Letters from our Friends
We keep in touch with many of our visitors and enjoy hearing from them.
Ross, as promised I wanted to tell you what a wonderful group of employees you have, helpful, polite, would go out of their way to help you. Without a doubt I believe I chose the finest campground in Sturgis for my first time ever to the rally. Enjoyed meals at the restaurant every day. The store is so handy. Just loved to sit in the nice cushioned chairs at the Stump bar and watch and talk to great people. The bartender ladies made you feel like a welcomed friend as soon as you walk in. Wish I wouldn’t have waited 64 years to go to Sturgis. I’ve already reserved a cabin for next year. Anxiously awaiting next year’s rally. Thank you and all your employees for a great time. See you next year. John – Papillion, Nebraska
Thanks so much for your hospitality. Your staff treated me with the utmost respect in the short time I stayed at your campground. Your facilities were very well kept. Thanks for everything. If I were to come back to Sturgis I would stay at the Lamphere Ranch. Deryl – Somewhere, USA
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay while we were in Sturgis. Your campground was a wonderful touch. Your staff was the most friendly and helpful of any we have ever seen…you can bet in the next years to come that if you are still around that we will be making reservations to stay with you again. We loved every minute of being there. It was our first year and by far the best campground around. We went to several others to see sights and events, but always left and went straight back to Lamphere for the quiet and peace of the campground. A big “THANKS” to your staff as well. They did a wonderful job and always with a smile and friendly face. Stephanie and Jared – Lake Charles, Louisiana
My wife and I had a great time. Was very pleased with the campground. Very neat and clean. The bathrooms were always clean and wish to commend you on beautiful job. I will definitely recommend your campground to my friends. The price was affordable for working class people. Once again thank you very much for a wonderful time. Rodney – Muskegon, Michigan
I just wanted to thank you for your great hospitality during the Sturgis Rally. I really enjoyed my stay, your campground and seeing the Black Hills again. Sharol – South San Francisco, California
I think this is a very great option to stay in…
Lamphere Ranch Campground is ideal for Rally visitors. Friendly, welcoming employees, a friendly owner, great camping areas with different characteristics for different tastes, a nice store with many amenities, a comfortable eating area with good food and coffees, a beer garden, clean restrooms and showers, etc., and it is close to downtown and all other attractions. Pretty hard to beat! It’s for these reasons that I’ll be back for the fourth time this year.
I have been staying here since 2001, found by accident. This is the most friendliest, cleanest place ive every stayed. I keep coming back every year to see what Ross and his staff has improved. Since the beginning we have met the nicest people that we continue camping with year after year.

One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. Mr Ross and Mrs Jan are wonderful and down to earth! Loved staying there. The property is well-maintained and close to Sturgis and other areas that rides are geared toward. The store and the Stump are a nice addition. Thank you for sharing your ranch with my family and I.
Great Campground Experience At Rally
Have stayed with you in 2004 and 2015. Always a great environment for the rally, easy accommodations, great location and hospitality. Looking forward to staying again with you this year!
Excited for the 2023 Rally! We LOVE staying here and look forward to it every year. First visited in the ’90s and it’s so fun to see what has been improved upon at the Campground every year! Excellent food options, the restrooms/shower areas are nice and clean, and I feel safe here. We let our daughter go from camper to camper to see her friends – they run in a big pack of kids. We’ve camped with the same group of families for years, they’ve become family. Thank you Ross and family for all you do!
We missed this year due to a broken hip. This is the best campground in Sturgis. Ross has reinvested in the grounds every year making it better ( showers, spaces, store, food court, etc). You won’t find a better place to stay.
