Campground Amenities at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip® are Second to None

Deluxe Rally Accommodations Provide You With Everything You Need

Free Showers

The Buffalo Chip has more than 60 free showers conveniently located at the North and South ends of the campground and at Camp Zero. We are proud to provide guests with hot, clean showers and well-maintained shower stalls. The Buffalo Chip employs a full time staff during the Rally to keep shower houses serviced around the clock.

Deluxe Vendor Showers

The Vendor Deluxe Showers are located in a huge modern shower complex located near the water tower. As an upgrade from the Buffalo Chip’s three FREE shower houses, the Vendor Deluxe Showers offer 80 private shower stalls with adjoining private dressing areas, sinks and vanities, all monitored and cleaned by friendly attendants.

Individual day rates on site are $8. Reserve a Lather Up Pass in advance to save up to $23 on the full festival!

Public Toilets

The Chip has plenty of clean toilets. While not every toilet at the campground is a flush toilet, each one is cleaned, sanitized and maintained daily. Crew position themselves outside the amphitheater, clean the toilets and hand out paper towels.

Private Toilets

Do you think sharing a bathroom with other campers is crappy? Guess what? You don’t HAVE to share! Reserve your own private portalet to have one right at your campsite throughout the Sturgis rally!

Central States Sanitation will set your portalet up so it’s waiting for you when you arrive. They’ll also take care of all the dirty work by cleaning and pumping it daily throughout your stay.

RV Dump/Fill Services

The Buffalo Chip has three dump stations. The station at the West Gate can be used prior to entering the campground. The other dump stations can be found near the North Shower House and at the South Forty Camping Area on the East side of the campground. Please refer to the campground map for exact locations.

Central States Sanitation offers pump to all RV campers staying at the Buffalo Chip and the convenience of a pre-pay and save package for up to four pumps. Dry RV campers can also take advantage of potable water with the fill service option.

Gas Station

Get 93 high-octane fuel for less than 91 high-octane elsewhere at the Chip’s self-service gas station. The Stop & Fuel offers 93-octane fuel 24/7/365 at the CrossRoads near the corner of Russ Brown Blvd and Flag Ave. If you need to fuel up before hitting the road, you won’t find a better price nearby, and you can’t beat the convenience!

Laundry Services

The Buffalo Chip has two coin-operated laundromats.

One coin-op laundromat is located in the North Shower House and the other in the South Shower House.

Please refer to the campground map for exact locations.

General Store

Located inside the amphitheater, the General Store is open 24 hours and offers a variety of products for campers. From condoms to toothpaste to groceries, this is where you go when you realize you’ve forgotten something small at home.

Trash Service

The sanitation crew makes daily rounds throughout the Rally to make sure the campground is clean and litter free. Thank you for helping them to preserve the natural beauty of the Black Hills.

Free Pancake Breakfast

From 7-11 every morning during the Rally, the Sons of Light Ministry provides campers with a free pancake breakfast near the West Gate. They purchase their supplies through donations, volunteer their time and make considerable efforts, so we ask that you to continue to be considerate to them, thankful for their willingness to serve and generous toward their ministry.

Bikini Beach Swim Paradise

The beer is cold, the water is warm and the events and music are hot at the Buffalo Chip’s Bikini Beach! Kick back, relax and take in part of authentic Sturgis Buffalo Chip® experience at this inviting piece of paradise just outside the main amphitheater. Soak up the sun on one of the lounging decks, fly off the rope swing, ride the slip ‘n’ slide, take a dip to cool off, throw back some cold drinks from the bars or take in the stage action from a table on the patio or while digging your toes into the sand.
