It's not fancy, but great location and really super people! Josh, Jackie and daughter, Dally were all very helpful. I would recommend anyone who wants great scenery and especially multiple ways to see Mt Rushmore go there. It's the only campground that you can ride to Mt Rushmore except of course, two primitive park places. I love having a full coin laundry, clean showers and great ribs!!!

We had a great time staying here. I loved the ribs on Thursday night. The owners were great, very helpful and kind. I do plan on coming back here. I loved sitting on the deck. We loved being able to ride our horses off the property. Thank you so much for a great stay here!

We stopped here on our way through Iron Mountain Road, seeking some directions. Was pleasantly surprised to stumble on this place. Great hospitality and food. I didn’t go here to eat, I had gone in for directions. Then upon leaving and wishing for a snack, I ended up ordering the most A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. pulled pork sandwich. The owner was also going to be cooking up some ribs too, and though I didn’t get to stick around for those, I’m certain I would have loved those too! Great place to stop, highly recommend!

Elk Haven Horse Camp in South Dakota was a perfect stay for our purposes. Staff was polite, friendly and helpful. All amenities provided met our needs and made for a fantastic experience. Bathrooms were cleanly! Beds were comfortable. The smoked ribs that can be ordered were absolutely divine. 10/10! Both flavor and portion size met and exceeded our needs. We were able to enjoy leftovers throughout our trip. Delicious! Would gladly order again! Definitely recommend ordering a rack-they’re well worth the price!
