Well cared for campground with a cozy feel. Garret, our host, was very accommodating and communicative. There is a neat little rock outcropping hill that stands behind the resort which is a great spot for a hike with a view. Nice facilities. Would recommend and stay again!

We reserved the camper site for a long weekend in September and loved our site. They are right near the entrance to Spearfish canyon and it is beautiful there. June was super responsive to all of our questions which was great. It is very peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. The site is concrete and there is water hookup which we loved. We have a 26ft camper and recommend backing the camper in for the smoothest transition. If we decide to come back to the Black Hills we would stay here again.

We camped there with our 25 ft RV. Nice and clean site. Very peaceful and private. Enjoyed not being in a big camp site. Site is right at the entrance to Spearfish Canyon. Would definitely stay there again. Slab is not level due to drainage reasons. Be prepared to level out RV.

We didn’t stay long as we were passing through but this place was absolute paradise! Garret is super responsive and was a fantastic host! The view is unbeatable. My favorite part is there was no bugs. The bathroom and showers were perfect for our family and although we didn’t need it they do have onsite laundry which I’ve found can be hard to come by. The surrounding area is stunning, with Lake Sheridan just around the corner. Would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed our peaceful beautiful surroundings in the quieter area of the Black Hills. But still close enough to area attractions. A bonus was electric & water at this spacious concrete pad. Also a large pavilion to shade you or get you out of a shower. Hanna Rd was lightly traveled, which made an excellent dog walking road with beautiful vistas along a 4 mile walk. A drive through Spearfish Canyon is just a short distance away. We extended our stay to enjoy 4 relaxing, zen-kind of days. Will definitely return to Luxury RV Canyon Retreat.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet setting located close to area attractions then this location is for you. We enjoyed a 4 day stay appreciating the lovely surroundings and wildlife. Dog walking was great on Hanna Road (a lightly traveled road). There is a large concrete rv pad, electric, water and a large pavilion to enjoy.

A lovely place to stay if you are looking for peaceful solitude, beautiful surroundings, wild life viewing and yet are close to the many attractions located in the Black Hills. An added bonus: the site provided electric hook-up, fresh water, a large concrete pad to park on and a big pavilion to keep you shaded or dry in the event of rain. Minimal traffic on Hanna Rd which made dog walking safe. Our host was attentive and responsive to any inquiries we made. Would highly recommend this location.

A peaceful place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful, quiet surroundings. The air was clean & fresh with the fragrant smell of pines. We appreciated the fact we were alone without fellow campers. Plenty of deer to see foraging in the woods and little chipmunk's scampering around the camp area. A large pavilion provided cover from rain & sun. The concrete pad and electric hook-up was an added bonus! There is even a fresh water hook-up to top off your tank. And the water is cold & delicious! Hanna road, which runs up the canyon offered great dog walking, with minimal traffic. You are conveniently located to major attractions and yet far enough away to enjoy a slower, quieter spot in the Black Hills. Don’t miss taking a drive through Spearfish Canyon, a spectacular scenic drive just moments away. Originally signed up for a 2 day stay, but extended our stay to 4 days! Enjoyed every minute.
