HTR Black Hills

I t was convenient for visiting 

My. Rushmore and Custer State Park. I would not classify it as a true resort as they advertise. Only a few amenities. But everyone has different meanings of “resort”.  It was relatively quiet. I liked no street lamps thus very dark at night for sleeping. We would stop by again just to use as jumping off place to visit sights. 

Wish they would have propane as there were no close places to fill.

From the start, this was a bad decision. Even though we advised them of the size of our RV, 44' and 20k lbs, they put us in a back in space that was on a steep hill with loose gravel. It did not work. This was a $68/night spot. Next, they recommended a pull-through spot for $125/night. For 3 nights we did not feel they had anything to justify the price. The reason for the exorbitant price is because "it was furtherest from the highway". So they "found" another pull-through for only $78/night that would handle our rig and truck. They let us look at the site but took us to the site next to the one they were offering, which was mostly flat. Our site had one-third of the site was also on a hill. So the back 1/3 of our RV was 5' off the ground. We could not use our outdoor kitchen without a ladder. We did not use it. Fortunately, we were not in camp much during our 3-night stay. This may be an ok spot for those looking for a city life experience with RVs stacked on top of one another. That is not why we travel in an RV. HTR is trying to be another KOA, according to the staff. We do NOT stay at KOAs either. We are not coming back to this campground.

Beautiful campground, friendly staff. I was able to snag a last minute weekend spot in row A for a big rig! Downside of this section is proximity to road (was informed on phone so expected), and very tight spaces. We were not able to have a fire because of how close we were to neighbors! However, the rest of campground is simply gorgeous, wooded, good amenities.
