Residential Campsite in Downtown Sturgis
WE ARE SEASONAL, OPEN 21 DAYS A YEAR
FOR THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY
Buddy's Campsite is a private residential property in Downtown Sturgis, SD owned and operated by Daniel, Christinea, and dog "Buddy."
We live here full-time and to help offset our costs to making home improvements, we transform our backyard into a tent rental oasis during the motorcycle rally, and pre-rally dates.
Reservations for the 2026 Rally are paused until further notice. Unfortunately, the City Code Enforcement officer has informed us we can no longer offer temporary camping unless we obtain a variance or revision to the City Ordinance.

Luxury “Glamping” Tents
We don't want you to dread about having to buy an over priced mediocre tent or dishing out boo-koo bucks on renting a home . That’s why we bring as much of home to you in our spacious lodge cabin tents. This includes your choice of King size beds or Twin XL beds, linens, mini fridge, microwave, air conditioner, and coffee maker.
Walking Distance to the Rally
Buddy's campsite is less than a 5 minute walk to Downtown Main St. where all the biker saloons, concerts, street vendors, and restaurants are located! No need to worry about taking DaBus, or missing your shuttle ride.
Showers and Restrooms
On-site showers and restrooms are available to you at no extra cost. We have 2 showers on the property for your use, as well as an indoor bathroom and a couple porta potty's. Bring your own towel or rent one from us. Hair blower is available at no charge.
Above Ground Pool
When it gets hot, cool off in our 18ft x 4ft round above ground pool! A refreshing splash to help cool you off during the rally!
Free Parking
Designated motorcycle parking will be available on the property (no cover). Street parking in front of our home and around our property is free and available for your larger vehicles or trailers (no permit required).
Guest Safety
The property is gated with a privacy fence and security cameras are installed to monitor your motorcycle and campsite 24/7 while you sleep, or on a ride. Lockers are available to store your belongings at no additional charge. We also have a 75lb Boxer named "Buddy" who patrols the campground with us regularly.
Customer Reviews
Great location for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. 3 blocks from all the activities. The hosts and Buddy, the dog, were friendly and made me feel welcomed. Had a wonderful time and hope to stay at their place again.

I was traveling alone, everyone was so friendly and it really made my trip to Sturgis hanging out with everyone. The location was perfect, close enough to walk to town, but far enough away to get some sleep.

The hosts, Daniel and Christinea, are two beautiful humans. They are kind, caring, and extremely hard working. I watched them meet, greet, setup, and settle-in several guests with the kind of care one would receive family. I genuinely felt that they wanted me at their Sturgis retreat, and I am thankful to have met them. I can't wait to see them again for Sturgis 2024!

Daniel and Christina were the most gracious and caring people I have ever met. Everything they did was incredible and yet they asked if they could do more. The best part of all is they are just good people. A pleasure to be around and spend time with. I highly recommend them them to everyone. If I was giving out 10s for them, it would be a 20.

Daniel & Christinea are amazing. From when I left Miami, until I rode into sturgis on my motorcycle. They would send me messages while I was on the road checking up on me. When I arrive at the house freezing. Daniel offered me a cold beer, lol. They are very welcoming and friendly. Daniel led me and other guests to Mount Rushmore on a great ride. Their tent set up was awesome. The house is a 4 minute walk to Main Street. You can drink well and walk back home. The fire pit was the cherry on top of the cool nights. Overall, it was a great experience, and I met other good guests. Thank you, Daniel and Christinea, for my first great sturgis.

Daniel and his wife were awesome hosts. Very accommodating even with air mattresses and offerings of bedding if we needed them. They provided breakfast and snacks and use of their home while we camped during Sturgis. Would stay here again for the rally!

To say this was a great place to stay…would be an understatement. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Daniel and Christinea are so kind and friendly. They took care of us when we were soaking wet and had been driving on a motorcycle for 16 hours. They took us in and put our clothes in the dryer and really took amazing care of us. I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone and everyone when coming through sturgis! They are great hosts and really care about their guests! You definitely need to stay here if you are looking in this area!
