests are all very friendly and no one was noisy or drag racing or starting up loud bikes at 7 am. The staff and owners are extremely friendly and accommodating, and just simply are the nicest people. You can keep the big sites like Buffalo Chip to yourself, I want to keep this little gem a secret and stay here every time I go to a Sturgis rally. read more

This was the best RV site that we stayed in on our two week trip from Kansas CIty to Portland, OR in 2010. The kids loved the stocked trout pond. The caretakers were fun and friendly. They gutted and cleaned the fish in front of the kids and served it up with sides. My boys were beaming - there were especially pleased that of ten fish, Daddy caught the smallest! Wish we had stayed more than one night. If you have kids it is definitely worth it. read more

Nice camp ground clean. But they could do away with the people telling you how to back your river into the space. Most people already know how. One of the staff was so loud hollering at the driver you could hear him all over the camp ground and not to mention he had the driver so flustered it took him twice as long to park his RV. In other words if you want to help out keep your mouth shut and just make sure they don't back into nothing read more

Nice place, dream runs through it and the pool is clean. The people are all nice and friendly, but the sites are small and cramped

Amazing trout dinner!! They provided the pole and even baited the hook - 10 min later my son had caught two 13 inch rainbow trout. 15 min later they were skillfully cooked and on our plates. Super tasty. Having ice cold beers while we watched our son successfully catch our dinner priceless!!! Super nice staff - cool atmosphere. We will be back!! read more

Will never go back or recommend this to anyone!!! Booked reservation 9 months in advance, told lady we had a 36ft toy hauler and two large dogs. We were told " oh the map on line is not drawn to scale this is one of our larger sites by the creek" Sturgis 2012 arrived 2:00 PM sit 1/2 the size of our camper!!!! Back of camper hanging over creek no way to put leveling jacks down front of camper 6-8ft in road no yard couldn't even put out awning or it would hit the camper in front of us. Fish N Fry are all liars!!! Demanded money back and stayed at much cleaner more modern Creek Side Campground maybe a 1/8th mile around the corner at 1/2 the price of Fish N Fry for a level concrete pad right on the creek with 50 amp service full hook up. Also Fish N Fry wanted to charge by the day for internet access GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!! read more

Pay showers... That have mold... Really? Locks on cabins are a joke and can be broken by a 5 year old. All around the worst place I have had to endure. read more

We stayed here with a few friends. We had a great time at this campground. The staff was very hospitable and helpful. Great place for car camping. If you are looking for a place an experience that is more isolated and private, this campground is not a good fit. But if you are looking for a campground with some amenities, close location to town, this is the place. The bathrooms were very clean. They do require a quarter for a 5 minute shower. Laundry is on site, arcade, and trout pond. Restaurant on site with live music. Great little gem! read more

I would rate this higher but there's a couple of missings from our stay. It rained heavily while there and the grass you stepped out on was very soggy. To the point where is impossible to keep the water out of the RV without a lot of effort. Also there's very little cell coverage and the wireless really is not usable. The staff, environment and general feel is very nice. The store, bar and cafe seemed like a real benefit. read more

We had arrived just as the pool was closing. Staff said they would leave it open layer so the kids could swim a little. Very helpful, and friendly. read more

Campground is probably ok. But the cabins are GROSS!!!! Had to move 3 times for a weeks stay which we knew we had to do. A shared bathroom in the one the window was full of dead flies and the shower was so gross we did not se it.Then had a so called suite ad to wash dishes in the same sink as u wash ur face.Had to use their pans on this 2 burner hot plate. Everything stuck to them. Supposely T.V. but none. Then the last cabin we moved into was a night mare. It was like a barn. Windows were full of dead flies and bugs. Grant it they are bad this summer but can't take a vacuum and clean them up??? Had a loft in it with a queen size mattress up there. The kids wouldn't even sleep up there they slept in the car. Another thing had to pay for WIFI . Never have we had to pay for it!!!!! Talked to manager. Just said bad year for flies. Don't have to have health dept. check and then he said after the fact!!!!! Should of got a refund back for the kids not sleeping in the buggy loft!!!!!! NOT HAPPY CAMPERS!!!!!! read more
