Sleep Under the Stars with Your Tent and Motorcycle!
You haven't truly experienced the Rally until you've camped at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. Each year, the Buffalo Chip’s 600-acre campground facility fills with folks ready to kick back, relax and have the time of their lives at the Best Party Anywhere®, and if you’re the type who likes to tent it (or you’re simply looking for the lowest price), you’ll be happy to know how easy it is to find a spot and pitch your tent in the campground.

Your campground admission pass allows you to set up a tent anywhere on the grounds with the exception of places designated off-limits to the general public, secured areas, parking lots, the amphitheater, or within 50 feet of any improved RV sites.
