Free camping on June 12

By Dan Daly • Jun 1st, 2010 • Category: Events

Kicking off the summer season, we thought we’d pass this deal along. Mount Rushmore KOA is offering a free night of camping for locals — anybody who lives within 100 miles — on Saturday, June 12.

If you’ve never been to the Palmer Gulch resort, it’s more than just RVpads and fireplaces. In fact, that weekend they’re having hay rides and live music (Hill City Slickers) and a flashlight scavenger hunt on Friday; jump pillow games, fire truck rides, Native American dancers, campfire s’mores on Saturday; and an ice cream social on Sunday.

You need to reserve, but you don’t need to stay the whole weekend. You can sign up for the just the free Saturday. Be sure to mention “Hot Deal Code BB” when you call. For details on the offer, check out www.palmergulch.com.

About the Author

Dan Daly is an on-again, off-again Black Hills resident since 1978. The Aberdeen native hit the road after high school, building houses in Boulder, working oil rigs on Colorado's Western Slope, delivering cars in California. In Wyoming and Idaho, he worked as a newspaper journalist. But the Black Hills kept luring him back. For 18 years, he wrote for the Rapid City Journal. The job gave him a chance to see the Hills from atop Mount Rushmore and the bottom of the Homestake Mine. Whenever possible, Dan grabs his dog Kody and heads to the Hills. These days, he's perfecting the art of low-impact backpacking: hike two hours to a scenic spot, break out the wine, cook up the pasta, watch the sunset and fall asleep under the stars.
