Amenities & Activities

Thank you for your interest in the Rafter J Bar Ranch Campground. You will find our resort to be clean, quiet, well shaded and scenic. Our staff continuously strives to offer a well-maintained and modern facility while not losing sight of the rustic setting which makes us unique. The Rafter J Bar Ranch is comprised of five camping areas separated by alpine meadows and shaded by large ponderosa pines. Choose a remote site, or camp close to the resorts activity center. We offer electric, water and sewer sites along with many tent sites. Some sites have satellite TV hookups. Enjoy a crackling fire and quiet hours that begin at 10:00 P.M. There's also full-time camp security.

Enjoy our swimming complex which features the addition of a hot tub. We are located adjacent to the George Mickelson Hiking & Biking Trail. Our resort is also surrounded by National Forest with miles of jeep trails to guide you into the rugged back country.

The Rafter J Bar Ranch is a perfect headquarters for Black Hills sight seeing, minutes away from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State park and the 1880 Train.
