Hart Ranch RV Resort

Reservations are available at Hart Ranch RV Resort, a large private resort on the outskirts of Rapid City that accepts both members and non-members. Sites feature concrete pads with full hookups including 50-amp and 30-amp electric, water, and sewer, and the paved internal roads are wide enough to accommodate rigs up to 50 feet. A convenience store and gas station sit on the property, which means campers can handle basic resupply without leaving the grounds.

The activity list here is extensive. Reviewers consistently mention the pool, hot tubs, tennis, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard, mini golf, and a rental program for bikes and golf carts. A restaurant operates on-site, and during peak summer weeks, a weekly rodeo runs on the property. The resort sits on an actual working ranch, and deer and rabbits are a common sight around the campsites. Campfires are not permitted, though some campers bring propane fire pits.

The resort separates pet and non-pet areas, with a large dog park and a walking trail around the perimeter for leashed dogs. The pool and some seasonal amenities close in mid-September even when temperatures remain warm, so timing matters for campers who want full access. One recent reviewer noted the place is "not perfect but okay for a stay," suggesting some ongoing changes. Hart Ranch is well-suited to families with RVs who want a structured, activity-heavy base for exploring the Black Hills region, and those browsing campsites near Rapid City will find it among the more full-featured options in the area. Nearby alternatives include Happy Holiday Camp Ground and Black Hills Tiny Resort for campers wanting something smaller in scale.

It is a RV Resort

This place has everything, gas station, golf course, roaming security, paved roads, concrete pads, pet and non pet areas, 10mins to town if you need to, and more. Their rules say $50 fine for speeding which is ok cause there is alot of people walking. Met a nice couple who stays there often, if it was closer to home for me I would too. I should give it 5 stars but I grade tuff.

Amazing campground

Wide roads and campsite with plenty of grassy areas in between. It’s got all the amenities and is situated in an actual ranch. The ranch also has a golf course and houses. There is also a school on the premises and it was quite delightful to see teenagers in tennis classes playing in the middle of the resort. There is a nice looking playground and a big pool but it was already closed for the fall/winter months even though it was in the 80s-90s. Nice big grassy dog parks and a trail all around the campground you can walk them on leash. It a membership campground but you don’t have to be a member to camp here. It’s a pretty amazing place! We are here mid September. They are open all year long.

Great RPI Resort campground

If you have an RPI membership, this place is a no-brainer. It’s a huge and well maintained RV resort with tons of family friendly amenities. Onsite restaurant and convenience store with gas station. Large pool with hot tubs. Tennis, basketball, pickleball, and shuffleboard courts. Mini golf and an activity center that will loan you a variety of sports gear and well as rent bikes and golf carts. A massive dog park. Our kids also attended a 2 day horse camp onsite which was very fun for them and very reasonably priced. The list of activities is endless. Tons of kids biking around and playing, so easy for kids to make friends. They also have cabin rentals and a few tent sites. There’s a weekly rodeo held onsite during peak season. It’s 15 minutes from Rapid City and close to the Black Hills. If you are looking for a base camp to explore this area, Hart Ranch is a great choice.

Family friendly, endless activities, pet friendly

Even if you aren’t a member, you can stay at this member-owned resort. The grounds are beautifully maintained, multiple pet areas for excercising your fur babies, plenty of activities for kids and adults, a great restaurant on property, and fantastic staff members and workampers!! They have a rodeo one night a week for several weeks each summer. There is a convenience store and gas station on property. There are 50-amp and 30-amp full hook-up sites. Great swimming pool, tennis and pickle ball, miniature golf, bikes, golf carts, the list goes on! Oh, and the wildlife...rabbits and deer everywhere! Close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Badlands National Park, and more! I fell in love with this resort right from the start!
