LIVE IS TOMORROW because everyone is at The Buffalo round up in the park! You should stream it! Come see us tomorrow morning at 7:30 for the LaST LIVE of the season! Don’t worry, we will keep you entertained all winter on Friday Mornings — but this will be the last in season Live!

Also watch the round up! It is Live! (I will post link in the comments). Look for Keystone’s own Tracy Spaans — carrying the SoDak flag with her Pink Chaps!

Hey, you GUYS...... This is your very last chance to spend some quality time with Battle Creek Vacations for the 2026 season! We have 2 rooms open for the weekend and then we are going to cruise into the off season with a full house! ~

Sooooo --- I am talking to you, Wyoming ..... When was the last time you visited your neighbor's in The Black Hills?

THIS IS YOUR TIME! Throw those kids in the car --- and drive them right to grandma's! Drop them off and point your car toward us -- we will help you figure out the rest when you get here ;-)

Seriously, JUST BOOK THE ROOM!

and as always ..... thank you for your support....

Nestled amidst spectacular rocks above historic Battle Creek in Keystone, South Dakota, this cozy lodge provides the perfect home base for your vacation. Located just 2 miles from Mt. Rushmore! Check out our other locations located through out the Black Hills.

To our guests, customers, friends, and family who have personally experienced the service and hospitality we provide at Battle Creek Lodge—would you please take a moment to leave us an honest review?

Unfortunately, we are dealing with a disgruntled guest who has attempted to pressure us by threatening and posting negative reviews when we would not meet their demands. As a small, locally owned business, a few unfair reviews can significantly affect our reputation.

We are not asking anyone to post something they haven’t personally experienced. We are simply asking those who genuinely know our business and the care we give our guests to share their honest experiences.

Your reviews, recommendations, and continued support mean more to us than you may realize. Thank you for standing behind BCL and supporting our small business! 💛

Shout out to Big Thunder Gold Mine and Sandi McLain for all of her work in prepping for this event. It was a ton of fun and we are already looking forward to next year!
