Why Keystone?
Take a step into a town where the simplicity of the past meets modern-day fun and amenities.
A small town nestled in the magnificent beauty of the Black Hills. Originally built as a “men only” gold mining camp, later, home to the men that carved Rushmore and today Keystone has transformed into a vacation destination for all ages.
You will have plenty of activities to choose from in the stunning town of Keystone. As a premier tourist destination in the Black Hills, Keystone offers more than just lodging, dining, and shopping — it is also filled with fun and educational activities and attractions. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you will find it in the Keystone area. Ride a chairlift through the beauty of the Black Hills, explore caves, try your luck at making a hole-in-one at miniature golf, visit your favorite presidents at Mount Rushmore National park, or even get lost in a mirror maze. Keystone is also just a hop, skip, and jump away from local day trips like the Badlands, Crazy Horse Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, or Custer State Park. Keystone is the perfect home base for your vacation.
