Nice, clean park with friendly work kampers. Sites had covered patios. Sites were difficult to get into due to cramped space. A good centralized location for touring the Black Hills. We stayed here for a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They say big rigs are welcome - and I made it in with the help of a man guiding me. What I did not realize is that I scraped a tree and dented my awning and roof. At one point the guy waved for me to stop and said back up and swing wider so I could make the turn. I asked him if I hit anything and he said no. 2 days later I noticed the damage - but of course it was to late to complain. There really isn't a lot of room and if the guide doesn't do a good job - well you get the picture - and he won't tell you he caused you to damage your rig - so be very - very careful in this place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. Convenient to most everything in the area. There are campgrounds that are prettier and more centrally located, but we wanted to stay near the interstate. Across the street from Reptile Gardens and close to Bear Country USA. Very nice people and easy to work with. If the campground was full, it would be difficult for the big rigs to get around and there is a mobile home park on the side and back of the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park would have been extremely tight with our 37' fifth wheel had it been full, but it late September is was only 1/4 full so we had adequate maneuvering room and it was actually quite pleasant. Our Verizon cell phones had just one bar of signal but did work within the park. No problem finding our satellite between the trees with our tripod-mounted internet system. Staff was courteous. Would stay here again but only in off-season with our size rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park with a great covered patio. Very close to Mt. Rushmore and Custer state park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Big park with small park feel. Camped with friends and were given two sites beside each other with picnic shelter between the two with concrete slab. Playground and pool for kids. Clean bathrooms and showers - free. Full hookups and cable and good wi-fi. Just outside of town on way to Mt. Rushmore. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A large park with a small park feel. Close to lots of area attractions, but far enough away so as to not feel "in the middle of everything". Less than 10 miles to Rapid City & travel to places like Deadwood, Sturgis & Hot Springs were less than an hour. Also close enough to Devils Tower to make a day trip. If you are going to do Rushmore, this is the place to stay!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pull thrus are way too tight as has been stated. The only other negative is that we could not get cell reception with Verizon. We also were given two sites for the price of one as they were not very busy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also renting a car was very easy and it was delivered to our door. If the two negatives could be corrected, it would be an excellent campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed four nights. Sorry, but this is not a big rig access campground. Very tight as the others say. Won't want to be here when it's busy. They gave us two sites for the price of one. One for our 35 ft trailer and the other for our 25 ft truck and 8 ft motorcycles. We didn't pay the $2 dollars a day for Cable TV. Later a staff member came by and said we could use it for free. I'm glad we didn't pay for it could only get 8 channels and only 2 came in clear. Wi-Fi works great. No road noise. Does have speed bumps but they are very small. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. Campground is in a valley about 19 miles from Mt. Rushmore and south of Rapid City. Cell phone service is almost non-existent until going about a mile in either direction, after cresting a hill. Sites have sheltered patios. We were allowed to park our tow car in an empty site next to us; as there is not room for a big rig and a tow vehicle on a site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has the nicest staff of anyplace we've every stayed and the modem arrangements are superb. Two connections and two nice places to sit. Only problem with this park is that it is too darned tight. They need to reconfigure and take out some spaces so that it won't be so difficult to navigate with a big rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Would recommend this park if, and only if, your rig is not to large, or if you have reservation and know you are on road. This place has a great idea, small patios covered between rigs with electric provided in them that come in quite handy, especially if you are with another rig. Trying to get in or out though is a treat. We had a 35ft fifth wheeler, and had to wait until the people across from us came back, to allow us to leave. (They had to back up their motorhome!) Staff was friendly and helpful. We were there over 4th of July this year, and never wanted for something to do in area. Price was competitive for Mt. Rushmore, Blackhills area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spaces are too close together, ingress and egress is poor. Place is simply too tight. They charge you for everything--a pet fee, a cable TV fee, a RV wash fee, and so forth. Not worth the money and would stay elsewhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground would be excellent if they were to reconfigure it and reduce the number of spaces. It is too tight and spaces are too small. They charge a pet fee and charge for cable TV. Management and staff of the park are very nice and helpful, however. Your cell phone will not work at this park. The modem facilities in the office are the best I've ever seen in a park--very comfortable and convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are really really small. They have covered patios at some sites but they have to shared with the rv next to you. Gravel sites not enough room between you and other rvs to get outside no where to walk at all. They have a really nice store and place for modem hook up. The hot tub is big enough for 4 people thats all. They rent motel rooms here too, so pool and hot tub is not big enough for all the people. No security . No paved sites . Real nice laundry. The Staff friendly and helpful. Charge 1.00 extra for pets, dog walk outside of park near the hwy. 2.00 extra per night for cable tv. No service for cell phone, have to drive out on top of hill to use it. We paid for 8 days when we came in and after 4 days wanted to leave and ask them for a refund, they would not refund our money said NO REFUNDS. No we will not come to this park again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a membership park in a beautiful setting in a valley between Hwy 16 & Hwy 79. The park is close to all the tourist attractions and plenty of things to do in the park if you elect not to travel once there. The park is divided into different sections, one for pet lovers and non-pet lovers. The only drawback this time of the year is the afternoon thunderstorms which can be quite exciting. We stayed here for a week under our RPI membership. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed on a marketing stay, $39.95 for 3 nights. Looked like a very nice place, and memberships didn't seem to be very expensive. You are obligated to a sales presentation / tour of the facilities, but it was quick and easy. Super nice playground, several pools, and hot tubs. They also had sports courts and a tennis court, all paved roads, and concrete sites with patio. W-iFi was good most of the time, and seemed very fast. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful park with concrete pads and patios. I did get the wifi to work, but it was so weak that it came and went - they need to work on that. The park sits in a valley and we did not have cell coverage while there, tho we did have it in surrounding areas. We would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

R.P.I. Park. Also has their own members who tend to ignore non-members which didn't bother us but might bother others. Site was large and everything worked. We toured the area sights and enjoyed having a nice secure area to stay in. If in the area we would look forward to staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived on the Friday of Labor day weekend with RPI reservations. Park was busy but didn't feel overly crowded. Nice level site with all hookups & cable. WiFi never worked at our site for the whole 2 weeks we were here ( site 103 ) After the long weekend the park pretty much emptied out and they closed down the pool, spa, restaurant, snack shack and the clubhouse hours were shortened. All planned activities also ended - potlucks, cards games, etc. Our neighbors were all Hart Ranch 'members' and we found them not friendly at all - didn't return our hellos or waves. (non-members are given a very bright green car pass - members have a decal attached to the windshield.) We used the park as a home base for sightseeing in the area - most sights are about an hour away ( Deadwood, Sturgis, Spearfish, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Rushmore and Hot Springs ) I think most people come here for the activities and resort type amenities not for sightseeing. Because we are RPI members we will probably stay here again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a membership campground, we stayed a guests of Escapees for that price. No sales pitch given to us, but our stay was during Sturgis Bike Rally, very busy. Park was very well kept and the activities were plenty. We would like to stay again if possible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The resort lay out is great. Very well maintained, each site has paved pad and patio plus lots of grass. Staff at check in desk not well trained but definitely can say the word no. We will try the resort again and hope for friendlier atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Coast-to-Coast rate plus $2/day for utilities. This is just our 2nd year motorhoming, but Hart Ranch is the first "resort" we've encountered that we'd consider spending a whole season in (but not winter). It's reasonably quiet, everybody's friendly, and there are families of all ages and sizes. Like a small town. Close enough to Rapid City and the tourist stuff, isolated enough if that's not your style. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the best resorts we have stayed in. We will definitely visit here again. Well kept, friendly folks, nice large level sites. We were even allowed to wash our rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Started staying here as RPI member. We have since purchased a Hart Ranch membership. There is a $1.00 per day utility charge for everyone, member or not. There is a pet and non pets side. Cabins are available for an additional charge and are quite nice. The staff is very friendly and competent. There are shade trees in some parts of the park. Reservations can be made 60 days in advance. Reservations are needed, as this is a very busy resort. This is the best park in the RPI-C2C system. We will stay at Hart Ranch often. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I believe that this was the best park that I have ever stayed in. The staff was very friendly and the park was very clean and pretty. Although there were not a lot of trees, I loved the openness of the surroundings. On my next trip to Rapid City, SD, I will definitely stay here. This park gives Coast to Coast a very good name. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a membership park. We stayed under RPI. We will return often and probably buy a membership. There are a lot of activities going on in the summer. The park is close to all the Black Hills attractions. It is very clean, quiet and pet friendly. There is a separate section for pets and non-pet. The office staff is very friendly and competent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Visited park with RPI membership and will definately return to this clean, attractive and well-managed campground! The only item that is a "near miss" is the RV pads are a bit tight for Big Rigs when observing the "2-foot" overhang rule (ie you cannot back in more than 2 feet over grassy area). There is plenty of room to enlarge the rear concrete pads in this Membership campground resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an RPI/Coast2Coast resort. The normal RPI rate is $8, but they squeeze an extra buck out by charging extra for 50amp. The wifi comes and goes like most free ones do. But the RULES...oh my! They make sure you don't get past the guard gate w/out knowing the rules. You are greeted with a listing of them, along with a "enjoy your stay". Security travels around 24/7 with RADAR DETECTORS to enforce the 10mph speed limit. Just to be a rebel, I once went 11mph. I don't think you can get a state-enforced ticket, but I don't want to find out. One of the positives is that activities are open to everyone, not just park members like in other RPI parks I've visited. It's not 4-5 miles from Rapid City, it's more like 12, so there's no "running to the store" unless you need "gas station food". The pool is huge and nice. The 3 hot tubs are residential sized and kept at: 92, 98 and 102 degrees and marked, "12 & under", "13 & older" and "18 & older" If you're a member, you can store your RV here and they'll bring it out and park it for you in a spot when you're coming in. You don't even need a tow vehicle if you have a fifth wheel or travel trailer. Not a bad place to be a member if you can live w/the rules and are from the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very overated. We reserved ahead and thought we would find a nice campground up in the trees, were shocked upon what we found. The campground is set up like a trailer court, very small trees, no shade. Wind blows down through the canyon at night blowing things over. More rules then any campground we have ever visited. Very unfriendly place. This is a membership campground and if you are not a member be ready for a long sales pitch. You might as well park in a parking lot and save your money. We will never stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

South East of Rapid City 4-5 miles, with nice clubhouse and convenience store. Large swimming pool with two hot tubs, small restaurant next to pool area. All paved roads and the 10 mph speed limit is enforced, website has lots more info. We camped here in a camper.

The Campground is located on a lake, but for viewing only. You have to drive/walk to the other side of the lake for access. The sites are shady but extremely small and there was little grass on most sites. The laundry facilities were not available for the week we were there and we had to walk a block to a laundramat. The women's bathroom had only one sink working the entire week. The facilities and grounds were clean. The camp store had ice and beverages available, but little else. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Older park. Excellent WIFI. Owner told us he had reached a deal to SELL this fall (2007). Call ahead to make sure they are still open. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very tight spaces. No grass. We happened to come in the middle of Sturgis event. I think we are the only ones without a motorcycle! Good WiFi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I rented by the month at $400. a month. Older park that needs some work on the plumbing and water lines. I stayed 2 months. Great centrally located park, near the city but out far enough to enjoy attractions that are within a 50 mile radius. I enjoyed those parked near and around me. Several campers stayed several months. Either working or just came to visit the area. Site was fairly level. Park is on a slight hill. Sites are close but I was comfortable. Each site had a picnic table. Water is hard water. I would not drink the water. Leaves white spots on clothes and dishes. Some trees for shade in the lower half. I would revisit this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are tight - our rig is 32' and there was barely enough space for the toad. Bigger rigs had to park toads or tow vehicles at park entrance. Sites not completely level, but doable. No grass, some trees. Wi-fi was solid, laundry clean and fast. We parked near the highway, so road noise was noticable. Everybody very friendly. TV is off antenna, and is limited but good reception. Cell phone signals excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites here were terrible, all gravel, too small, not even room for a picnic table, dirty, dusty, when you steeped out of your motorhome, you have to hold on to someone or something or you would fall down the uneven grade. This park needs to close! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is located right off Hwy 16 just outside of Rapid City at the top of a hill. The sites are very narrow, with barely enough room for a picnic table in some spaces. There is good WiFi access here and a view of the valley, but I wouldn't want to stay here for a lengthy visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

During our Yellowstone National Park trip, we arrived pretty late in the evening in Rapid City, South Dakota. After a full day of driving and hiking the family was pretty tired. We had no reservations, no idea what the campground was like. We pulled in and were greeted by some very nice and friendly folks. We pull 29 foot Travel Trailer with a Chevy Suburban and had no problems navigating and pulling into the pull through sites. The kids enjoyed the recreation room, the wife thought the laundry facilities were clean and the restrooms and showers were also clean. We thought the pool was a little worn and showed its age. My family absolutely loved the view of the city from our campsite. Overall, we were pleased with the campground, however, I might have had a different opinion if the campground had been full. The sites were very close together. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a nice park with an excellent view of the city as it was on a hill. All the pull-through sites that we could see where paved and pretty level. The wireless internet access was nice and fairly reliable. They had a pool but when we were there, it was not filled (late spring and it had snowed two weeks before we got there). The laundry facilities were nice as well. There is a little playground for kids. TV reception was excellent off the antenna as the park is about a mile or so from the transmission towers. Plenty of trees as well, but they were spitting sap when we were there. We stayed here in late spring '04. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is very nice and clean. Park also sits on a hill over looking Rapid City. Some road noise off Hwy. 16. WiFi worked well. We would return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was convenient to everything in the Rapid City area. It was just down the street from a good RV repair shop and Bear Country USA. We did go into Keystone and take the 1880 Train Ride to Hill City. Our recommendation is don't do this attraction. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Mystery Mountain was a great RV site. We had a blast! The pool was clean, the bathrooms were excellent, there is a nice hiking trail right in the campground. The host was very knowledgable and seemed to like to give good information on what attractions were worth the money and the ones that were possibly a waste of money. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Exceptionally clean and modern campground. The $24 rate was for off season and we stayed almost 2 weeks. The sites are diverse with lots of pine trees. We shall return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent 5 nights here in the off season and pretty much had the place to ourselves - I think there were 7 or 8 other campers. Anyway, the facilities are very well maintained and almost look new. I commented on that to the owner and he said they were older but that they work on everything during the off season. We loved this place because it is really wooded, unlike a lot of campgrounds in the area. However, it should be noted that the roads through the campground are very narrow and I can't imagine how large rigs make it to the back areas of the park- we were in a pop-up camper and still found it tight. Nonetheless, the densely wooded aspect of this campground is what I like. They have a small store that has a reasonable selection of supplies and there is a full service RV dealership just about a mile away. This place is conveniently located in between Rapid City and Mount Rushmore. They have wireless Internet access but it's really only accessible by driving up to the front office area. There is a small park and mini golf course in the front of the campground. We plan on staying here again in 'season' when there's more to do. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice large campground with diverse types of sites - from relatively secluded tent sites in the back to level, pull-through concrete pads with full hookups up toward the front. Wooded and nice even though it's right off the highway. Pancake breakfasts were cheap and delicious. Staff was flexible and accommodating and allowed us to use an open, alternate site one afternoon while we had emergency repairs performed on our coach. Lots of road within the campground for biking - the kids loved it. Loved the Black Hills area; we would stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We only stayed overnight but it looks like this would be a fun place for families with kids. Pretty, rustic mountain setting. Drawbacks: 1) Access by big rigs, while possible, is pretty tight; 2) If you're in a site near the highway, the noise is very bad most all night long. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Free pancakes in AM. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access sites are near the road. The rest of the campground is under beautiful tall pine trees. The sites are decent size. The campground is on the side of a mountain and the roads are dirt so they weren't the easiest to drive on. Unless you have a truck or 4 wheel drive, stick to the sites near the front. The pool and hot tub were nice, camp store very reasonable. Campground very quiet at night even though it's on Mt. Rushmore Highway. Good pancake breakfasts. We camped here in a camper.
