Days End Campground, Cabins and RV Park — Hotel in Sturgis

In full disclosure, it's been over 20 years since I've actually camped at an RV style facility, so take that for what it's worth. I camped here because it was cheaper than trying to rent a room in town during the rally. I also chose this place because it's within easy walking distance to town, so it allowed me to leave my bike so that I didn't have to deal with traffic. Days End is also really close to a few places to eat (Subway, McDonald's, Sturgis Coffee, etc.) which was convenient and it's also right off the highway.

I can't speak to the RV side of things, so you're on your own there. The camp ground was nice enough and they have several buildings with toilets, showers, and sinks. They also had quite a few portable toilets scattered around the campground as well which was nice. The roads getting you in and out of the park seemed to be maintained well enough and it was no problem getting in and out on a bike.

They have an on site bar ("beer garden") and there were food vendors on site. Both were expensive, but I guess you're paying for the convenience (or it's because everyone in town is simply trying to fleece every biker for every penny they have, but I digress). They offer a shuttle service (not free of course) into town during the rally which is nice if you want to pay extra for it or don't want to walk like I did.

One thing that annoyed me (and it could be standard practice in the industry), is that they only had two free showers located towards the front of the camp. If you wanted to use one of the many other ones, you have to pay to use them. I found that annoying given that I'm already paying to stay here, but it could also be standard industry practice, I honestly don't know. It's not a big deal I suppose, just something to consider and you'll need quarters if you want to use them. The toilets themselves were decent and I had no complaints about them. One thing to keep in mind is that the toilets themselves don't have sinks, there is a separate part of the building ("vanities") for that, so if you want to wash your hands with something other than hand sanitizer, you have to go around to the other side of the building. Again, not a big deal, but that was a new one for me.

All of the staff at the park were nice and attentive, so no complaints there. Check in was reasonably quick given how many people were there when I got there, so also no complaints.

I doubt I will ever do the rally a second time, but if I did, I would definitely consider staying here again. It's just so convenient and close to town, you can't...

Me and my friends stayed in their glamping tent mid-road trip. We were excited to stay in the cute space and were looking forward to feeling secure while still having the outdoor camping experience. Unfortunately we only stayed in the tent for one night due to it not being sealed at all on the bottom so many large bugs, (June bugs, large beetles, spiders) were entering in abundance and getting into our blankets and sleeping bags. I regularly camp outside in tents for extended periods of time and have never experienced having to deal with so many insects inside where I am sleeping. A regular lightweight camping tent would have been much better, which is what we ended up doing the second night after also finding an active wasp nest on the ceiling. We debated simply sticking it out because we are all pretty outdoorsy and hardy gals, but decided it was without a doubt unsafe to stay in a tent with an active wasp nest hanging above our heads. We set up a regular camping tent for the night and did not use the canvas tent that we had paid over $150 to stay in. The next morning we called to let them know our experience and that we didn’t use the tent for the second night. We thought that they would at least offer a little bit of a refund due to the fact that we still payed for a tent that we weren’t able to use because of it being unsafe, but instead we didn’t even receive an apology. We were appalled at the lack of customer support. They stated that they would not refund anything because technically we were still “occupying the space”. I understand where they were coming from, but still believe that it would have been more than fair to at least refund a small amount because we really only used a camping tent space when we were still paying for a full canvas glamping tent. To not even have them say they are sorry for the bad experience and the fact that there was a WASP NEST inside the tent was incredibly disappointing and disheartening. I will say that the bathrooms were very well cleaned and great to be able to use, but other than that we were not impressed. I hope others have better experiences in the glamping tents, I do think it’s a...

What a bad choice to stay here! The 12x12 cabins are so small. There isn't a restroom or running water. You have to walk to the bath houses which are all in separate buildings and there isn't anywhere on there website you pay for a shower or need to bring your own towels. I'm glad I called and spoke to the older lady at the front desk A couple times so I knew what I was getting into, but when we pulled up, I did not think that we would be literally staying in a teeny tough shed at $375 a night! We went during the rally. The restrooms were so gross by the end of the day. and the port potties were full, some over flowing and no tp in them or paper towels in the women's sink room. We weren't able to get wifi at all when it says on the website you get full access, which is a lie and the cable consists of 4 channels. The young staff at the beer garden were always sitting on there phones playing horrible music that no biker wants to listen to at a rally or eating and drinking beers or taking jello shots. They texted a group text asking to keep animals on leashes but the owners huge dirty dogs run around leash free all over the camp. We were told the office opened at 8 so we could stop and get the ice that they say they offer on their website but at 830 it still wasn't open but the older woman was just sitting there. We left a day early due to an issue back home. We tried to stay as long as we could. I even asked to be put on a waiting list if a cabin with the bathroom came available, but when I walked by, they were not occupied and then the day we were leaving, something came available. But we were over it. I asked for a refund after staying 8 days and the brunette girl was rude and said no refunds. Its dirty, loud, way over crowded and 2,100 for a shed is insane! Never again!! Ps... The owner is super rude and almost every day. I asked the front desk if I had another option of a different cabin to stay in so get off your high horse, cause...
