Rafter J Bar Ranch has the nicest campground I've ever stayed at in my whole life. I love the open space, the beautiful surroundings, the proximity to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and many other attractions. At Rafter J, your RV spot doesn't have you crammed in with everyone else...you get lots of personal space. Give them a whirl if you have a chance, but reserve early as they are super popular as more people have found out about how great this place is. Happy Camping!! -Brad M

What an amazing campsite! Located near everything worth seeing yet far enough off the roadway to feel private. Fantastic pool and hot tub, too! We rented a comfort cabin, which was even nicer than the website made it look. It was roomy and airy, with a bathroom and shower, small fridge, sink, and breakfast nook. The porch outside had a lovely view and cooking grill, but we brought our own and there was plenty of room for setup. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I've read multiple reviews of this place being one of the top ten campgrounds in the country, and this place absolutely deserves it's reputation. You'll need to reserve early, their reservations open in November, and from what I hear they mostly fill up for the season within a couple of days. Check-in was easy, facilities were very nice. Pool is awesome. Sites are very spacious, you have plenty of room between you and your neighbors. I was struck by the amount of green space here... they could easily triple or quadruple the number of campsites. Our view from the front of our campsite was acres of green grass and the mountains. We loved staying in the Lower Ranch Camp area, although really any of their areas are super nice. It's about a ten minute drive to Crazy Horse and about 20 minute windy road to Mt. Rushmore. Custer State Park is equally close and is amazing. We'll be back and will plan to stay longer next time. RV Atlas podcast has a great description of this place that fits it to a T, it is well worth a listen.
