CAMPERS OPERATING A Wi-Fi ROUTER (HOTSPOT)Hart Ranch offers free Wi-Fi throughout the resort. To allow for the most effective utilization of the Wi-Fi network, all AP’s (access points) will be configured to negotiate with computers manufactured in 2010 and later… (1) If your computer was manufactured prior to 2010, its network adapter cannot efficiently negotiate with the newer Wi-Fi protocols. (i.e. 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz) (2) You will know if your computer is pre-2010 by being able to ‘see’ available Wi-Fi networks, but ‘unable’ to connect to any of them. (i.e. computer network adapters using 802.11a, b, g)

Instead of buying a new computer to overcome an outdated network adapter, the Hart Mart has Wireless Adapters available that are compatible with the park’s access points. Once the software is loaded into your computer, simply plug the new adapter into a USB port and you will have Wi-Fi access to both the 2.4 GHZ and 5.0 GHz broadcast frequencies.

If you have further questions, or need assistance making the transition to an updated Wi-Fi adapter, please contact us through the front desk.

His name was John Harrison Hart, and he settled the ranch in the 1880s. It is only fitting that this land bears his name today. Hart was straight from the pages of Old West history, and he carved out his ranching empire while Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane roamed the streets of Lead and Deadwood. There is much about him which is leg-end, but far more which is fact. This bull driver, Civil War fighter, scout, pioneer, and frontiersman blazed a reputation remembered even today by those who live around the ranch. The legend says he arrived in the Black Hills with only $15 in his pocket and survived the first winter by chopping wood for 75¢ a cord. The facts show his hard work, entrepreneurial skill, and innovative mind parlayed what little he had into a successful freight line from Pierre to Rapid City and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The legend says he never learned to drive a car, even though he lived to see World War II. The fact is that you still can find people who remember driving him around his ranch when – too old to ride a horse or wagon anymore – he just couldn’t stand being away from the land he loved. The final chapter of our story is the purchase of the 13,000-acre Hart Ranch in 1983 and the construction of the Camping Resort. In 1984 the membership was deeded for the 195-acre resort. There are several companies associated with the Hart Ranch name – Hart Ranch Golf Course and Hart Ranch Development Company. The Hart Ranch Camping Resort Club is an independent and separate corporation. Be sure to learn more about the history of Hart Ranch by visiting the Hart Ranch Heritage Center in the Upper Lodge!

Hart Ranch Events

When doomed cavalry Colonel George Armstrong Custer first entered the Black Hills in 1874, he found a strikingly beautiful land filled with mountain meadows, granite spires and thick ponderosa forests. Nearly 140 years later, visitors to the Black Hills can still enjoy the same adventure, freeroaming wildlife and breathtaking vistas that so impressed the explorers who came here so long ago.

With two million acres spanning a region 120 miles long and 60 miles wide, it’s practically an adventure just figuring out where to begin exploring the Black Hills. After all, this region is home to the highest concentration of public parks, monuments and memorials in the nation.

Black Hills Attractions


BADLANDS NATIONAL PARKAlmost a quarter million acres of eroded buttes, jagged peaks and sandy plateaus makeBadlands National Park one of the most striking landscapes in the world. Sunsets and sunrises are especially beautiful times of the day, casting hues of pink, yellow and orange against the rock walls. Wild bison, coyotes, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs roam freely within the park’s borders. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation encompasses the southern Stronghold Unit of the park, where the Ghost Dances of the 1890s were held. The area is also one of the world’s richest Oligocene epoch fossil beds, where animals 25 million years old continue to be discovered.

MOUNT RUSHMORENATIONAL MEMORIAL

One of the nation’s most recognizable icons, Mount Rushmore, depicts the faces of George Washington, Thomas

Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt on the side of a granite mountain. You can walk all the way to the base of the massive memorial on the Presidential Trail,

although a stop in the Lincoln Borglum Museum first is a good way to learn

more about the mountain’s symbolism and history.

WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARKGuided tours of the fifth-longest cave in the world are the most popular feature of this

park north of Hot Springs. In fact, adventurous explorers can sign up for the Wind Caving Tour,

a four-hour excursion through the remotest reaches of the cavern. Adventures await parkvisitors above ground as well, where 28,295acres of mixed-grass prairie and pine forest

support a network of hiking trails and abundant wildlife. Bison, elk, pronghorn

antelope, mule deer, coyotes and prairie dogs all inhabit Wind Cave National Park, making it the perfect stop for photographers and

nature-lovers.


CUSTER STATE PARKThis 71,000-acre nature preserve is the home of several camping facilities and rustic lodges, including the State Game

Lodge, dubbed the “Summer White House” in 1927 when President Calvin Coolidge spent

three months vacationing here. Several lakes and streams provide fantastic fishing,

while the 1,500 bison that call this place home – one of the largest publicly-owned

herds in the world – put on a fantastic show during the annual Buffalo Roundup.

JEWEL CAVENATIONAL MONUMENT

The third-longest cave in the world is located just a few miles from Wind Cave, leading some experts to believe that the two caverns are actually part of a giant network that stretches throughout the

Black Hills. Besides cave tours, ranger-led hikes on the surface are a popular activity.

Bat-lovers are especially fond of Jewel Cave, since around 1,500 bats of at least six different species use the caverns for

shelter throughout the year.

THE MICKELSON TRAILConverted from former railroad beds, the 117 miles of the Mickelson Trail bisects

the entire length of the Black Hills, connecting Deadwood to Edgemont and passing through many central Black Hills communities along the way. In the summer it’s

used for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and in the winter months it turns into a groomed snowmobile trail. Tunnels, waterfalls, ruined mining buildings

and ghost towns are among the many sights of interest along the trail.

DEVILS TOWER NATIONAL MONUMENTRising 1,267 feet straight out of the prairie, Devils Tower is perhaps best known

for its role in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Designated as the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, Devils Tower is one of the most challenging rock-climbing destinations in the country. A number of less-strenuous hiking trails surround the tower itself, which rests along the red

banks of the Belle Fourche River in northeastern Wyoming.

There was a time when it wasn’t safe to walk the boardwalks of the wildest and woolliest town in the West. But that was a hundred years and a dozen gunfights ago. This is the town that welcomed Wild Bill Hickok, then wept when he was gunned down holding aces and eights, forever after known as the “Deadman’s Hand.” This is the place that witnessed the one-woman cyclone known as Calamity Jane, who claimed she could out-shoot,

out-spit and out-swear any man, and usually did. Today, both are buried side-by-side in Deadwood’s “Boot Hill.” Visitors now encounter brick streets, period lighting, old-time trolleys, Victorian facades and one of the largest historic preservation projects in the world, all fueled by an un-likely benefactor – limited stakes gaming, complete with poker, blackjack and the notorious one-armed bandits.

DEADWOOD



SPEARFISH CANYONThe breathtaking limestone palisades of this creek-carved gorge are more ancient than the Grand Canyon – albeit much closer together. The narrow walls of Spearfish Canyon, which rise up to 1,000 feet above the creek bed, are among the most spectacular scenery in the Black Hills. Cascading waterfalls quench the thirst of quaking aspen, gnarled oaks, sweet-smelling spruce and the ubiquitous ponderosa pine, which grow right off the edges of rocky precipices. The diverse array of plant life provides a comfortable home for deer, mountain goats, porcupines and bobcats. The canyon was accessible only by horseback until a railroad line to Deadwood was completed in 1893. When a flood in 1933 all but destroyed the tracks, a motorway was built right on top of the old rail bed.

Today, this road is U.S. 14A, one of America’s few designated scenic byways. The highway continues through the canyon for nearly 20 miles, affording visitors views of both its pristine natural wonders and its historical treasures. Near the middle of the canyon is the old sawmill town of Savoy, which provides a jumping off point for several scenic hikes and forays into ancient mining and logging camps. Further up the canyon is Cheyenne Crossing, the point where the gold-rush era Deadwood- Cheyenne stage line crossed Spearfish Creek.
