While exploring Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, the Rafter J Bar Ranch served as a great base camp. The campground is good sized with over 150 sites and several cabins.

Probably the biggest amenity, or at least the one we used the most was the pool. The kids were in the pool everyday that we were there and it was…
