No Experience Required

Katmandu Campground at 12927 Katmandu Ln in Sturgis, South Dakota, offers over 250 spacious RV sites and a practical, friendly base during the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Park your rig in the Katmandu valley and settle into pull-thru sites offering 30- or 50-amp power and varied site lengths; there are no sewer hookups, but two dump stations make longer stays straightforward.

This is a campground built for people who want comfort without pretense. The modern bath house provides 24-hour hot showers, private stalls, flushing toilets, handicap accessible facilities and lockers. A laundry area, an on-site store stocked with essentials, and a full bar with snacks keep downtime convenient. Kids can stretch legs at the playground, and trail access from the campground lets you step directly into nearby riding and walking routes. Owners operate with clear rules—no campfires due to county ordinance, quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and no parking after dark—so community atmosphere stays intact even during the rally.

Practical details matter for RV travelers: check-in asks that you arrive before dark and late arrivals are discouraged, so plan travel windows carefully. Pets are welcome when quiet and well behaved, but they aren’t permitted in shower houses or restrooms and cannot be tied outside buildings. Smoking is restricted in indoor facilities and cabins to maintain clean shared spaces.

What makes Katmandu stand out is scale plus sensible amenities during one of America's busiest motorcycle events. The campground balances privacy and social energy: pull-thru sites give easy access for trailers, and on-site lockers and loading ramps simplify arrival and departure. With two dump stations you can stay multiple nights without hassle, and the staff notes they'll help when issues arise—private ownership means attentive, enforceable policies that prioritize guest safety.

Whether you’re staging for a rally ride, touring western South Dakota, or seeking a roomy RV park with dependable services, Katmandu Campground is a practical choice. Bring propane stoves for cooking (open campfires are prohibited), secure your gear in available lockers, and time your arrival to enjoy the quiet hours after an eventful day. Meeting point is Katmandu Campground • 12927 Katmandu Ln, Sturgis, SD 57785; during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally expect high demand—book early and plan your arrival window to avoid after-dark check-ins.

Plan to reserve a pull-thru if you need easy drive-through access and check site lengths if traveling with a long trailer. Bring extra water and gray-water containers since sewer hookups aren’t available. Use the laundry and locker services to travel light, and respect quiet hours to maintain goodwill with neighbors during rally nights. Staff presence and posted rules keep the park orderly; treat shared facilities courteously and report maintenance needs to the campground office promptly.
