The staff was so friendly and helpful!! Loved all there was to do in the park! Bob escorted me to my site and helped me park my rig. Very helpful! I highly recommend you bring your family!

Beautiful and well maintained camp group. Staff is amazing So many activities for the kids

This was the first time I've ever used a KOA. My wife HATES camping, but agreed to it for this road trip because I love it. She enjoyed her experience at Mount Rushmore KOA so much she is now willing to camp more often if we use KOA.

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!

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.

Very unhappy about the availability of toilets at tent site. Very far walk around RV sites to get to them. Although I knew water water not available at my site, I did expect a working pump somewhere nearby. This was not the case. The jets in the hot tub did not work. Other than that the facility was nice enough. Just didn’t impress me. Perhaps the previous two KOA stay were just above and beyon

Great place to stay. We tent camped and the sites were nice. A restroom closer to the tent sites would be a huge bonus.

Disappointed in lack of amenities for tent campers. Bathrooms are too far to walk to. Very plentiful bathrooms for RV guests

Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

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.

Facilities are top notch. Only suggestion I have is for a breakfast restaurant that is open at 7am for a simple hot breakfast menu.

Other than all the atvs/sxs with people and underage drivers and annoying people's dogs . The facility and staff was excellent!

We enjoyed ourselves very much. Beautiful place and the staff where excellent

we wanted to switch campsites at the last minute and you were able to accommodate us, which was clutch in us having a great stay! one suggestion: if you can carve out some sidewalks or pathways from the tent campgrounds to the restrooms/showers in the RV campground so the tent campers don't have to walk all the way around, that would be awesome. we didn't want to go thru anyone's site. THANK YO

Generally, the stay was great - all the staff were really wonderful! The showers were incredibly gross, but I suppose that's to be expected at a huge campground. Also, and not entirely the campground's fault, but there were kids at the playground next to us yelling and screaming at 6am every morning (despite it being posted that playground hours were 8am to dusk). Other than that it was great.

Loved everything about our stay! Fran helped me check in and was so awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Nice amenities. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great, but most people don’t need that in a place like this… � Becky was a great (unofficial) helpful and knowledgeable area guide.

Excellent facilities and campground although nowhere to wash dishes if staying in a tent and all bathrooms are in rv areas not tent areas where they are needed, but a great stay overall!

Very accommodating. Campground was quiet at night, shower house was kept clean, friendly staff. Our kids had fun swimming and did about 18 rounds, if not more, of mini golf. Horses nearby, BONUS. The drive to attractions near us was minimal. Definitely recommend.

We love Palmer Gulch and this year arranged to meet family here because we loved it so much 3 years ago. Would definitely recommend!!

Clean bath area…well informed and polite staff who were always happy to assist!

Love the mountains only problem was I was unable to get someone to show me to my tent site. Love the campground we will be back many more times.

We enjoyed all the amenities offered at the campground and had a great time. I would recommend getting a golf cart if you can afford it as things can be a far distance away depending where you are. I enjoyed the epic mountain views and two swimming pools. The onsite paid amenities are costly but the horseback riding was fun for the kids. Was within driving distance of a lot of attractions.

We had the most amazing time! We tented for 8 days and it was the perfect home base. We would go explore during the days and enjoy the evening at the fun zone. One thing I wish you would consider is to put a notice on the biker rally. I had no idea we were staying during the rally and would have chosen a different time frame to come. A notice somewhere would have helped me plan our trip better

We love the KOA at Palmer Gulch!
Aug 10, 2023
We’ve been to the Palmer Gulch KOA several times over the years and love it. The tent site we were assigned (34) was the worst tent site we’ve had. I can’t fathom who thought it would be a good idea to put a family of 6 + 3 dogs on top of other campers on this ridiculously small campground. The site was small and having my 2 year old nap impossible. We upgraded the site but it was a downgrad

Was standing at the check-in counter with no one at the reception… a very polite staff walked passed and said sorry give me a second. She went to the office area behind counter and got this guy who must have been eating his lunch. He came to the counter, unfriendly then proceeded to BURP in our face. Not enough characters to write review! Park is great this guy should be cleaning toilets!

Dirty bathrooms, flooded campsite and staff unwilling to help. It ruined our vacation such that we left early. I will tell everyone I know and post on all my social media accounts of my dissatisfaction with this campground and will warn others to avoid.

Great stay as always. Registration staff and Outpost employee at the checkout were all very friendly and helpful

We enjoyed our stay at Palmer Gulch. We tent camped with our kids. They loved the pool and “gold mining.” Close to Custer State Park. I liked the campground but the bathrooms could have been cleaner. I would recommend a more regular bathroom cleaning schedule. Thanks!

Great spot for a tent #34, fun stuff for kids and good food at the grill, all the visiting workers were polite, professional and helpful. We really enjoyed the youth group (Nathan and Alyssa) providing the Sunday worship service, it was an unexpected highlight and great way to end our trip. Kaylee was very helpful at the front desk.

My husband and I stayed here on the second to last leg of honeymoon road trip.. was very clean, quiet and staff was all very friendly!

The campsite was too small for what it said it was able to handle, also said it had a grass pad which was dirt. The employees were friendly, the pancake breakfast was a bargain and the location was very convenient.

The resort was so awesome. It could be the whole vacation itself. I will definitely be back. The only thing I would have liked different would be have a bathroom/outhouse available for the tent sites in the 30’s.

It was great. Nice clean fun place can't wait To see you guys again, thank you so much.

The people in the site next to use played music and were loud through all hours of the night. The noise ordinance was not enforced.

We stayed in the campground. Wonder place for families. No shortage of activities for the kids! The entire campus was clean and well kept! Every staff member we interacted with was fantastic!

Fun, good place to camp or stay. You can have tents, rent a cabin, or bring your own RV/travel trailer. Awesome place to stay. At the resort they have restaurants and other shops. From 7:00am to 10:30am, they have breakfast with all sorts of things. They also have an All You Can Eat Pancakes. Nice staff! Highly recommend to stay here. Looking to go next summer as well 😊.

Stayed here in a pull through, full hook up camping site. We loved our time here as is was an EXCELLENT location near several hiking trailheads (15 min from Sylvan Lake) and Needles Highway. The campsites were clean and there was a lot for kids to do here. My only complaints is that the campsites were small and many large rigs ended up parking their vehicles on the grass of their campsites and the dog park was tiny. We ended up taking our dog elsewhere to run and spend time off leash. Overall, a great stay.
