Sturgis, South Dakota: Coming off the heels of an exciting and successful 2009 Sturgis Rally, The Broken Spoke Saloon & Campground is looking forward to the 70th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally with competitive rates, (especially for early-bookers)
Close to 3,000 campers called the Broken Spoke Saloon & Campground on 79 North their home for the 69th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and as usual the Broken Spoke did not disappoint with free concerts all week – including incredible shows by Foghat and .38 Special – a huge, free pool & hot tubs with live entertainment and the finest of bar maids serving up cold ones all week. The cabins and RV spots were full and the general store was a busy meeting place for hot coffee, supplies and free Wi-Fi. The Limpnickie Lot and the Wall of Death kept people entertained with trike races and daily shows – and the inaugural “Good ‘Ol Days Raceway” was a hit as anyone versed in the old school had expected.
To honor those in our armed forces, the Broken Spoke had the Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall on display all week, with a patriotic opening and closing ceremony and a Rolling Thunder Freedom Ride on Wednesday. The week kicked off with another tribute – this time to industry greats Sugar Bear and Michael Lichter. This ride and the annual Cycle Source ride which took place on Tuesday both converged on a working ranch with the most gracious hosts you will find anywhere – and lots of fun and games organized by the family. And of course, while every one else was resting up after 10 days at the rally, owner Jay Allen went out to Bonneville to successfully set another (8th!) Land Speed Record for Broken Spoke Racing. The man never sleeps!
Given the reputation that the Broken Spoke Campground is building as the “comfortable campground” with friendly staff, oasis-like pool and tiki bar, cabins, beautiful setting and more, people are already starting to secure their spot for the 70th annual 2010 rally. Until December 31, 2009, rates will continue at $99 + tax, and will increase to $119.38 + tax on January 1, 2010. The 2010 rate is in honor of the rally’s inception in 1938 (the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was cancelled for two years during WWII). All rates are per person for any length of stay throughout the rally. The campground on 79 North will be open on August 3rd through August 15th, 2010. Private, air-conditioned cabins with mini-refrigerators, microwaves and front patios are available for rent for the 70th rally, along with oversized 30 and 50-amp RV spots. More cabins and bathhouses are in the plans, as well as more RV spots and a café next to the General Store.
Be sure you book early.
