RV Reviews

We booked our stay a few days before we arrived. There is two of us campers traveling together, and we told them we wanted to be together. The lady on the phone said we would be across from each other. When we arrived, the older gentleman checking us in, said we should have paid extra to be together. We weren't offered that option when we booked our reservation. Very disappointed.

We are sorry for the confusion on this. It appears that even if you had paid the select my site fee, we still might not have been able to accommodate you as your wished, that was a holiday period and we may not have been able to move others around to accommodate you.

Loved the shady dog park with the swing! Putt Putt area needs some attention. Staff very nice. Looks like improvements and updates are ongoing.

The usual KOA journey, nice folks, gravel, store and clean facilities. Propane was out so had to find on the road. Few trash cans scattered about. Mosquitoes were very bad but that’s nature. If you are going to see the badlands, this KOA is ten miles away on a windy road. Closer options available.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. However, we are a straight shot and 5 miles from the Interior entrance to the Badlands National Park. IF you come to us from I-90, then we are 15 miles from that exit and you do come through the National Park.

Friendly staff, the food chef at the kamp kitchen was excellent! Pancakes, bacon, Buffalo burgers deserve 5 star rating. The pool depth markings need immediate repair, we thought the depth was 4 ft, turns out it was 7 ft, the label was missing. Our site was nice, but no fire ring, bit of a disappointment. Would definitely stay again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank for the review! The tall black feature on the patio, is the fire pit, just not a ring on the ground. We have addressed the depth markers on the pool.

Loved it! Close to the national park, great sites with shade or sun....you choose. The staff as terrific and the stay perfect. I even ate the Sunday AM pancakes from the grill. I hope I get the chance to be here again.

Very convenient location to camp by Badlands NP. Friendly staff. The camper adjacent to our spot had an issue with his RV slide out and the KOA staff maintenance fixed it so he could continue his travels.

Reasonable stay. Great location for the Badlands NP and also to get to Rushmore. Set up was ok, site was dirt and grass with a bit of gravel. Space between was not too close. Someone had a bug zapper nearby which was helpful.

too much mosquito in my Campsite, I can not go outside, too much. the washroom is clean. But they did not clean the campsite, that is why too much mosquito.
Aug 29, 2023
We loved the campground. It was in a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful area off the beaten path. The flies and mosquitoes are really bad, so bring the citronella and bug spray.

Flat, pull thru lots with full hookups. Would stay there again. The little restaurant was a welcome perk after traveling all day. Buffalo burgers were delicious! Clean shower houses.

It was very HOT (102) and lots of Flys and mosquitoes so it was difficult to sit or walk around the campground. Had to use bottle water to drink as the tap water tastes bad. Staff was excellent and the site was very nice.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. We have very hard water in this area of South Dakota, so it does taste a bit different.

We stayed four nights. The location is great for visiting the Badlands. We liked the trees for shade, large off-leash pet area, and the KooKhouse and Pavillion. The staff was super nice, and the park was very clean. The biggest issue was the mosquitoes and biting flies. The staff did "fog" for bugs the morning we left which really worked. To a lesser degree, the water had an unpleasant taste.

Great location. Nice staff. KOA store has the essentials. They do have flies as others have stated- so we didn’t sit outside. Nice locations to see badlands.

Very nice campground with clean facilities. The on-site “cook shack” provided tasty and convenient meals when we did not want to cook. Best of all were the staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful, even tried to figure out a solution for an issue with my van’s electrical connection. And they let us switch campsites to a shady site. Wonderful hosts!

Masses of mosquitos. Showers closed for cleaning at 6:00 am. Would not stop at this KOA again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Coming off a five year drought has been hard for the entire state to overcome. We try to get the bathhouses clean for early risers, sorry you were inconvenienced.

I was pleased to find this campground. The tent site selected was just a short walk to the bathrooms and showers. The trash bin was close and there was access to fill up drinking water throughout the campground. It has a dog wash/cool off station right next to a well maintained dog park.

This might be my favorite koa. Thor and his wife are awesome. Everything here is about customer service, and they go above and beyond. We will be back.

We had a travel trailer, sites were nice, level and easy to get into. Quiet and peaceful setting although close enough to the National park entrance and the Loop road with hikes and overlooks. Heard cow moos in the distance at night. Host were friendly, and knowledgeable. clean, well kept and actually green. Located next to the white river. Would defiinetly stay here again if visiting the Badlands.
