Not quite what we expected after seeing the pictures on Campedium from 2016 and 2017 and Google - we were pleasantly surprised! Kathy and her husband have put so much into this campground and it shows! The sites are very spacious, level gravel sites with grass and concrete pads for your picnic table (there are 5 new sites out front they just created and are working on getting the grass to grow). We noticed that once a RV leaves, they drive a tractor with a chain over the gravel to ensure it's level before the next one comes. The laundry room has 3 washers and 3 dryers and is very clean. The restrooms were closed but that's because they are under construction to improve them. You can hear the road noise but it really isn't bad. Also, it is a great central point for all this area has to offer, Custer SP, Iron Mountain Road, Needles Hwy, Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Deadwood, etc. Additionally, there is a restaurant next door you can walk to that has delicious food. We will definitely come back!

Very neat, level, and clean site. The added bonus is a slab with table, grass, and clean gravel(no mud). It is obvious that the owners stay on top of the park. Price is very reasonable also.

Clean bathrooms, lots of hot water, and laundry is available. Good steakhouse right next door. Made for a good evening.

We found this little park after finding that our reservation at another park was in a cramped, muddy hole with where the water was not working at the sites. We were VERY pleased with the care that has been taken to set up the sites so that they are spacious and level with gravel for RV parking and plenty of room to park our tow vehicle. Each site has a concrete pad with picnic table and a grassy area with a tree. The new owners live on site and are RV'ers themselves. The park was quiet, relaxing and comfortable. The facilities were clean and in good repair. The location is perfect for whatever you want to do in the Black Hills and much closer to the attractions than parks closer to Rapid City. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to this area.

The main reason we stayed here was because we knew we got 4G signal to work during the night online.

We decided to come to Southern Hills on short notice because we cut our time short in the Badlands. While it would have been amazing to stay within the borders of Custer State Park, that wasn't possible due to the short notice. Our rate of $18.50 was due to Passport America -- such a steal! The sites are nice, super level pull throughs and the campground as a whole is very nice. The laundry and restroom facilities are clean. Besides being near Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse are nearby. Rapid City is 20-25 minutes away, which is where you should go to get groceries as the grocery store in Hermosa is small and a lot of the food is outdated. The location also worked great for us to pick our mail up in Box Elder. Cell service with AT&T and Verizon is good.

Every where you looked it was nice and clean.
In front of the RV park a nice restaurant (not belonging to the RV park) with good food.
Park is close to Black Hills and Badlands.

New super-friendly park owners! Gravel sites are spacious and level. They have clean bath houses, hot showers, reasonable prices and are very close to the Black Hills. Jerry and Kathy are continually making improvements. We stayed 5 days and loved it. Highly recommended

We spent two nights here after boondocking to refresh, recharge, and do laundry before heading out to boondock again. $16/night for Passport America members and full hookups, so we figured we couldn't go wrong considering that dry camping in Custer State Park would be $28 a night.
Cleanest bathrooms I have EVER seen at a campground or RV Park, which was amazing. I'd come back here just for the bathrooms. Coin-op laundry on site as well. Great location: half hour to Mt. Rushmore, half hour to Custer State Park, 1 hour to downtown Custer/Crazy Horse but the drive takes you though Custer State Park, so it's a lovely 1 hour.
Spots are graveled. Ours was not level, but most were. Nothing a few lego blocks couldn't fix. Space was nice in between spots, you weren't breathing down your neighbor's neck. However, no grills/fire pits - no campfires were allowed period, so I wouldn't recommend this place if you're seeking a camping experience. However, if you're just looking for a place to park while you explore the area, look no further.
Great AT&T and Verizon signal. Park is right off a main road, so there is some road noise but nothing that bothered us when we were inside the camper. A few RVs here had ATVs and there was a dirt trail at the back-end of the park, so I'm guessing there are trails around. Drive-in movie theater and Flying J right next door.
The owners are putting a lot of work into this RV park, and it shows. Everything was spotless, the landscapers were hard at work while we were there, and the camp hosts were very friendly.

The Badlands and the Black Hills
I usually do a separate post for each destination we’ve traveled to, but I felt that Badlands National Park area, Custer State Park area, and Devils Tower area could all be combined into one post...
