Campground Reviews

Wow! What a great park. We could only stat a couple of days and enjoyed every minute.

Beautiful, well-kept park with ALL the amenities. We stayed in a premium spot with a patio, table and chairs, firepit, and BBQ. It was level and clean with large grassy areas between each site. Great location for us to see Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park. Other than some loud neighbors using foul language and parking their UHV’s (4) on the lawn, it was a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

Perfect location. Close to Mt Rushmore. Very quiet, very clean, large pull in spots for large RV’s pulling trailers.

Good base for our explorations of the area. Full range of activities for families. We found the shower size cramped and hard to put on dry clothes after showering.

Loved the stay at Mount Rushmore KOA Palmer Gulch. Lots to do for families. Very clean. Staff is friendly. Close to two state parks and Crazy Horse. Thanks we loved it.

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

Please clean the bathrooms and camping cabins better. Dead flies and bees in the windows and dirty slime on bathroom floors. Noticed 3 cleaning people went into a camping cabin for less than 1 minute ( that’s not long enough to clean out a cabin ) Otherwise - your KOA property is beautiful - very clean camp ground. Thank you

Campground is beautiful and close to everything. However, up to and including the first day of our stay, we got emails about all there is to do at this resort-pancake breakfast, chuckwagon, hot tub-etc. Nothing was open except the one restaurant by the office and they were out of a lot of their menu items. Didn’t expect things like pool to be open but to get emails the morning of and all closed

We called to confirm the bar and grill would be open when we made the reservation on line and we were told it was. When we arrived we were told it closed two days before. I reserved a pull thru site for a 36 ft 5th wheel and pickup with slides. the site was 40 ft long. when I asked where do I park my pickup I was told park it on the grass so we had no place to sit ouside. Won't be back!

Perfect location to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Custer was a great small town. And lots of animals to see at Custer State Park
Sep 26, 2023
Clean and quiet park. Went in late September so most of the park activities were shut down. Biggest negative is when it rained our site was muddy with water pooling.

The Resort was very good, the only problem we had was the restaurants and stores were either closed or closed early. At check in we were told we could get pizza at the restaurant until 8PM, we went there at 4:30PM and all they were serving was ice cream and said they were getting ready to close for the season. No coffee or wine was available at the wine/coffee shop either.

Easy to register, lots of amenities and beautiful surroundings. A perfect location for exploring Mount Rushmore.

We were very comfortable!

Very nice campground conveniently located to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park plus the towns of Hill City and Custer. The only disappointment was that lots of options like the Peak Grill, swimming pools, hot tubs, horseback rides, etc. were closed for the season after Labor Day.

Great location

The WiFi at most areas in the park stinks! Don't claim to have WiFi when it only works in a few spots. I joined KOA but I have been disappointed so far. KOA's charge too much for what you get. We have no use for the playground equipment and pool but we pay for it. I doubt I will book any more KOA sites as we have found much better accommodations for less money in non-chain RV sites.

No shade, terrible internet and most of the amenities were closed 9/4

Nice facility, everything was shut down for the season, appears to be a great place for families. Disappointed that our site lock was canceled without our knowledge, after confirming it was still available when I changed dates

Loved it and we were there in the off season. Already planning a trip during the peak season

Beautiful campground, very nice and helpful staff. Clean restrooms.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The campground offers so many activities. The best part was being right around the corner from Mount Rushmore.
Sep 23, 2023
I was disappointed that most everything was closed. You have 3 laundry facilities and only one open, the park was fairly full. The one that was open was a mess 2 days in a row and busy. At check in the gentleman was nice but not very informative, about garbage, Wi-Fi etc. The escort was nice. The sites are small, very little space to park our truck, our TT is only 26’

They talk about the amenities and state several are closed after Labor Day. We chose the location because it had a restaurant and coffee shop and no where on the site did they say they were closed. Because we didn’t have a separate car to go find a place to eat, we were out of luck. Staff didn’t seem to care especially the gal with the nose ring and tattoos. No cell service and no cable TV
Sep 23, 2023
our stay was very nice. would have been a bit better if we were parked a bit closer to the restrooms
Sep 23, 2023
Close to Mt Rushmore with all the amenities you could ask for, this was a great place to stay for us. Next time we'll try to get here before Labor Day as there was so many opportunities shut down for the season.
Sep 23, 2023
Restrooms could be cleaner
Sep 23, 2023
Arrived after Labor Day and most of the amenities were closed, including the restaurant. Showers could you a face lift at this facility. Paper towels would be appreciated in the bathrooms.
Sep 22, 2023
We would have given this a 5 rating if they hadn’t closed the only close bathroom with one day left on our stay. Walking blocks in the middle of the night to use the bathroom is a treat - add to that walking up hill & out of breath. Hard to get back to sleep. Please keep in mind camping cabin people when locating bathrooms! Beautiful campground & cleaner than last time we were there.
Sep 22, 2023
The campsites small
Sep 22, 2023
Most everything was close, no restaurant, no shopping, no stores paid full price for 1/2 the park

Very disappointed in this "resort". Sites are small and cramped. Power fluctuations killed our 50amp surge suppressor. Only the Tap Room was open when we arrived Sat, Sep 16, yet charged full price that night.
Sep 22, 2023
Our site was dirt that turned to mud with little rain. Site had bits of trash all over and was extremely small even for our Sprinter Van. We were not informed ahead of time that all of the facilities at the campground were closed after Labor Day. Price did not equal the value.
Sep 22, 2023
We were there for 2 nights mid September, so the park was quieter and many amenities were closed. They were grading the roadways which was a positive. The distance to Black Mountains and Mt Rushmore are very easy rides.
Sep 22, 2023
Great facilities! The front desk staff was fantastic when I checked in for my RV site!!! Couldn't ask for better customer service.
Sep 22, 2023
Great facility. Laundry and bathrooms very clean and accessible.

This was an amazing Koa. Jose? Was the best. He gave us so info and was so friendly. All the staff was great but about for him.

Excellent location. The entire park was clean, well-organized & plenty of hiking trails with open dog parks. Staffs were courteous, friendly, & helpful, one of the best KOAs we've stayed. Plenty of amenities throughout. There were plenty of apparatus for children throughout the park for kids. The two swimming pools & water slide were at great locations... We think May will be good for people who don't want a "sardine can" atmosphere. The best part, we were entertained to the Star Spangled one fine day by one of the RV. We will return probably around the same time despite most of our stay were controlled by the bad weather.

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.
