I know there will be varying thoughts on this but I am curious as to what cg's you like/dislike in the Deadwood SD area.
We are spending three months on the Outer Banks this spring/early summer and then planning on another two to three months in this area. I am thinking of waiting until the Sturgis bike rally is over and kids are back in school before arriving.
We want full hookups and don't care whether pull thru or back in.

I would suggest looking in Sturgis. There is numerous CGs there.

When you said this area, I would expand your area beyond Sturgis. South Dakota has many wonderful areas and campgrounds. I prefer the surroundings around Custer. Campgroundreviews.com can narrow it down for you.

While the Deadwood area has many CGs, many will close up after Labor day. I have a few favorites, about 6-7 miles south of Deadwood on 385.
It gets cold at night in that area, the reason many close. It can be very cold in October at Deadwood area altitude. Lots of snow as early as Nov 1st, and after. Great skiing, and snowmobiling area.

We've had a good time in Hill City, but the CG was closing up the day after we left in late September.

Lots of places close after the Labor day weekend. I'd start phoning in your shoes as if they are open now they may well be open in Sept/Oct.
Be prepared for snow.

We did the Steel Wheel CG for a few days this past May. The whole area is an ATV Mecca. Our purpose for stopping was a rodeo in Deadwood plus a drive around some of the scenic roads. Not too bad early in the season. Hate to think what it is like in high season.
While in the area be sure to do at least a few nights in the BLM camping area south of Wall, just north of the entrance to the Badlands NP. Magical. It is what RVing is all about.

Some friends own Custer Crazy Horse campground, they usually stay open later than others and are a real nice batch of people.

Spearfish City CG looked nice when I stopped there... didn't stay as were were already at a different CG for the rally. Elkhorn Ridge has been mentioned by others-- high end resort.

Well kept secret, but Spearfish City park is a great place. Next door to a historic trout hatchery. At the north end of Spearfish Canyon and Spearfish creek flows through it. It is close to I-90 and easy drive to Deadwood and Sturgis. Spearfish is becoming the center of activity area with restaurants and shopping.
