Weekend Trip to redblue RV SITE / CAMPER

BethAnn's place offered full hookups, a lovely area with chairs & a fire ring, a beautiful view & it's very easy to find. We took the 111 mile bike trail with our eBikes which was a delight & rode over 3 hrs. It's great location makes it easy to go & see Mt. Rushmore, The Badlands & Crazy Horse Mnt. I highly recommend BethAnn"s place for an RV or to rent o ne of her cabins. Thank you BethAnn for a great experience!❣️

Plenty Star Ranch Retreat

3 nights at Plenty Star Ranch Retreat

Staying at Isa's Plenty Star Ranch was the perfect first time using hip camp. She was out to meet us when we arrived and after a quick run thru we were on our own. The property is beautifully maintained, bath house and bathroom were very clean. We were able to one of the camp fire pits for cooking on our last night. There's a road that goes up the hill which is a great sunset walk to enjoy the wildlife. Thanks Isa!

My wife and I had a great stay at Plenty Star, everyone was quiet and nice cool nights made for great sleep.Clean bathroom and shower room. It’s a bit spendy but it seems that’s how it is in this tourist spot.

Great place to overnight while riding the trail since it is right on it. Cabins are awesome... Jack cut the trees on his land one year, hauled them down to the ranch, hand stripped the logs the next year and then built them the following! And most of the furniture as well! Isa and Jack are very personable and welcoming making them great hosts. I will be coming back soon to camp!
