RV rental Hermosa, SD: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

South Dakota is often associated with endless expanses of grasslands, but that all changes in the Black Hills near Hermosa. Badlands National Park and its accompanying wilderness are some of the most popular recreation areas in South Dakota and are just a short drive away when you book an RV in Hermosa. Hidden amidst the state’s sprawling prairie lands lies an enormous network of canyons winding their way through otherworldly rock formations. While badlands can be found throughout Montana and the Dakotas, the park is one of the best examples of it and also has some of the most abundant fossil deposits in the country. Also, if you’ve never seen a bison in the wild, sighting one on a hike through the park is a magical experience. Wind Cave National Park is also close by and offers tours of one of the largest cavern systems in the world. Its interior is filled with geological oddities including massive branching crystalline structures hanging from the ceiling and erupting from the cave floor. Outside the cavern, there are some great hiking trails with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Another place with exceptional hiking trails is Custer State Park, just a little way to the west of Hermosa. It’s famous for its huge bison herds, which can easily be viewed from the Wildlife Loop scenic auto route. The begging burros, a herd of feral donkeys, are even known to approach cars and visitors in the hopes of getting some extra food. To really experience the park though, you need to experience it on your own two feet, and the trails are the best places to see animals in their natural habitat.
