Hill City, SD RV Park Recommendations?

We’re planning on going to Hill City, SD next week. For those of you who have stayed there, what RV Park was your favorite? What area sites did you enjoy the most?

  • Lauren,

    Our residency is SD but like many RVers we don't live there. Came to SD this year because our driver’s licenses needed to be renewed.

    We actually still have a home in Wisconsin but are on the road 9-10 months out of the year.

    So, we really aren’t that familiar with the Black Hills area. Got our licenses and decided to stay in SD longer and explore the area. Any suggestions on where to stay and what to see are greatly appreciated.

    x3 on Rafter J. We particularly liked the Ranch section as the sites are more shaded and separated. Had that 'state park campground' feel, but with full hookups. Pics are posted in the "post your campsite photos here" thread.

  • We've always stayed at The Beaver Lake Campground, just west of Custer. The Grand Kids have always enjoyed the water slide. We like it!

  • Rafter J - good place. All kinds of tourist traps in the area which I am sure you realize. Hey, you live 25 or so miles from Hill City; am sure you know all the tourist traps!
  • We stayed for a week in Custer's Gulch Campground near the town of Custer. We would go back there if we visit the area again. We enjoyed the drives through Custer State Park, and the tunnels with views of Mt. Rushmore.

    more later.
  • Rafter J Bar is nice and often recommended, but there are several others in the area as well.
