The Longhorn Ranch Lodge & RV Resort

46 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites, 5 Lodges

The Longhorn Ranch Lodge & RV Resort in Dubois, WY, offers 46 full-hookup RV sites, 5 lodge rooms, and 7 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet. Sites cover back-ins, pull-throughs, pull-in/back-out spots, dedicated big rig sites, river-front sites, and dry RV sites for guests who don't need hookups. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. At 100 feet of maximum length, this is one of the few parks in the region that can take the largest coaches without negotiation. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a general store handle the essentials, and horse pens are available for guests traveling with stock. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A hot tub and sauna, bike rentals, creek frontage, and picnicking fill out the on-site recreation, and the river-front sites are the ones worth asking for. Dubois sits at the eastern approach to Togwotee Pass on US 26/287, between the Absaroka Range and the painted badlands, on the road toward Grand Teton National Park. Rates for RV sites, lodge rooms, and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer is short and busy here — reserve river-front and big rig sites early.

Beaver Lake Campground

75 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Beaver Lake Campground in Custer, South Dakota, offers 68 RV sites, nine cabins, and six tent sites at 5,300 feet in the Black Hills, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric categories at both amperages join back-in and pull-through tiers, with a water park, outdoor pool, and recreation center. Sixty-eight sites span back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, back-in full-hookup 30-amp, back-in full-hookup 50-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp, and pull-thru full-hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking — the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Nine cabins and six tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Registered guests are responsible for the conduct of everyone at their site. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a recreation center, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. The elevation delivers reliably cool summer temperatures when the plains swelter, and Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, and the Needles Highway are all within easy striking distance of camp. Julian and Kachina Starr own and operate it. Summer is the short, intense season in the Black Hills, with the Sturgis rally week tightening the whole region. Reserve well ahead.

Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort & Cabins

100 RV Sites

Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort and Cabins in Spearfish, South Dakota, offers 100 full-hookup RV sites on the historic Frawley Ranch, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 140 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, hot tub, disc golf course, and tennis at the northern gateway to the Black Hills. One hundred sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 140 feet. One hundred forty feet is among the most generous length allowances anywhere and accommodates anything on the road — worth knowing if you tow a trailer behind a long coach. The paved, level pads back up the resort's reputation. A general store, laundry, propane fills, showers, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a disc golf course, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, golf cart rentals, walking trails, biking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season, and a golf course is nearby. The Frawley Ranch carries more than 140 years of pioneering heritage and National Historic Registry status, which gives the grounds a genuine western character that most resorts manufacture. Spearfish Canyon, Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, and Devils Tower are all within reach. Summer is the short, intense Black Hills season, and the Sturgis rally fills the entire region. Reserve as early as you can for August.

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort

18 RV Sites, 8 Cabins

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort in Hot Springs, South Dakota, offers 18 RV sites and eight cabins on a private lake in the Black Hills' southern tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Boat, kayak, and bike rentals sit on a property offering a more intimate alternative to the Hills' larger commercial campgrounds. Eighteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eight cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. The private lake anchors the experience. Boat rentals, kayak rentals, and paddle boats put guests on the water, with fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding from the shoreline. Bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, and planned activities fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding across the property. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Fall River County where the Black Hills give way to the high plains. Wind Cave National Park preserves the transition zone's grassland and underground cave ecology just north, with a state park nearby and the full Black Hills circuit within reach — but far enough from the core tourism corridor that the campground stays quiet. Summer is peak across the Black Hills, and the August Sturgis rally tightens availability regionally. With 18 sites and a private lake, reserve well ahead for July and August.

Sturgis View Campground

Sturgis View Campground offers full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric, plus cabins, on a hillside 1.5 miles from Sturgis's Main Street, with 360-degree views of the Black Hills. An outdoor pool, hot tub, bar, and on-site dining have served motorcycle rally attendees since 2004. Full-hookup back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side, with on-site dining and a bar for evenings. The property also serves as a wedding venue and includes a barn. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the property, with walking trails, hiking, picnicking, and swimming from the grounds and stargazing across the open Hills sky. Planned activities run through the season. Wine tasting is nearby. Pets are welcome. The hillside position is the whole idea. Elevated and set back just enough to catch a breeze and some perspective, the campground puts riders close to the rally without being swallowed by it — which is why it has held a loyal following since 2004. Downtown Sturgis is 1.5 miles away, with Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, Badlands National Park, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Bear Butte State Park all within day-trip range. The August Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is the defining event and books out far in advance at premium rates — if your stay falls anywhere near rally week, reserve as early as you possibly can. The rest of the Black Hills summer runs busy on park traffic.

Rushmore Shadows Resort

14 RV Sites

Rushmore Shadows Resort in Rapid City, SD, offers 19 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet.

Cabins are available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park.

Rapid City sits in Pennington County at the edge of the Black Hills, with Mount Rushmore, Reptile Gardens, Bear Country USA, and a state park all within a short drive — about as concentrated a run of attractions as the region offers. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The Black Hills summer season, especially rally week, books far in advance.

Black Hills Station

36 RV Sites

Black Hills Station in Piedmont, South Dakota, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites just off Interstate 90 between Rapid City and Sturgis, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, open all year. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, and cabins sit at the entry point to the Black Hills. Thirty-six sites run in 30-amp back-in, standard back-in, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Cabins serve guests without a rig. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side, and the campground stays open year-round. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with inflatable water toys, a clubhouse, billiards, corn hole, and walking trails filling the grounds. Off-roading and a casino are nearby. The amenity set is practical rather than elaborate, which suits a property where guests spend their days out. The position is the real asset. From this single address, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Badlands National Park, Spearfish Canyon, and Deadwood are all reachable as day trips — a lineup that would otherwise constitute a full two-week South Dakota itinerary with multiple relocations. Summer is peak across the Black Hills. The August Sturgis rally is the sharpest constraint, given the park sits directly between Rapid City and Sturgis — if your stay falls anywhere near rally week, reserve as early as possible and expect premium rates.

The gazebo and patio categories are worth requesting — they add genuine outdoor living space. Twenty cabins, houses, and lodges and 11 glamping sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Two policies: only golf carts rented from the resort are permitted on the property, and quiet hours begin at 11pm.

Stargazing and birding are strong under the pines. Pets are welcome.

Every site is a full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. Check the 25-foot maximum carefully before booking — this is a small-rig property, and vans, truck campers, and short trailers are what fit. With 53 cabins alongside, the village works well for a group where only some are towing. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, firewood, a recreation center, and a community fire pit cover the rest. Your card charge will appear as FSP*Jackson Hole Outdoor.
