Does anyone have a suggestion for a really nice campground with full hook up and a wonderful view?

Lots of CGs in the Black Hills because its very popular. Just be aware that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (75th Anniversary) will take place August 3 - 9. If you're going around that time, you may want to call first to make sure that your choice has empty spots available.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

Having worked in the park and spending a lot of time in the area, I would go with either Horse Thief or Custer's Gulch over the Rafter J

I'd second Custer's Gulch for privacy and quiet. View is Ok but not spectacular. Nice owner. Custer State park has campgrounds with great views and wildlife passing through camp but I'm not sure about full hook ups. I've only tented in the park.

x5 We stayed in the area called the "island"-large sites, trees,and very quiet! Rafter J is one of our favorites.

Check out Horse Thief Campground just outside Hill City. Very beautiful views of the hills.

X3 on Rafter J.
This place is a little expensive, however, you still get what you pay for in most instances.

Rafter J Bar Ranch in Hill City is really nice and a good central location.

The Roost Resort in Custer has a few full hook-up sites (it's a very small campground) and a beautiful view. Really nice people running the place too.
