We absolutely loved this resort except for the bathrooms. This resort really should have a 5 -star review, however, the bathrooms were bad. Pretty much the entire 5 weeks we were there. We stayed in campsite 315 from Labor Day 2022 to mid-October. The concrete and paved park makes a difference with less dirt / dust. Tons of really large rigs with tow vehicles had no problems getting in and out and around. The staff was fantastic and accommodating, the pool was beautiful, the location is really great as far as being close to Spearfish for groceries, etc, and close to Deadwood and Black Hills. We had a great time here. Deliveries are accepted. The park is quiet and daily we walked the resort and used the little walking path. We did laundry 2-3 / week and that area was clean. When inquiring about what the deal was with the constant dirty bathrooms the response was simply "short staffed". That was too bad as the rest of it was so great. We have a pep-wave router (we work full time from our rig) and internet was never an issue. Hopefully the bathrooms improve as they are able to hire more employees.

Beautiful park with great views of the black hills. This park is huge and is well maintained. We had a back in site and it fit our 33ft 5th wheel and truck with room to spare. The pool was really nice and it had 2 small hotubs. We wanted to extend our stay but were unable to due to a festival going on in the area. They had 2 shower houses each with laundry rooms attached. Laundry was expensive $3 to wash and $3 to dry, but the rest of the park is amazing. They have a very large dog park and a walking trail. We had plenty of access to the north sky and were able to use our starlink. We will be back

Nothing more needs to be said……..

Stayed here for 3 nights back in June 2021 and stayed again for 2 nights in July 2022. Close to deadwood. Campground is huge. Big rig friendly for sure. Great pool, dog park, basketball and tennis courts. Laundry facility is also nice. Decent playground. We have stayed in a pull thru and back in site and both times had plenty of room.

Arrival was easy. Since it was off-season, self-checkin was in effect and they provided that information in the confirmation and follow-up emails. Rate noted reflects off-season pricing. Site was nice and level, concrete pad, 50A / 30A / 20A power, 3 different sewer ports which made it easy to hookup. Water spigots in the pull-through spots are above ground, not insulated or heated, so they froze overnight (to be fair they warned people about this in the welcome packet and advised to fill up your rig's fresh water tank as a backup). Pretty quite, although right off of highway 85 between I-90 and Deadwood. Again, this was the off-season so the traffic was nominal, but once the weather gets better you'd likely hear motorcycles all day and night as this is near Sturgis and Deadwood, both big time biker destinations. Park was clean and tidy. Pretty good space between sites with grass and a picnic table. There were a number of longer term residents here, all in nice 5th wheel rigs, but clearly were workers not hobos. Would recommend and definitely stay here again.

This is a first class facility. Sites we’re concrete and we’ll spaced. Large pool, camp store and large laundry facility. We would definitely stay again and spend more time,

The park was easy to get to though our RV GPS wanted to take us up to I-90 and back around versus just taking a left across US-85 into the campground (CG). Check in was easy and informative. We paid a $44 per night off season rate with Good Sam discount but that does not include the multiple taxes charged. We then proceeded to pull through site 310 with FHUs. The staff put us out in an area pretty much by ourselves with our traveling partner. We used their cable (good variety of channels). We did not upgrade from their free WiFi (about average but the park was not very full) and got 3 bars on Verizon. Water pressure was very good in our area so we used a reducer. They do have a fenced pet area with an entrance fenced area then separate areas for small and large dogs. There are also walking trails. This large CG with separate cabin and tent areas was well maintained and clean. There was also laundry available in the shower houses. The staff is very responsive. We had a question concerning our bill and it was quickly resolved. Nice actual resort campground.

If I could give 10 stars I would! If you want to see a great layout this is the park to model. Everything is top class. Every site is pavement and cement with full hookups. Easy location. Very friendly for big rigs, we are 63’ with our tow trailer and maneuvered beautifully throughout the park. Very sanitary, clean, trimmed and lots of art along the drives. Golf course, cabins, tennis courts, basketball and more.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE: Go on the Chuckhouse Dinner and Feed the Bison tours. These are both managed by the Frawley Ranch and you can immediately see the difference between good service and what I will discuss below. When I hear the word 'Resort' used in a Hotel or other Hospitality property, I think All-Inclusive or High End. Granted, the grounds at Elkhorn Ridge are impeccable. Everything was clean, the landscaping was beautiful, and for the most part, the overall feel is 'well taken care of'. But, in my opinion, this is where it ends at Elkhorn. It is all superficial. In my opinion, this campground draws you in to make reservations, but once you are here, the experience takes a turn. There are THREE laundry buildings, with two washers and 2 dryers in each. Certainly not enough for the 500+ sites. There is no on-premise restaurant which I would expect also from a Resort. You hardly see a single employee. And when you do find them in the front office, they blatantly put more time into making reservations than talking to the line of current guests standing before them. The worst situation is Wi-Fi. They offer FREE Internet for basic email and web surfing. They then offer 4 Pay-For service levels which primarily talk about the number of devices you can add to your 2 free devices. They also boast Streaming services on the Pay-For services. We did not need to pay for our service because of how our TT is set up, but I spoke with many other guests who said that the Pay-For Internet was just as bad. They were just able to experience it on more devices. The few times I tried to connect, I could not check email or surf at all. For those technically minded, Ping Rates were in the 3000-4000ms if there was a reply at all. And, as noted on the forms handed to you at check-in, if you do have a problem with their Internet, you have three options. 1, Check your device. 2. Check your other devices. 3. Reboot your devices. There is no suggestion that their network is horrible or underpowered or who to complain to. Other points of frustration were, the noise from the road, We were in site 336. The pool facilities had two spas that looked more like half-filled Petri dishes than an inviting experience.

This is our second time to stay here. Clean spacious paved sites with full hook ups. Lots of amenities and close to nearby attractions. We came after hours and without a reservation and had no issues getting a site.

Elkhorn Ridge is a great RV resort; and yes, I’d call it a resort. Concert pads, paved streets, high quality pool area and very nice office. Sites we’re good size with well maintained grass. Had plenty of room! Laundry and showers were very clean. Lots of larger rigs and friendly neighbors. Only negative was highway noise which was less at night. We’ll be back!

The only cons are it is big so if you have kids it is a hike to the playground if you don’t have i site near the playground and pool! Also the store doesn’t carry much in the way of staple food items or RV gear in case you are low on those! Otherwise it is beautiful and practically perfect!! I have 4 kids do a nice playground is a must! Beautiful statues throughout the grounds as well!

Very nice, very family friendly. Nice location, nice amenities, nice staff. Only complaint was the slow wi-if (you can lay to upgrade for streaming) and expensive laundry ($2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry). We had a great stay.

We have stayed here several times. It is beautiful, clean and well run. The sites are huge and widely spaced. There were three sewer hookups to choose from at our site. The long views of the Black Hills are beautiful. It is just a bit off the interstate which helps with road noise and the Spearfish location is perfect for exploring the Black Hills: you avoid all the tourist traps but can enjoy close access to hiking and beautiful scenic drives.

Within hour of Rushmore and minutes of mountain drive and hiking. Off season rate. Must be self contained during off season. Great WiFi and cable.
