I went in 2005 with a friend and a friend of his. We stayed in a camp ground which was called Katmandu, if memory serves me. We choose it because it had a reputation for being well run and quiet, unlike Buffalo Chip or similar. The camp ground was great and no crazies there. They had a couple of old shuttle buses that we took at night rather than trying to ride and find places to park.

I enjoyed it and the crowds were huge. Finding a place to eat was challenging but we did find a small family style restaurant which although a little slow was good. There were places that got the huge crowds and some that are a little more realistic. Maybe still like that. Having to line up at gas stations because of crowds for quite a while was different.

It was a real experience for sure. I have been back a couple of times with my wife and the same friend and his wife but not during the event. What a difference. Doubt whether I would ever go again during the event but very glad I did it once.

There is some terrific riding to be done in the area and I'll second Custer State Park as a must do.

The block long lines and hour waits are also great at the gas stations. Been there. Done that. :yes::yes:
