Rafter J Bar Ranch

"Great place to stop with an RV. The scenery around our campsite was beautiful and there was plenty of space between campsites. Oh, and the bathrooms are super clean."

"We have stayed at Rafter J for years and LOVE this campground! However, the last 3 years we have had to book with other campgrounds because they are impossible to get ahold of on the phone, and their voice mail box is full! I happened to get a live person on 1.2.24 and he told me that I had to book online via the online reservations booking system starting at 8:00am on 1.3.24 it would be available and working. IT STILL SAYS UNAVAILABLE, AND THE VOICE MESSAGE IS FROM 2022... I am super sad, but think I am done trying to book with Rafter J, not that it will really matter but hopefully someone will care."

"We inadvertently stayed here after a planned reservation at another near by campground fell through. We had no reservation and the kind security guard, Terry worked with us to help get us settled in at 9:30 at night. We woke up and were surrounded by a beautiful area. Great onsite staff. Highly recommend. Full hookup was available. Biking trail connector as well. Loved it."

"This is a luxury RV Park: beautiful manicured lawns, drives and RV sites. The sites are spread out and we requested a more private site because we have our 2 dogs. There is no bits of garbage on the ground, everything here is perfect. My husband said that the bathroom was a little small but very clean. This facility has every amenity from a beautiful swimming pool, a store, .. there is a very positive feeling here, celebratory, happy. I'm happy to have spent 2 nights. We had water and electricity. Every site has a really nice fire ring with grill, picnic table, ..."

"We stayed here and loved it. Property is beautifully. We had an amazing view of the mountains. The grounds are maintained . Our site was mostly level but we were in a slant. I wish the table and chairs weren’t above us so that we would have been under our awning. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Centrally located for Mount Rushmore, Crazy horse, Needles Highway and wildlife loop. Short ride to Custer downtown and Hill city downtown . Easy ride to Rapid City. We would stay here again."
