I've always heard that if you didn't make your reservations LAST year, you won't get close this year. I went to Sturgis in '95, but my memory of it isn't real clear.
Good luck and be careful.

I have only been once and we stayed at the chip. The traffic can be pretty bad, although sometimes you can slip out the back way, problem with that is the area right in front of the chip, it can get all congested again. The chip its self was pretty hot and very little shade where we were. Also, the showers got pretty nasty after a few days, and the ones closes to us, didn't even have hot water after about 9 am. On the up side, you can walk a short distance to the concerts which was GREAT! I loved that. I think when I go again, I would not stay at the Chip. Just my opinion

We stay at Glencoe. Great showers, lots of shade, good grass, creek running through, "beach" with pond, small concerts, lots of conveniences. It is only a mile closer to town than the Chip, but it is all paved.

Well I stay at the chip in 00 and 11, I didn't have any problems, traffic shit that is everywhere, yes the roads are gravel but its hard packed. Ya want the party you got it, I know our group got in trouble and security came in cause we hopped up a golf cart and jumped it LOL!, the shows were fantastic, the industry dinner was ok, enjoyed the swimming hole, and art show, loved the zip line. I had fun, but like most things it is what you make of it. have a great one! "T"
