Tent #1: The Ponderosa Palace

Welcome to The Ponderosa Palace, a secluded glamping retreat nestled within Cloud Nine Camping’s 33-acre sanctuary in the heart of the Black Hills. As you pass the Cloud Nine sign and wind your way up the quiet road, you’ll leave the everyday behind and enter a world where pine and oak trees tower above, ancient rock formations rise from the earth, and the peaceful rhythm of nature takes center stage.

Tucked a half mile beyond the entrance, The Ponderosa Palace offers a tranquil setting set apart from the main road, allowing for an immersive outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort. Your tent is surrounded by the quiet hum of wilderness, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a deer grazing nearby, hear the distant call of a wild turkey, or even catch a glimpse of a fox weaving through the trees.

Inside the tent, you’ll find a comfortable queen size bed, a mini fridge and kitchenette space, and coffee maker, creating a cozy and welcoming space to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or solo, this is a place to settle in, slow down, and truly reconnect. Shared bathroom facilities are a short 100 yard walk from the tent
