Carsten Cottages is a campground and lodging property in the Northern Black Hills on more than 18 acres, featuring four dry cottages, a shower house, and four RV sites. The grounds include a pavilion with a commercial kitchen, outdoor sitting areas and a covered picnic area located by North Fork Rapid Creek, and two ponds alongside a large level meadow. The Mickelson Trail runs along the front of the property, and USFS land borders the back. A renovated main home with additions is present on-site and includes a hot tub, an endless swimming pool, and a private outdoor relaxation area separated from the camping zones. Additional improvements include two large shop buildings (one with heating and a concrete slab, the other with a gravel floor), a barn, and multiple outbuildings suited for animals. The property has an asphalt driveway, multiple patios and decks, direct access to adjacent USFS lands for horse enthusiasts, an ample water supply from the creek, and a Generac backup generator.
