Loved the commons areas with the fire pit, outdoor seating, tap room. Laundry and bathroom facilities were very nice. Owners were very welcoming.

Black Elk Resort

Paradise in the Black Hills

This spot is fantastic & we will be return customers - gorgeous views, well-kept property, great RV site (not private), spacious & very clean washrooms with showers, laundry, a lovely pavilion with comfy furniture, games & bbq’s for use by all guests, & a community fire pit lit nightly where you meet lots of other travellers, & of course their tasty taproom offering some great drinks & yummy pizza (where you meet more great folks). The owners, Justin & Ashley (& their adorable boys), & the property caretakers are personable & caring, making sure you have everything you need. You can hike right from the property. This resort is easy to get to, sits right on Hwy 16, a little road noise during the day but quiets right down by evening. If you’re here during Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, expect more road rumble. The resort offers a house, cabins & rooms too, so it’s a great place to meet up with friends who can stay in their own digs if needed. The location in the Black Hills is fantastic, easy drive to Hill City for restaurants & groceries. The area offers stunning roads (fantastic motorcycling) & is centrally located to easily get to Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Keystone, Badlands, Needles Highway, Rapid City, Sturgis, Spearfish Canyon, Deadwood, Lead & much more! We’re already planning our return & highly highly recommend! (we considered that by leaving a great review may make it harder for us to get in next time!)

A beautiful campground! The grounds were very well kept. Most campers were large and self contained, but mine is not so the facilities were a nice added bonus. They were also very clean. The community area is super cute!

Awesome Cozy Resort.

Hello to all. Black Elk Resort is an awesome establishment and the owner Justin is as nice a cordial as can be. Very clean upkeep is superb. Close to a lot of tourists attractions including Mount Rushmore Crazy Horse and others. Cool little Tap Room to have an after travels cocktail.

Great stop

Super clean, well-maintained site. Even a pet area with can. Easy check-in. Met our hosts and family in the brewery - really nice people. Park is right on highway but noise wasn’t bad at night (we visited in off season). Great view of black elk peak.
