I would recommend the Hart Ranch. Been there a couple times and it is a nice park.

Bruce,
If you're eligible to use military FamCamps, I can recommend the one at Ellsworth AFB.
While we were there we took the tour at Fort Hays. We really enjoyed the tour and I didn't have to do the driving. ?
They hit all the sites. We took the tour that includes the two meals and evening entertainment. Really enjoyed it.

Heard that today. The news media is talking like it's a done deal and every base on the list is going to close tomorrow. :
After 20 years in the military I know that what comes out on the first list is never what is on the list when the President signs the final bill.Alaskansnowbirds said:Bruce,

I was thinking about Ellsworth but thought it might be a little too far from the center of thwe Black Hills/Badlands area. What do you think?
(Got to use the FamCamp befrore the base closes. :-\

Last year while in Rapid City to get my Driver's license we stayed at Hart Ranch and took their tour for a reduced rate. We broke one of their many rules by parking with our MH hanging out over their grass too far and were made aware of this by a knock on the door.
The park was beautiful. We visited Ellsworth and the highlight was to tour a missile site. It had been a training site. Having attended elementary school in the 50's and dropped , ducked and covered for the "bomb" scares it was interesting to see why .
We also stayed in Custer State park and loved it.
Have a nice trip.

Bruce,
EAFB is about 35 miles from Mount Rushmore. As I said, we took the tour with Fort Hays. Fort Hays is about 15 miles from EAFB so I didn't drive to any of the attractions. I guess only you can decided how far is too far.

Betty,
Do you remember which campground in Custer SP you stayed at?
Bruce,
I just knew you would ask.? One thing about full timing is you just don't have the room to keep the flyers from camp grounds.? Fortunately Terry has a photographic memory and he recalled the Campground? was Game Lodge. It is in a beautiful setting and was relaxing for us.? We were there in early June and it was not very crowded during the week.? Weekends might? require a reservation which can be done on line.

You might want to consider using a terrific program called Rolling Stock. Gives me the dates I've been there, cost, room to write notes about the CG, etc. I even got the developer to put in a sort program so I could easily locate places we've stayed at. Give it a try, well worth the money ;D ;D ;D
