Within the wilderness of South Dakota close to the Black Hills is the city of Spearfish. With the nearest big cities to Spearfish being Rapid City and Casper to the south, Spearfish is quite isolated and makes for a quiet place to get away from civilization.

Spearfish was founded as a result of the Black Hills gold rush which drove thousands of people to the area with the hope of striking it rich. Named Spearfish after a nearby creek, Sioux Native American tribes have used the region for centuries, and as a result, it carries a lot of history. A campervan rental in Spearfish is ideal if you enjoy sublime views of nature away from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

The Great Outdoors

When you book an RV in Spearfish, you'll be directly next to Black Hills National Forest, which gives visitors plenty to do by itself. The park contains some of the most famous natural landmarks and human-made monuments in the whole of the U.S. These monuments include Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument, both of which provide great historical significance as well as being beautiful places to visit, with thousands of tourists traveling from across the country to experience them every year.

With so much to do in the area, you'll always be discovering new favorite places when you rent an RV in Spearfish, SD. If you're looking to stay close the city, then consider a visit to the Spearfish Canyon.

The road twists and turns through a 19-mile gorge and sights include massive limestone bluffs full of different colors, as well as a few waterfalls which are popular stopping points for either a picnic or picture. There's history here too, with old abandoned mining operations giving visitors an insight into 19th-century life in the region.

A gorgeous and unique park to visit when you rent an RV in Spearfish is the Wind Cave National Park. Despite being nearly 100 miles away, a visit here is well worth it due to its extensive cave system. Visitors will marvel at the honeycomb-shaped cave which is one of the longest cave systems in the world, offering amazing rock formations rarely seen anywhere else. This cave system lies below vibrant prairies full of life including bison, elk, and prairie dogs, which are worth visiting on their merit alone.
