We camped here for three nights in our 26' travel trailer, using Passport American discount, which made it very reasonable. For the price, we had a decent sized site with picnic bench, full hook-ups, laundry and extremely clean restrooms. The sites are gravel pull throughs and was pretty level. There is no shade or privacy, though we did notice that they have planted young trees, so this will improve in time. There is a drive-in movie theatre right next door, which was great for our first experience. This didn't cause any particular noise or bother from what we could tell. This park is well located for Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Badlands National Park. There's also a decent pizza place and a Flying J nearby. We would stay again for the price ($19 p/n with PA). The only improvement we would suggest would be to have wifi, but we did have AT&T service while there.

What campers say
Southern Hills RV Park and Campground is a tidy, well‑maintained small park with level gravel sites and full hookups (30/50 amp, electric, Wi‑Fi). The bathhouse, showers and laundry receive frequent praise for cleanliness, and owners/hosts are consistently called friendly and helpful. The park feels quiet and somewhat secluded yet is conveniently located for Rapid City, Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, with a bar/restaurant next door. Practical tradeoffs: it’s not a resort — no pool or playground — but it offers dog parks and space that accommodates both small and large RVs.
