Whitetail Creek Camping Resort  

On Whitetail Creek just outside Lead, South Dakota — a creek-side escape in the Black Hills. Minutes from Historic Homestake Opera House and Living Map Theater, 10 minutes to Deadwood and about 4 miles from Terry Peak Ski Area. Easy access to the Mickelson Trail, Black Hills National Forest and the Sturgis rally corridor makes it a strong pick for outdoor and event travelers.

Rooms and cabins line the creek and range from Comfort Queen and Standard Double motel rooms to Deluxe Double Queen and Family Motel rooms with full kitchens. Cabins include one-room Family Cabins with two queen beds, a full-size pull-out, kitchen and full bath. You’ll also find yurts, camping cabins and RV sites for a true camping-resort mix. Creek-side swinging chairs, a pavilion and barrel saunas set a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe—family-friendly and ready for reunions or ski weekends.

Full-service spa plus barrel saunas for après-trail warmth. A creek-side pavilion with five octagon picnic tables, a large gas fire pit, Adirondack chairs and a Buck Snort Beer/Wine bar outfitted with a sound system and two 65" TVs. Large wood fire pit, picnic areas and barbecue grills for cookouts. Direct trail access (Trail 5W) for ATV/UTV and snowmobile riding, nearby Mickelson Trail for hiking, biking and horseback riding, plus local fly-fishing and two golf courses within about 20 minutes.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free self-parking on site and a front desk staffed during limited hours.

The Buck Snort Beer/Wine bar in the pavilion serves as the social hub for drinks and game-watch nights. Outdoor picnic areas and barbecue grills make it easy to grill local finds by the creek — great for group dinners, weddings or receptions.
