Manager Ivan Veneer is fantastic! We had a group of 27 pilots in 13 airplanes from Colorado on a June 2025 weekend trip there. Ivan was a miracle worker in doing everything we asked and offering to help us in any additional way he could. Excellent airport and fascinating small town with many things to see and do. Hot Springs is a hidden gem yet to be discovered. It sits in a valley surrounded by forested hills with many rock outcroppings. Highly recommended! Superb food, and many restaurants.

Charming airport with one of the cleanest FBOs ever. Gotta love a place that even has signage to find the extra TP-appreciate that. The highlight was finding left over cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator that seemed up for grabs. Zapped one in the convenient microwave and OMG! Best cinnamon bun EVER! Suspected here in South Dakota it would be worth the calories and I was definitely correct! Left an honor system donation for this amazing treat. Thank you for the great stop- We'll be back.

Rick goes above and beyond to take care of visitors. Sorted out a courtesy car mix up (all my fault) with texts and phone calls on Labor Day Weekend. 3 clicks on Unicom for weather. Grass runway is an excellent alternative if there is a stiff xwind for 01/19. I always plan a stop here when traveling through the area.

Looking for a stop on my way from Alaska to Texas. The grass strip at KHSR offered less wear on tundra tires than pavement. Rick offered hangar space and a car to let me enjoy Wind Cave National Park while I waited for the weather to improve. He also recommended a good motel, food, and the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. I wish I could have stayed longer so I will certainly stop there again on my next trip.
