The full-service RV resort has 185 full-hookup RV sites with 110 pull-throughs and 75 back-ins. Elkhorn Ridge has 20/30/50-amp service available, city water and sewer, and every campsite is paved and leveled. “We also have three VIP pull-through RV sites that include all of the same hookups, plus a bigger patio with an outdoor dining set, BBQ grill, and patio rockers,” said Burr. With unobstructed views of Elkhorn Peak and Crow Peak, “you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the mountains.” Tent campsites are also available, as well 36 full-furnished small and large log cabins. Guests can request a VIP cabin, which are similar to the large cabins with slightly more square footage, a porch swing, and another full-size bed (in comparison to twin bunk beds). For a unique experience, stay in the historic Draper Roadhouse that can sleep up to 19 guests, and carries a rich history along with it. Named after Anna and Marion Draper , the homestead was built in 1888, replacing the original Centennial Park Hotel and post office that was lost in a fire on the road between Spearfish and Deadwood. “Henry Frawley purchased the property and acreage in 1912, using the property to house his ranch hands, then later renovated it into Hank and Molly Frawley's home,” said Burr. “Now Elkhorn Ridge maintains the home and offers it for rent to guests coming to enjoy the Black Hills.” Located on 110 acres, it also has views of the buffalo herd.
