When you drift off to sleep and fantasize about your vacation to the 2007 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and riding through the Black Hills on your bike in the sunny day does the afternoon ride end with a vision of a sandy beach, a cool drink and beach beauties in bikinis? If you stay at the Buffalo Chip Campground it does. Emerald Pond, located in the center of the Buffalo Chip, has all of that and more. 

 

For those of you who have not experienced Emerald Pond, you are missing out. Kick back and enjoy a tropical cocktail, the sound of falling water and, of course, beautiful women. Find that tropical cocktail at the Black Parrot bar located at the edge of the water. Enjoy this cool beverage while you are visiting with friends in the gazebo, sunbathing on the three tier deck, or sitting with your feet in the water relaxing. 

 

One of the new features to Emerald Pond is the Miss Buffalo Chip/Hawaiian Tropic area. There are 5 sunbathing decks, dressing rooms, and a stage. In 2007, at 5:30 p.m. daily, the Miss Buffalo Chip/Hawaiian Tropic contestants will come out of the water to compete in the swimsuit competition. It is a must see.

 

Wish to go swimming? Take a dip or let the “kid in you” come out as you swing from the rope and land in the cool pond.
