With open spaces for family games, hammocks near the creek, and room for family reunions or group getaways, Wickiup’s shared spaces make it easy to spend time together while still enjoying the comfort of your own cabin.

FAQs

Find answers about your stay at Wickiup Cabins in the canyon.

Do you rent tubes for floating the creek?

No. Wickiup does not rent tubes, so guests should bring their own. In warmer months, Spearfish Creek offers plenty of opportunities for floating and cooling off, making it a favorite way to spend time in the water.

Can we fish at Wickiup?

Yes. Spearfish Creek runs through our property, making Wickiup Cabins a fly fisherman's paradise. Just bring your waders and drop in. If you brought kayaks or prefer lake fishing, we are also a fantastic base camp for surrounding lake adventures.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes! We welcome dogs at Wickiup Cabins. The pet fee is $25 per dog, per day, with a maximum of two dogs per cabin. Dogs must be leashed on the property and cleaned up after.

Will my cell phone work?

Cell service is available in Spearfish Canyon, though coverage and signal strength vary by carrier and location. Wickiup Cabins also offers Wi Fi for calls, messages, and browsing. Since service in the canyon is not fiber based, speeds may be slower than in town and may not support streaming on devices.

Are the cabins close together?

Cabins are thoughtfully positioned to preserve privacy while still being part of a connected property. You won’t feel isolated, but you also won’t feel crowded. For a better sense of the distance between cabins, watch the video on our Black Hills Area Info page, which includes drone footage of the property.

Are the cabins creekside?

Many cabins are located directly along Spearfish Creek, while others offer creek views or are set slightly back within the canyon. Creekside availability varies by cabin, and specific locations are shown on the property map.
