SOUTH DAKOTA

RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA

South Dakota

Tucked into the heart of the USA, South Dakota offers untouched nature in abundance, vast stretches of fertile prairies and early pioneer towns.

Near the eastern border, Sioux Falls is the largest city in the region, and boasts its namesake waterfall. On the opposite side of the state, Rapid City is the gateway to the Black Hills, with mountains, caves, forests and lakes.

In South Dakota's southwest corner is its best-known tourist attraction, the National Memorial, where the 18 m- (60 ft.) high heads of four US presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln) have been blasted and carved out of the mountain.

In the Black Hills, the Crazy Horse Memorial is the world's largest mountain sculpture in progress. The upper half of the 22-story-high horse's head is a memorial honoring the North American Indian, standing 171 m- (563 ft.) high and 195 m- (641 ft.) long.

Notable Attractions

• Mount Rushmore

• Deadwood

• Historic Rapid City

• Siouxland Heritage Museum

Zoo

• Crazy Horse Memorial

...And Much More!
