Are you looking for a camping experience that has a little more to offer than just a tent site? Here's a ranch that offers a campground, and also some unique glamping options that will take you right back in time.

The owners are the 5th generation here, and they're committed to making your camping experience the best you've ever had. The address here is 13013 Fall River Rd., Hot Springs, SD 57747.

Pitch your tent in one of the tent sites along the river. Some of the sites even offer electricity.

You might be camping, but you'll still enjoy some amenities. Campers will enjoy modern shower houses with warm water.

If you want a more luxurious experience, stay in the glamping tent.

This tent is outfitted with a wood floor, electricity, soft queen-sized bed and luxury linens.

You can relax under the awning on the front porch, and enjoy nature right from your front door.

For a more rustic experience, stay in a tipi dwelling. You'll find comfy cots and sleeping bags inside for the ultimate camping experience that will take you back to the 1800s.

The Minnekahta River is fed by warm springs, and it's full of minerals. Native Americans and generations of settlers have touted its properties for healing and relaxing.

The ranch offers tubes for all its campers so you can float this river and enjoy a refreshing splash when the weather's hot.

Other onsite activities include a playground, and a field that's perfect for a game of volleyball.

Old West interpretive programs show you how early settlers and Native Americans survived more than a hundred years ago.

In the evening, you'll enjoy a cowboy dinner. You'll dine on steaks, fresh corn, baked potatoes, and homemade cowboy beans .

Dine on the deck with a view of the river. You'll make some new friends, and enjoy your meal in the fresh air of the Black Hills.
