Appeal Rating Recently changed ownership and its name to American Buffalo RV Park. The new owners are very friendly and really working hard to make this park really nice. The only negative about the park was that we were there at the peak of the pine tree pollen. Everything, and I mean everything, was yellow every morning. Worse than our oak tree pollen at home. Park is conveniently located to Rapid City and all the area attractions. Custer State Park and Needles Highway are a "must do". We would definitely stay there again!
Those with large motorhomes and trailers might want to look elsewhere. This park is on a hill and the roads are a little tight with lots of ups and downs. Of course, this is part of it's charm.

Appeal Rating Used this location as a base camp for touring. Did the Black Hills one day ( Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave, Crazy Horse, and Deadwood) and the Badlands, Minuteman Missile Historic Sites, Wall Drug and the South Dakota Air & Space Museum the next day. Easy trips from this location. Still had time to get the $2 all you can eat pancake breakfast and enjoy the pool. Quiet site and great staff! We will be back!

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating We really liked this resort. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a huge pull thru campsite (actually 2 sites, but we were assigned both as were other campers - could be different if the park was full). The restrooms are well maintained. The highway is a little noisy until midnight, but more quiet from midnight to 6 AM. Very convenient to all the tourist attractions, but away from the crowds that go along with them.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating We had called ahead of time and asked if there were fire rings when we got there we were on a site that had no ring they said oh no fires on this one sorry. When we pulled in they gave us a map suppose to turn at shower house but it's not labeled we had to ask for help they should of led us to the site. There was very little water presure and no hot water at all. Will not be back but I'm sure they could make it better.

Restroom Rating Appeal Rating We very much enjoyed our stay. The facility was very clean with friendly staff. Lots of trees and shade. Bathrooms older but clean and nice. The only negative is the road noise. The facility is right off Hwy 16 on a hill and you can hear all of the traffic on this very busy hwy. However we would stay here again.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Very enjoyable stay. Had a pull through space back in the pines. No highway noise. Very convenient to all the area attractions. Nice area to walk our dog. Everyone we talked to praised the park. Driving to the parking space roads seemed to be narrow, but actually had plenty of room through those trees, Make sure park just short of office when checking in. This will ensure you don't have to back up to reach access roads. Especially important if pulling a toad.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating A beautiful place to stay! The property has huge Lodgepole pines on a rolling landscape that can accommodate any size motorhome, or trailer. Great employees and accommodations. Close to Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument and Custer State Park .There are tons of other things to see and do in the immediate area.
