Very nice park. We had a site near the highway, so we had some road noise all night, but overall a very pleasant stay. There's a brand new drive-in theater about 2 miles away (http://roysbhtwindrivein.webs.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/roysblackhillstwindrivein). Restrooms and shower facilities very nice. Close to many Black Hills attractions. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Have faith, Hermosa seems a long way South of Rapid City, but they are on the right just after SD 40 & 36. The campground is official South Dakota; a rolling hillside with 20-mile views and a big sky, trees are just shrubs. Very easy access and pull through sites, all very level within the campground. Wi-Fi reliable. Nice and dark at night, but proximity to SD 79 allowed for noise from occasional semi climbing the grade in front of campground. We asked for directions to Mt. Rushmore, and they routed us up SD 36, the wrong choice for a Class A (low clearances), and we had to backtrack all the way back and then take the correct SD 40! They ought to have known better about their own local roads! Still, a nice park and I would use them again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park right of the road, but didn't get any noise. Convenient to Custer state park, and Mt. Rushmore. Sites are all pull through and long. Fairly level, but no shade. Passport America park, with reasonable rates, but close enough to the "attractions". Very Big Rig friendly. Cable is only a few channels, Wi-Fi was good. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice flat gravel campground located in the rolling hills of truck route 79. Close to road but noise doesn't seem to be an issue. This park is at the edge of the Black Hills, no trees, but only 30 minutes from the center of Custer State Park. Gravel all looked well compacted referring to earlier comment. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely away from the hassle of Rapid City and out in the country. Gas/diesel available right next door. Six rows; first has back to Rt.79, sixth faces hillside with horses. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very barren, open campground with absolutely no shade but it is centrally located and convenient to all of the area attractions in Hill City, Rapid City, Rushmore area, and even Hot Springs. We had a level, pull-through site with ample room and the utilities were good. We did not find the office/store hours convenient as they opened at 8AM, which we felt was late, and they closed at 6:30PM, which is early if you have been out sight-seeing. The store was very sparse, but there is a fuel and convenience store right up the road. The pool, which was small for the number of sites, could have been cleaner and better maintained. There were two laundry/shower/restroom areas. The one in the office building was preferable, having been recently upgraded. The other, toward the rear of the campground, appeared to be under renovation and needed better maintenance during our stay. Cell phone and WI-Fi service are spotty which is typical of the Black Hills area. Because of the convenience to the attractions, we would not hesitate to stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Monthly rate is $15 per night but with taxes it is closer to $16. The staff was friendly and helpful. Water pressure could have been better; we would fill our tank and use the pump. Highway noise is minimal during the night. We were in a site facing the pasture with horses and cows. It was easy to level. The state parks offer recycling. Occasionally when we were walking in the lower section of the park we could smell sewer. The roads could be tight if the park is busy and they can be dusty. When the site next to us was empty, they said we could park our tow vehicle there and that was nice. When we had a neighbor, our site seemed small. Plus our neighbor’s sewer connection was in the middle so it was very close to us. Verizon and Sprint worked well. You can wash the rig if you use a bucket. We would stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, south of Rapid City. With this big rig I chose to park outside the Black Hills and take easy day trips to the interior. Easy access to main roads leading in. Good interior gravel roads and sites with grass between each site. I would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall a nice, friendly park. All the sites are pull-through, but only about 60', so they gave us an extra site to park our tow vehicle. Good points - easy access, 2 modern laundry facilities, plenty of room between sites, helpful friendly staff, and great view of surrounding countryside. Not so good - narrow access roads, gravel sites are not well packed, so heavy rigs sink in even when it's dry, and poor water pressure - only about 30# at the spigot. We stayed here for 7 days using the Passport America discount, and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a good rate because it was off season. The park had good gravel roads, a little tight, but you can do it in most sites. They were not long enough to be hook-up, but that was not an issue for us as we did stay a few days. The rest rooms and showers were very clean. The owner was very helpful with information. It is close to the State park as well as the Black Hills. The only issue we had was the sewer was uphill making it difficult to drain. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were not able to rate the bathrooms next to our space because they had closed signs on them. When it rains the roads are very muddy and soft. This is definitely not a pet friendly park. We didn't feel welcome at this park. Large billboard sign said full hookup 18 dollars a night but were charged 28 dollars. We would never stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not a bad RV park. The sites and roads are gravel with grass in between. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit. All the facilities were closed for the season. Lots of wind as there is nothing to block it. Would stay here again if ever in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well we stayed here because it seemed close to Mount Rushmore and because our rate was a Passport America savings. Granted it was late in the season BUT, the lower shower building was closed, the pool was closed( didn't care about this), the lower part of the CG was soft ground with many bumps. I actually ruined my cheap, plastic Jack pads on this soil! The odor from sewer gases while others dumped was evident. The Wi-Fi didn't work at our site. We had to drive the toad up to the main building to use it. With all this being said: all connections worked well, Verizon Cell worked, and satellite was no problem (no tree's to interfere). Not sure I would return: maybe??? We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The campground is very new and clean. It is located right off a nice four lane highway and backs up to a field with friendly horses. Free Wi-Fi and cable, that has been a rarity. For me, the fact that there were no trees was the one negative. I will definitely be back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our 2nd trip "out west" so we've been here before. This is a great campground with plenty of room for rigs and tows. I can't attest to the shower facilities, but I can say that the laundry(s) are immaculate and all have been in working order when I used them. The folks that run the place are great. Very friendly and willing to assist you any time you need them. The sites are nice and wide w/gravel. It's very convenient to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer, and other hot spots you want to hit on vacation. The price is right with the PPA card. Full hook ups, cable and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi works as I'm on it now!

This campground has a lot of potential, but is sadly lacking in some areas. There were only two usable showers (long lines were common). One of which was for handicap and the stool was plugged on every morning we were there. There are two other doors marked shower, but found out that one is storage and the other was broken. The pool closed at 8pm, after a day of sightseeing would have liked to take a dip and relax. The lower part of the park had a constant sewer smell. The Wi-Fi was so slow that we gave up trying to use it. The price was right and they were helpful with delivering ice to our camp site. The laundry area was clean and all machines and dryers were working. Will definitely look for another park when in the area again. We camped here in a Tent.

This campground is located off the highway but the horses in the pasture give you the feeling your in the country. Very quite and close to everything in the Black Hills. The campground has a store but it is not well stocked. There is a store around the corner if you need it. The staff is very friendly and they also helped us out with some propane (after hours) when we needed it. On a side note, the people in this area are outgoing and friendly. It is so nice to visit an area that appreciates your tourist dollars. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects PPA nightly rate. Park is VERY close to the highway with lots of traffic noise. The only "amenity" near the park is a Flying-J truck stop. Park was muddy after rain. Parking with rig is impossible as we had to park in an adjacent site after getting permission from the office. Won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Convenient to all the local attractions and Rapid City. Clean restrooms and showers. All pull through sites. They have three different length sites. It amazed me that the office ALWAYS put class A motorhomes and 5ers in sites that were too short. Nearly everyone had to park their vehicles in adjacent sites. All sites had traces of rock and lots of dirt. I saw many sites, ours included, that had standing water and mud on the door side. Everyone seemed to sink two to six inches as they drove into their site. One day they used a blade to smooth out the ruts in the empty sites. Of course they didn't add any rock. Because of all the dirt and lack of gravel it will be bad there when the place finally dries out and the wind starts blowing all the dirt around. Wi-Fi was adequate. Even with all the cons, I would still stay here again because it is so convenient to Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and Rapid City. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Looks like a relatively new park set up for bigger rigs as long as you are less than 60'. Unfortunately, they scraped out the parking spaces and filled them with too little gravel. Granted, it has been a wet spring, but to have the wheels sink into the gravel 2 inches as you enter is unacceptable. The rain goes to the site rather than absorbed by the grass. I have 15 inch planks under the jacks and they kept settling such that I could not level correctly. Some sites are level but some are not. Looks like no effort was made to make the sites level. All sites are pull through. Don't ever expect shade here. The trees they planted look like they are never watered. Some of them are dead or dying. We had good Verizon signal as well as Verizon 3G service. Cable is clear with 13 channels. Rate shown is Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is based on the "winter" rate. A convenient place to stay for exploring the Black Hills and Rapid City. This is a large, open park with small trees, mostly level gravel sites, and grass between average-sized pull-through sites. Very good free WiFi and limited, but clear cable TV. Verizon cell and AirCard worked well. Friendly staff and nice office area. Close to the road, but noise was largely limited to the daylight hours. One apparently permanent resident had two dogs tied outside, that occasionally barked to distraction, but otherwise quiet and dark this time of year. We'd stay here again.

This park is very clean and well maintained. Management is friendly and helpful. There were three items that were disappointing: 1. Many amenities were closed in preparation for winter. (Pool, one laundry room, the hot tub.) But we were still charged for "Summer Rates." (Read higher priced) 2. Advertised Wi-Fi did not work. 3. Our first assigned site was so short that we could not unhook our truck. With the trailer in place, the tow vehicle was across the road and within two feet of the camper there. Management did assign a new site without a problem. The campground is well located for visiting the surrounding attractions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for one night the Thursday before Labor Day. Rate shown is PPA for FHU site with cable TV (minimal with <20 channels). WiFi was free and we got strong reception in the RV. That, however, may be a function of there only being 30 other RVs in this 140 site park. It is sometimes hard to comment on a parks facilities when the park is only 1/4 full. Others have mentioned that the park is virtually treeless (good for satellite reception) but close to a busy 4 lane road (possible noise problems), etc. There is a small pool and a small playground. Personally, I couldn't see staying here for more than a night during the summer when the temps are normally 90F+. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park provided a reasonably good base for us to access Rapid City (driver's license renewal) and the Black Hills tourist areas. There are 140 mostly pull-through sites and a dozen or so cabins plus a tenting area. As others have noted, there is some road noise (SD-79 is a pretty good road but they have cut lateral grooves in the concrete that "sing") and the park is very open with few trees. We had a good satellite signal for both TV and Internet, and a reasonable Verizon signal. The interior roads and sites are all gravel, with reasonable site separation done in grass (mostly brown in the late summer). WiFi was passable, with a couple of dropouts during our two-week stay. Staff was generally friendly and helpful, and facilities (washrooms, laundry, pool) all seemed in working order and properly cleaned. The park was 1/3 to 1/2 full during our stay, and there were several perma-rigs in the northern (downhill) section of the park, in varying states of repair and neatness. There was some dust from the fast traffic (neither long-term residents nor staff in golf carts seem to observe the speed limit) and many sites were quite soft with jacks making 4-6" deep impressions (our air-leveled coach settled some each day, requiring satellite realignment every few days). The rate noted reflects an Escapees 50% discount. As others have noted, rates seem to vary with site size; we were in a shorter pull-through (about 48' with a 45' coach) based on the discount rate, but they didn't put anyone next to us so the toad had a space to itself. Overall, this was a good value Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean park with all the desired amenities - Wi-Fi, cable TV, pool, laundry, showers etc. Long pull thrus, easy access for any size rig. Close to Hwy 79 so road noise may be an issue for some people. We stayed here for 4 nights. Daily rate reflects Passport price for 50 AMP, a good price for this park. Would rate higher but road noise, no trees, no shade, out in open prairie, not a problem if you using this as a base to visit the sights. It's close to all the important things to do and see.

We chose this campground because of its central location to many attractions in this part of South Dakota and its $147 cost for a week stay. Has very friendly personnel. The campground store had a very limited selection of items and groceries. Nearest Wal-Mart is in Rapid City, about 30 miles north. Laundry, bathrooms and showers were spacious and very clean every day. The only drawback was a lack of shade trees. We plan to stay here again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pros: Nice, neat campground with friendly, courteous staff. Clean laundry facilities. Ice available at a very reasonable price. Easily accommodates the big rigs. In a good location for touring Rapid City to the north, Custer State Park and Black Hills to the west, and Hot Springs to the south. Offers a weekly rate, which for full hookups and a pull-through site, is very good at little more than $22 a night. Cons: No shade. Nearly every site has a fire ring (which is important to us), but the sites are so close together, the fire rings can't be used for fear of damage to our fifth wheel or the neighbor's RV. The pads are a somewhat soft dirt and gravel mix that we felt might become a problem if it rained -- thankfully, it did not during our stay. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at this campground, but we would probably not stay here again, primarily because we prefer the open areas of the state park campgrounds.

The park had an unprotected, somewhat desolate feeling. The trees were small and didn't provide much shade or coziness. This park was definitely more for RV's rather than tents or popups. The water, electric and tv were fine. The camp store had minimal items. The bathrooms were clean but did not supply hand soap. The staff could have been friendlier. Upon check-in we received a rather strict "rules" handout that did not make us feel welcome. We were planning on spending multiple nights here but checked out after one.

Nice park for a base station to explore Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. The rates are reasonable. They do have a small playground, a pool and a hot tub, nothing spectacular but they do offer them for your use. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only suggestion I have is to use jack pads or ask the office for some wood blocks for your jacks. The ground is soft in some areas on the sites and the jacks have a tendency to sink. Other than that it was a pleasant stay and a great location to explore the area attractions. Great place to stay if you can't get a site in the parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pull Thru sites were not very long. We were towing our boat and wanted to take our camper off of our truck to tour the area. So we had to park the truck in the site next to us as did large motorhomes with a car in tow and fifth wheels. showers, while clean were not as functional as one might like, no bench or chair in the indivisual showers which were between the bathrooms.

Rate is for Passport America. Cable TV is limited and lower channels do not come in well. No trees allow for wind to come through easily. Location is very convenient for visiting Southern Black Hills although most of the attractions are on 16 rather than 79. It is necessary to make the 20 mile trip into Rapid City for real groceries; Walmart, Safeway, and Thrift Store are all in town. We stayed almost two weeks and saw practically everything,but we did fill the toad gas tank several times; the area has much to offer. We would stay here again whether passing through or for an extended stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very clean park. We stayed for a month so I am not sure of the nightly rate. It was about $340 for the month of June & July. The laundry room was very clean and the bathrooms are unisex complete bathrooms for showering, and they also have regular bathrooms that clean and roomy. The Office has only a few things in the way of camping needs and even less in the way of food. But coffee is available for free and the help is very friendly. The hot tub was not available in by early July, but the pool was very refreshing. Small cabins are available for rent. Not bathroom facilities in the cabins, but they are close to the bath houses. Overall it is nice RV Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped there after they went on winter hours and never saw anyone at the office even though we were there five days. We are Passport America and couldn't find a person to check if the winter rates were to be discounted or not. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is located 15 miles south of Rapid City, and is centrally located to Custer State Park, Hot Springs, and Rapid City. We used it as our base of exploration for two weeks, and were well pleased. Extended drives to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sturgis, Spearfish and Hot Springs were easy from this park. The owner has the very best wi-fi system we have seen, with lightening fast speed, and four separate wi-fi networks on air! The owners live on site, but the office is not always open during posted hours (the park's only drawback to us). The sites are pull-through, and are gravel, as are the interior roads. The laundry has four washers and four dryers, and is kept clean. The fire rings are located at the rear of the pull-through sites, due to local regulations. The park is quiet except for the frequent and fast traffic on Highway 79 alongside the park. For some reason the sound of the vehicles seemed magnified. The park had all of the desired amenities, was centrally located, and was value priced. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pool was emptied due to dirt from wind. The trees were small and did not block the winds. Roads are gravel and sites are pretty level. Office staff is helpful and nice. Campground is outside all area attractions. Next time we will probably stay closer in. Rate reflects a weekly rate with Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a virtually new campground. The park staff members were friendly, and the sites were gravel and level. In the office, there was also a computer available for internet use. There are 16 air-conditioned camping cabins. The only negative is the total absence of shade. It will take 15 years for the small trees to achieve any real size. We paid the Passport America rate, which included local taxes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park offered full service, was fairly handy to all that the area offered, but was dusty and windy. The highway was very near and had a noisy surface. The reason we stayed there was that it was a Passport America park and we were staying for three weeks. If we had to do it again, we would probably opt to stay at a nicer park. Although the WiFi guru said the WiFi was good, I had unreliable service. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for 1 month at $300. per month rate. Nice and clean camp with pull through sites. Great for big rigs with dish, wide open only little trees. Nice people run the camp. Close to Black Hills and Mt.Rushmore. So much to do here we needed more time. We will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pull through sites are 46 feet long with room for big rigs but not room for tow vehicle and must be parked along road. Gravel road is dusty and you must watch for rattlesnakes on outside perimeter. However, great 50 amp service with satellite & cell signals a bargain at $18. Hint: buy groceries before you arrive as there is nothing nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites had cable but not too many channels, the wireless internet was not working properly at the time but worked in the office. The restrooms were clean in my opinion and the showers were unisex and clean and best of all there was a wheelchair accessible shower. All sites were flat which is also great for wheelchairs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We full time and this park works for us. The monthly rate is 300.00. Free WIFI that works great, pool, hot tub, playground area for kids. It will get more expensive and noisy when the motorcycle rally arrives in Aug. Close to Black Hills attractions & Mt. Rushmore. Also close to Rapid City for shopping. We have stayed here numerous times and plan to stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Open park. Closer to Custer State Park and the Wildlife Loop than Rushmore Shadows. Stayed a week on Passport Rates. Our rig is almost 40'. The site they put us in was supposed to be 55 but we had to park our car in the next site. Friendly people not a bad location. Just outside the Black Hills. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is well located to tour the Black Hills. The employees are very friendly and helpful. There seems to be a lack of on site management. The office is closed from 12 noon to 4PM which was a surprise. The sites are pull-thru and mostly level. The park needs some repairs and general upkeep which maybe due to the lack of on-site management. The park is on the highway ( State 79 ) but is quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this park last week and enjoyed the location for four nights. They were just completing their wireless system and it was nice to have free wireless internet in the camper. The sites were all level with crushed rock and nice grass areas between the sites. We especially enjoyed the pool, despite the fact that it was not very large. The bathrooms and laundry room were also nice. A nice Passport America campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is easy to find right off the highway. The sites are all in the open and all appear to be pull-thru and full hookup. Some sites are for big rigs only. While we were there the pool was not open due to repairs. The office folk were very helpful and pleasant. The store had very limited supplies but town was only about 15-20 min away. The washrooms were very clean and large. Cable was very limited. This is a Passport America Park. It was a great home base for sight-seeing in the area (Mt Rushmore, Badlands etc). We definitely reccommend this park to anyone going to the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The owner does not care as much about the park as their workamper did. The ground is soft and our leveler sank into the mud and the grass is nothing but weeds. There was a dog running around loose and in the store and must have belonged to the one living in the store. I wouldn't recommend this park to anyone for more then 1 night as they do have PPA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access from Hwy. 79 and fairly close to major attractions. No shade, so it can get hot and the wind blew everyday. Laundry adequate but some washers/dryers always out of order. No gameroom available when we were there and the campstore was not fully stocked as it was early in the season. Good overnight stop due to Passport America discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
