Seems like the place to be in the middle of July. Much better than the campgrounds lower down the mountains. Temps were in the 70's during the day and the 50's at night. Rafter J, being higher up in the mountains, was quite comfortable during our stay. In 2006 we were there during the Sturgis event and the weather was hot. We are going to head back out west later in the summer and will be staying there again. It is not that far a walk to the office/pool area. Our Raptor 3612 fit fine in our spot and the scenery was great. We stayed at the Lower Ranch Camp area in 2006. "> THE KEY TO HAPPINESS IS A BAD MEMORY!!! "> Call me during the week or I'll call you and we can compare plans! We will need to get in touch and see where we match up. Not staying where you are staying, however. You didn't mention yours!!! As you will read when you open the note, we will be in SOUTH DAKOTA in middle of July also!!! How neat is that?! OMG Sue! I just finished answering your PM asking about our summer plans. I am thinking we will try Rafter J-Bar this trip. We are just trying to find a timeframe that works for everyone then I will make reservations. We are looking at end of June/first part of July. Good luck with your choice and have a great trip.when are you going? She said it is most scenic, which is what they say about all the areas I'm sure. and good for big rigs.Also you looked at the meadow in one direction, which she said often has deer come out at dusk, and in the other direction the mountains.
we told them we needed 50 amp.,and my BIL has satellite.so they gave us the lower ranch camp.she told us there were trees toward the back half of site but should be fine for sat. Memories Of My Beloved DW & Traveling Companion for 51 yrs Arlyce NB9QĪnd of Pookie Sue, Our Shih Tzu, Companion. My Shih Tzu traveling companions Jack and Diane The DW grew up in Lead and for a couple of years, Central City when it was a ghost town. Not our cup of tea and we miss the old Deadwood with its cute shops, and the times when the big attractions were Mt Moriah and the daily 'Trial of Jack McCall' play. Our view of the Hills as a vacation spot has changed over the years as some of our favorite activities in and around Deadwood have become overshadowed or even drowned out by the gambling that now dominates everything there. Although we have not visited the area in several years, we continue to read good reviews of that CG on the net. And it is well centered in the Black Hills to use as a base. I'm sure they have lots more to offer now. We first stayed there over 35 years ago when our children were quite young. The Rafter J-Bar has a long history of excelent facilities and lots of activities. I noticed on their website they have a Ranch Camp, Lower Ranch Camp, Island, etc.Ģ003 Monaco Dynasty/ 26' Haulmark Edge trailer Also the Rafter J-Bar is divided into different sections, which section is the better to stay in with larger rigs and/or multiple rigs traveling together. Has anyone stayed at both the Hill City KOA and Rafter J-Bar and which do you prefer. We have heard many good things about Rafter J-Bar and I am considering staying there instead. Rushmore this summer as well and we usually stay at the Hill City KOA. Rafter J Bar remains one of our favorite CGs in the country! Be aware that some of the sites in LRC have an upslope to the level part of the site, so you'll be backing up a slight grade with the trailer. A little shade, and level for that length trailer. Not sure of the exact sites, but we were in Lower Ranch Camp some years ago with our PUP, and the sites there were perfect for that kind of rig. Centrally located with lot of amenities.Ģ014 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8312SS It is close to a lot of things to see and do. I have stayed at the Rafter J-Bar Ranch park some years back and found it to be a great camp and a good central location to tour the area from. Yep, actually drove to all of these places-in the last eight years.
We have reserved sites 175/176 in the Lower Ranch Camp. We are traveling to SD this summer, and will be staying at the Rafter J-Bar. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Rafter J-Bar Ranch Rv park, SD Open Roads Forum
