We were here for 19 days. We had a nice time here. The work campers are all so nice, They keep busy everyday! We felt that the food was great and so convenient. We had breakfast here many mornings and pizza and wings a few times. The live bands were a nice touch! I ended up having a terrible stomach pain, back pain and went to the ER in Rapid City 6 days after we arrived, ended up having my gallbladder removed at Monument Hospital. Heartland was a nice safe quiet place for me to recover. We have a 5th wheel, 40 foot and we fit perfectly in our pull thru. Road noise was there, however, they cannot control that. Rapid City is a quick drive, lots of shopping and dining available. We were able to go to Needles Highway, the wildlife loop and Iron Mountain Road before I got sick. After my surgery (6 days later) we were able to drive to Keystone and Hill City. Both fun little towns. Hermosa is very close. Has a nice chicken restaurant next to a nice antique / gift shop and has a drive in theater. We were not able to enjoy the theater tho. This campground is at a great location for a base camp! We would stay here again.
We absolutely loved staying here! We only staid one night because of the high heat temp 100 degrees. We could have staid longer, but …. we decided to keep on going. There are some down, up, down, up hills as you are coming into the boon docking area. Don't let that stop you, however, be prepared. Go slow. Nothing will ever match this experience. We heard coyotes, saw an awesome sunset and enjoyed peace and quiet. Wind was of no concern. We appreciated the wind! Easy drive to the Badlands and Wall. We will never forget this epic day, night and sunrise.
We had a wonderful stay here. My husband had never seen Chimney Rock, and I had never seen Chimney Rock lit up at night. All I have to say is Wow! Mosquitoes are hungry here! Be prepared for that. The owner and his wife are so nice, ice cream is great! Quick drive to see Chimney Rock closer and a few trails to hike if you like. Visitors Center is 2 min away. We got groceries in Bridgeport. Nice town with a big gas station with diesel and def. We would stay here again. 41 foot Fifth Wheel. Plenty of room for our rig, pull thru which my husband likes.
