About Us

Campfire Cabins is proudly owned by Al and Sarah Sutton.  We grew up in the Black Hills. We were high school sweethearts, married after graduation, then moved to Rapid City for work. 25 years and 6 children later we had the opportunity to purchase land and move back into the heart of the Black Hills. We had missed the beauty and peacefulness of the local area and wanted to give homesteading a try.  With two teenagers still at home, we operate the cabins as a small family business.

We believe family is important, and we want to give your family a memorable vacation!  We know how stressful it can be on everyone stuck in a car all day.  Once you get here there is plenty of room for your kiddos to run around, play ball, and have a water fight on the front lawn while you take a breather and unpack.  There are toys, games, books, and movies for them to use.  Grab a drink and have a seat on the front porch and just enjoy their energy and happiness!

With 6 children of our own, we know how expensive travel can be!  Vacations don’t have to be costly or “flashy”.  Kids will remember the TIME and EXPERIENCES you give them.  They will remember bottle feeding calves up in the Sutton’s barn and playing with the baby rabbits.  They will remember the days you spent hiking, boating, or ATVing with them outdoors.  They will remember the other kids they met at the campfire and smores!  They will remember playing soccer, beanbags, or flashlight tag with those same new friends while you get a chance to relax around the campfire and visit with other families from around the country.  Want to know which trails are the best?  Ask the other parents & grandparents who have already hiked or rode them!  What is the best scenic drive?  Is the pontoon boat or ATV rental worth it?  Where are the best restaurants?  Everyone is willing to help you out & share their experiences.

We live on the property and are always available to answer your questions.  Feel free to call or message us anytime!  We stop down at the campfire most nights, so come over and introduce yourselves!  Smores are on us!  We look forward to getting to know you and be an added blessing to your Black Hills experience!
