![]() However, we noticed some issues / slow downs as we got into the holiday weekend and the area became more crowded - the staff warned us that there just aren’t enough towers in the area during the busy season. We would recommend the Island (50 mbps down) or the Ranch (30 mbps down). But we would recommend Custer (15 minutes away) - more options, larger grocery store, things stay open later.Ĭell service varies throughout the park. Hill City is a short drive (less than 10 minutes) if you need gas or food. You can change dollars for quarters at the office. But the laundry room in the Main camp area was the largest. Normally, we don’t stay at parks this expensive, but we felt our money was well spent. They will receive FedEx and UPS packages and helped us change sites when we asked to.Įverything was well maintained. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Short drives to major attractions like Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park. Will definitely stop here when in the Black Hills again.Excellent location. The WIFI is only available in the Office and at the Base Camp sites. A minor gripe if you like WIFI at your campsite, you wouldn't be happy here. Other sites looked a lot more level though. It took several attempts to get level and even when we did our Anderson Levellers were as far back as they could go. One downside, at least for our site was how un-level it was. The campground has great facilities for children, a well stocked camping store with necessities and a big outdoor pool. Lots of space, lots or privacy and very quiet sites even when busy. Same comment for this visit after all these years. One of the things that always stood out to me about this campground from our tent visits was how spacious the sites were and how much privacy that gave you. These spots in The Island would comfortably accommodate a 35ft+ trailer with plenty space for your tow vehicle. We had a large back-in spot with more than enough room to accommodate our 30ft trailer plus truck. We had reserved a spot in The Island sites. We had stayed here a couple of times, maybe 10-15 years ago in a tent but recently stayed in our RV. RV Atlas podcast has a great description of this place that fits it to a T, it is well worth a listen. We'll be back and will plan to stay longer next time. Custer State Park is equally close and is amazing. It's about a ten minute drive to Crazy Horse and about 20 minute windy road to Mt. We loved staying in the Lower Ranch Camp area, although really any of their areas are super nice. Our view from the front of our campsite was acres of green grass and the mountains. they could easily triple or quadruple the number of campsites. I was struck by the amount of green space here. Sites are very spacious, you have plenty of room between you and your neighbors. Check-in was easy, facilities were very nice. You'll need to reserve early, their reservations open in November, and from what I hear they mostly fill up for the season within a couple of days. I've read multiple reviews of this place being one of the top ten campgrounds in the country, and this place absolutely deserves it's reputation. If you are trying to get away from that, The Ranch is a bit further from the road. Not enough to bother us, but you don’t feel like you are in the middle of no where. There is just a tiny bit of highway noise. We had similar experiences with both Verizon and AT&T.
