High Country Ranch is an active horse and bison ranch surrounded by aspens and pines in the stunning, remote South Dakota Black Hills. At this fun vacation property, the whole family can enjoy activities such as hiking the famous Michelson Trail or joining the ranch’s wranglers on a trail ride.
Golf carts make it easy to get around the expansive grounds to observe ongoing ranch activities. Kids can play with goats, practice axe throwing, or play volleyball at the playground. You can also book roping lessons or kid’s pony rides.
Evenings are quiet, with time to relax around a campfire under starry skies. The spacious property offers small and larger log cabins, with amenities like fully equipped kitchens, microwaves, hibachis, TVs, and hot tubs. There are also camping and tent sites on the grounds with outdoor restrooms/showers, picnic tables, and BBQ grills.
Additionally, several RV and camping spots are available. High Country has numerous stall spaces for those traveling with horses. The serene ranch is conveniently located near local restaurants, spas, wineries, and major South Dakota attractions such as Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and The Crazy Horse Memorial.
High Country Ranch is a favorite site for weddings, corporate events, and family parties. There’s an on-property convenience store for stocking up on beer, frozen pizza, and other necessities, plus a gift shop with lovely regional art and souvenirs.
