First time in the area. Beautiful park, newly paved main roads in the park. Lots to do in the park let alone in the area. Friendly staff. Only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. We will have to come back!

Loved the location, even with the necessary highway construction nearby to improve the roads! the bathrooms were very good but maybe too forceful (was pressure was so high it almost hurt); The loved so much we came back for a 2nd night. Tried out the restaurant and had a nice meal with good service.

The only complaint is all of the animal feces everywhere. Maybe the grass areas could be raked clean before the resort opens? Other than this, this resort is lovely.

When we arrived it was raining heavily. We were put in a site that had a lot of flooding & was very narrow & short for our rig & tow car & there were many more sites available. We were notified of the bridge being worked on after we booked and a detour of how to access but the signs on the road were very deceiving. Had we known, we probably would have checked other parks. Internet non existent.

We had an electrical problem with the box. It was after hours when we noticed our motorhome was shocking us. My husband was afraid there was something wrong with our motorhome which frightened us. He checked the box and apparently there was a problem with the ground. We spent an hour trying to call or find someone. Had to go to the lodge and they moved us. It was a hassle. Laundry mat issues too.

Enjoyed. Clean and well maintained except the washer/dryers being down. Wish the amenities were open but we were early in the season.

We loved the park! Everyone was so helpful and friendly! Grounds are well kept! Sid was especially nice! We would recommend this park most definitely! Thank you for a lovely stay!

When the construction is done it will be top notch.

We stayed at the camp in early May and really enjoyed our stay. Only knocking it down a star due to most of the activities being closed and the entrance being a bit difficult due to some construction. Beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly employees!

The cabin was very nice and clean when we came. The patio and bonfire area were very spacious. We loved the playgrounds for the kids also!
May 14, 2024
We arrived to major construction going on and then paving on campground made getting around difficult! Then we talked to staff about what was open the lady said nothing until Memorial Day. Come back the next night after exploring area and the taproom was open! Staff in the building is clueless and any questions I asked the shrugged shoulders. Staff on the grounds are amazing TOM was amazing!!!

beautiful setting. friendly staff

Would have rated 5 stars but because of all the re-paving of roads during our stay only 4. This a great park!

We were notified of bridge closure right before check in and not notified that there was major paving going on inside of campground at all. Both of those alone would have caused us to camp elsewhere. There is a 48 hr cancel policy. We got all the way to closed bridge bf the bridge close text cam. The front desk said we should have checked the website, which says nada about smelling paving in park

Construction was happening and could be heard at site even on Saturday. Staff did a great job of working around it. They drove you to your site to make it easier to find.

Friendly staff. I recommend it

We stayed 5 days in order to take in all of the sights. Employees were friendly and helpful. Park was very clean and scenery was extraordinary. Would definitely recommend this park! Especially for couples with children-lots for them to do.

This would be a great place once everything opens up and the bridge out front is fixed. It is a long way around to Mt Rushmore from there because of the bridge outage. 2 washing machines did not work - only went through half the cycle. And the dryers were not hot enough and took a long time to dry anything
May 11, 2024
Great place just wish everything was open restaurant for example

When I hooked up the filter to the spigot at site, turned on to fill my tank & nothing was flowing. I shut off the spigot, unscrewed the filter & it was blocked with a dark brown oily muck! Guy next to me had the same issue! I called & they sent a guy out & ran the water to clear it. They gave us new filters. U need to fix this issue permanently! Had to drain, disinfect tank & line twice!

Extremely helpful and friendly staff

Much construction going on and would have liked to have known the bridge was out.

Great bathroom

Great location and great view. The camp ground had just opened and did not have a chance to experience any of the amenities. We would come back again.

Very nice upgraded campground. Just opened for the season when we got there so many amenities were not available yet. Lots for families once fully opened for the season. Beautiful setting also.
May 08, 2024
We had a great stay in the deluxe cabin. It was perfect for our family and we will definitely be back.

Asked for a site near restrooms, we are not self contained, 4 rows away with all empty site in front of us. Restrooms were not the cleanest, and no hot water the first morning. Not the best of experience we have had with a KOA campground.

After traveling cross country and back staying in KOA’s this is by far our favorite. This “Resort” has something for everyone in the family.

This review has been removed by KOA due to profanity.

We loved our stay at Mount Rushmore. It was so nice the location was close to everything. Beautiful, clean and well manicured. I know that we were at the end of the season but it would have been nice if the restaurant was open and you still had activities for all of us in RV's that were still there. The other KOA's we stayed at did.

Convient to Mount Rushmore with capacity and neat, clean facility. A little more pricey than we're used to but Justified for the location
Oct 13, 2023
Gorgeous landscape. No question there. Bathrooms/showers, the playgrounds as well as the mini golf area looked pretty run down. Definitely overdue for TLD. Not a dealbreaker since I didn’t pay peak season pricing but if I did I would have felt a bit ripped off. Especially when you consider the extensive roadway construction at the entrance and towards the cabins. Spend the money smarter.

The park very nice, well maintained, clean. It was a pleasure to stay there. The only disappointment was that many of the amenities were already closed because of the time of year. We will definitely look you up next time we are in the area.
Oct 10, 2023
Great location. Easy to get to all the attractions nearby. Most of the amenities were closed as we visited at the end of the season but still worth the price. Campsites were level and had grass on either side of the pad. Bathrooms and showers are updated and very clean. Camp store was very nice and carried staples as well as souveniers. All the campground employees were friendly and very helpful,

Stayed for two nights end of September in Kamping Kabin, surprised it wasn't heated. Stayed at two KOA's the previous 4 nights and they both had heaters in their lowest rate Kabins. Toilet in mens bathroom was constantly clogged, otherwise they were nice ( very good hot water ).
Oct 05, 2023
We stayed the last few nights the KOA was open for the season, so we should've assumed a lot of things would be closed or shut down already. It really was unfortunate that we couldn't experience it in full. Only negative comment was by the last day the womens bathroom had only 1 soap dispenser that still had soap in it. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The showers were always very clean.
Oct 05, 2023
Great location, nice facilities and grounds, and a lot of family friendly things to do. We stayed the last week of the season so a lot of things were shut down. Staff was friendly and helpful. Though showers were not dirty, they weren't really being cleaned either since the wasp I killed stayed on the floor the whole time. Lastly, the shower curtain was disgusting and should have been replaced.

Beautiful large park, with numerous amenities (restaurants too) and activities -- as long as your visit is on/before Labor Day weekend. After that, everything is closed up with the exception of the gift shop/store, which was a bit disappointing. Very conveniently located to Mt. Rushmore, Needles Hwy, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park.
Oct 05, 2023
Staff was all knowledgeable and very helpful.

So much was already shut down, bathrooms were quite a ways away from our cabin. The mattress were TERRIBLE. The only water source was the bathrooms. Our hook up was off. I understand that we came in at the end of the season, but I don’t appreciate being charged the same amount as a regular season. The store closed so early we couldn’t even grab things for our evening meals.

Booked with koa because of pool and amenities for the kiddos Found out 2 days before arriving no pool No bathrooms close because everything locked up
Oct 04, 2023
Very disappointed that Restaurants, Ice Cream,other stores and amenities were NOT open during our stay. We paid for a premium site for five nights! Wished we had known in advance of stay that we had to leave the campground for meals every night since this KOA was basically closed the day before we arrived. If you are planning a trip here make sure you know when they close everything!!!

Stayed here for 2 nights, May 11th and 12th. Campground was super nice. We did get an upgraded site $66.00 a night. It had everything FHU, gas grill, fire pit and patio set. Can also rent a car which are at the campground so you don't have to unhook your rig to explore the area. Gulf cart rentals and ATV rentals, they have everything, lots to do. We were there during off season (before memorial weekend) so not everything was open yet. Would have been perfect location for our Mount Rushmore visit but due to road work on Highway 244 between MR and the campground we had to go the long way around. Doesn't look like the work will be done very soon. Restrooms were ok, nothing exciting, typical campground restroom and showers. If we travel this way again we would for sure stay here again.

My experiences at KOA's have not been great...up until this point. We planned a Mt Rushmore trip, and I am 100% happy we chose the KOA to stay. 3 days and 4 nights. We went over Memorial Day weekend. You will get rain and some inclement weather. We packed most of our food, but we did partake in the pancake breakfast. Kid loved it. We rented a UTV for an afternoon for 2hrs. Worth it. You go on the back trails, and if you are adventurous enough, go on the gnarly trails too. You can drive UTV's on the open road here as long as yours is street legal with plates, I believe. This was the perfect base camp for the following activities in the area: Mt Rushmore, Bear Country, Keystone, Hill City, Rapid City, The 1880 Train (the train was ok, good for kids who haven't been on an old steamer.) The camp grounds themselves are great! Pool, shopping, horseback riding, little shops to visit. We made some really great memories here. Thanks, KOA! PS: Keep in mind, this area is 'Merica friendly...In other words, treat people right and you'll be treated right. Do not play games with the locals, the black hills are vast. Just sayin.
