We stayed here for 5 nights in the Ranch Camp area in a tent this past June. This area is shaded and pretty and seems like a real campground...not like a KOA. The sites are well spaced, the restrooms/showers were clean. Ranch Camp is furthest from the store and pool, but with bikes you can get down there in a jif. The location is just outside of Hill City and it is close to everything you would want to do in the Black Hills. The Mickelson Trail is right on the property so if you're a biker or a runner, this a great place to take advantage of that beautiful trail. You have water, electricity and a fire pit, but still feel like your roughing it because of the beautiful surroundings. The rest of the property wasn't as shaded and pretty as Ranch Camp was and there were some areas that did seem like a KOA, but some people like that. They had campsites, RV sites, and cabins. My kids swam in the pool almost every day and other than it being cold (it was the earlier part of June) they enjoyed the pool area. The food available at the store was just basic and kind of expensive, but Hill City is not far away. Overall, I really liked it and would suggest it to people visiting the Black Hills.
Room Tip: If you like more of a true camping experience choose Ranch Camp. If you don't mind the more KOA...
