Our Story

A place to slow
down and breathe

Red Side Inn and Campground sits along Main Street in Claire City — a small, friendly town in the heart of South Dakota. We opened our doors to travelers who wanted more than a stopover: people who wanted a place that felt like home, even if just for a night.

Whether you're here for a weekend of fishing on the lake, a cross-country road trip, or simply a quiet night away from the noise, we've built this place to be your basecamp — comfortable, honest, and welcoming.
