We enjoyed our stay!! This place is huge and has so many activities. It was a perfect base camp for all the area attractions. Mt. Rushmore was a big hit and the lightning ceremony in the evening is a must see.

We had a delightful stay. Many things had ended after Labor Day, but they still provided the "Polkapalooza" which was a lot of fun! The location of the park was very convenient to see Custer, Hill City, Grand Rapids, and the local attractions. Park was nice and clean and provided a lot of amenities.

My site was too small for my trailer, the electrical pedestal was in the wrong location, luckily I had an extension cord to reach. We are packed in like sardines and even though the restrooms are close we have to walk a long ways to get to them because we are told not to cut through a campsite you need to make pathways for easier access. Phones are not answered, and texts are not answered

we were unfortunately disappointed. First of all, we paid the premium price for a nice pull through patio site, and I must say the amendments were a bit rundown. Secondly, we are three spots in from the entrance gate and there’s some major earth work going on large equipment, breaking up boulders. It was a bit annoying. Lastly, the large door was nice. However, the run of smaller stores were clo

Wonderful staff, clean level sites, great deal of amenities especially if you are in season. Extremely clean facilities and safety patrols 24/7. Only negative was poor and spotty WiFi and calls kept dropping. Enjoy.

Very clean and well thought out RV park in one of the most beautiful settings ever!

You should change trash pick up to 10 AM from 9:00 AM. Travelers are busy tearing down site and trash is the last thing to do.

Very nice park, we had an issue initially, which was handled once we were able to pry the front desk guy away from his cell phone.

We only stayed overnight at The Mount Rushmore KOA Resort as part of a longer road trip, but what a great experience it would be to plan an extended stay! The staff was personable and supportive, the sites were well maintained and comfortable, and the amenities were more than plentiful. We did manage to visit the restaurant, and both the food and service were terrific. Highly recommend this KOA!

I was there as part of a group that was supposed to receive group discounts. We did not. I spoke several times to people at registation and nobody could figure out what needed to be done. Seems like nobody is in charge or can make a decision. So I just gave up. Everything else was fine. I would like to say though that it is very hard to get ahold of anybody by phone at the office prior to going t

It’s a beautiful place, maybe we were too close to the sewer pond. The flies and yellow jackets were nonstop at the RV site getting inside.

German Club rented a spot to park the bus we were transported in to go to the Polkapalooza. It was an ideal spot close to the polka tent. The bus left at 10 PM so no overnight stay.

Wonderful park. Was disappointed the pool wasn't open. When I booked, it said the site was close to the pool, it was, but pool was closed! ���� The pool by the lodge was open, but quite a walk from our site. We will be back.

Loved the October festivities in the big white tent what a blast

Great place to stay

DID NOT RECEIVE THE GROUP RATE DISCOUNT FOR THE FAULKTON 50TH HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. THOSE OF US IN RV'S DIDN'T GET THE DISCOUNT. Based on that failure, I won't recommend Palmer Gulch.

Biggest complaint was lack of internet connection.

Shower house closed too early. Not likely for freeze up till at least mid Sept.

There was human feces in the women’s bathroom of comfort station #4. I reported this to the front building and was told that a supervisor would send someone to address it. It was still there the next morning. This KOA is more consumed with the activities and rentals rather than the basic cleanliness and upkeep of their facilities.

We traveled with another couple and we’re pleased to have our site next to each other. Pool could have been open. For the price it’s convenient, would have been nice to have cable.

Been staying here for most years out of the last 20. Starting to feel like it's not worth what is being charged now. Sign on the pool said open until 8:00. This was not true. Wifi was basically not functional, intermittent and slow. It's 2023 and you're charging a premium. You need to do better.

Facilities are top notch. Only suggestion I have is for a breakfast restaurant that is open at 7am for a simple hot breakfast menu.
Sep 11, 2023
Very busy place! Good because there is a lot going on. But, probably less satisfying for those looking for a peaceful, quiet stay!

Beautiful resort! So much to do for everyone. Of the 3 KOA resorts we have been to recently this by far was the best. Front staff was very helpful and professional.

I wish I could say good things about this campground because it really is a cool campground. Unfortunately, the way it's being ran is terrible. We booked full hook ups and didn't get them when we arrived. Then we extended our stay by one night but we had to move to a different spot. We arrived, we got set up only to find they double booked our spot, so had to move again. Not impressed.

Location could not have been any better. Staff was extremely helpful. Only disappointment was my American flag and metal pole were taken from campsite. As a veteran--that smarts!

Such a great place to camp. Cabins, lodge hotel, and campsites. This is one of the few full service campgrounds in the country. Huge store, coffee shop, horseback riding stables, ice cream shop, and so much more. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

We had a KOA deluxe patio site. Concrete patio, fire pit, furniture and gas grill! Space was very large and easily accommodated our 32' MH with 2 slides. This is a very kid friendly place with lots to do. Trail horse rides, water slide, pool, and sport courts. You are in the Black Hills mountains, but WIFI was very good nonetheless. They also have adult things to do like fishing (need a license) ATV and car rentals on site. There is also a bar and grill on site as well. Activities are planned throughout the day or you can just rest and relax. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We lost power for about an hour due to a transformer catching on fire, but it was fixed very quickly. Cost was a little pricey ($130/night but they give you a 25% discount coupon for use in their gift shop for apparel. This was a nice camp site!!

This place is an absolute treasure. Location is excellent, bathrooms spotless, and tons of activities and dining without ever even leaving the campground. I tend to stay at 3-5 KOAs on my travels every year, and this is hands down the best. On another note, I accidentally (stupidly) left an expensive GoPro at my site (I use for my YT channel) and one of the employees found it, turned it in, and kept it safe for me while I drove back 100 miles to retrieve it. Literally the best campground with the best staff ever.
