we arrived, were greeted and checked in with ease. Our site (in the lower area) was a bit hard to level on, but we managed. We were close to the office area and that was a huge bonus for trips to get a snack, or coffee or shop. We only had to wait one vehicle to use the dump station before we left. Overall the resort is very full, very family friendly and very well managed! So may activities!

We had such a great time! We enjoyed the pools, waterside, and mini golf . The kids watched a movie at night in the activities area.... and had popcorn! The staff was all very friendly:)

Speed Bumps are a must have upgrade on Washington Road. The main drag is 10 mph and never enforced. With the especially tight campsites on spots 190-199, it would be nice if Washington wasn’t sounding like I-90. Additionally, if quiet hours were enforced a little more. 10pm? 11pm? It would be nice to not have teenagers driving around in golf carts wishing everyone a good night by yelling at

Great location, layout, and mostly great staff. Filthy comfort stations that don’t appear to be cleaned frequently enough and show no signs of a recent deep clean. The Prospector’s Tent serves ok food in a never ending cloud of flies.

We had a wonderful time with the grandchildren but would like to have more shady area in the Fun Zone for those of us who are watching our children. It was hot and sunny during our stay.

We loved your campground, but, as much turnover and how busy it is, and the ability to keep it filled, I don't know why everything you sell is so outrageously priced. I purchased a bundle of firewood and at $8 dollars for 7 pieces of wood, I almost wanted to put it on display instead of burning it. I have no problem coming back if in the area, but I will be bringing my own wood.

Excellent stay!

Stayed 2 days. Grounds are in shabby condition. Miniature golf course Astro turf was torn up. Swamp water in water holes. Expected a better water slide than one that ends in a spa tube. Expected more for the price. Had pro keith electric. Stayed in rv park. Staff was friendly!

More a family campground than a quiet remote campground for people of our âge. But we liked it nevertheless because thé nigths were quiet .

I had one issue, driver side mirrors trot was broken off in check in area. The attendants working that area have the center ones pull to far forward and then the outside lanes need to turn in to make the gate. My Motorhome was hit and the attendant helping the driver that hit me took off never to be seen again. But the rest of the staff handle it very well, professionally very courteous.

Huge campground with pools, hot tubs, restaurants, nightly entertainment & horse stables! Only 5 miles from Mt. Rushmore and very close to Crazy Horse and many other things to do!!

In all the years of camping, I would have to say, this was hands down, the best campground we have ever stayed at. I am so glad I found this campground. My kids were so busy, they didn't have time to be bored. The only complaint I would have is, my butt is still sore from horsebacking riding. LOL!!! Thank you for making our stay fun and exciting. We will be back.

Our site was on a cut out hill. Not even room to put out a carpet to sit by our trailer. Maybe OK for overnite stay but we were staying for 3 days and made our reservation more than 6 months in advance. Our friends stayed the same time and were down in the flat, nice area. The guy across the way left the same morning otherwise we would not have made it out of the site, too sharp with trailer.

We were shoved into a tiny corner in the very back of the campground. The lots were so close to each other, there was maybe 2 ft between your green space with your fire pit and the neighbor’s camper. It was one of the worst KOAs I have ever stayed at.

Everything was wonderful. Lots of activities for the kids. Swimming pool, water slide, splash pad, miniature golf, bike rentals, golf cart rentals, horse back rentals, car rentals if needed, gift shop and lots more. Just wish the showers were cleaner. Right outside the door needs to be maintained lots of standing water. Besides that great place to stay.

We stayed at the campground for three days. It was great!!! Mike was a great at welcoming us, showing us to our site and checking on us to make sure we had all we needed. We took their bus to Rushmore to the evening show and it was great!!! Also Olivia was exceptional on the horseback ride we took! She was great with my six year old granddaughter and her tour of the black hills trail was informati

Really great family campground. Lots of activities for the kids. Prospectors Tent for all you can eat pancakes for $3.50. Close to both Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials. Rv sites are really close pack them in for sure.

Stay was great! So many things for kids to do. Upon arrival we noticed that we didn’t have a firepit, but within 15min of letting staff know a new one was brought to our site and installed!

We had a problem with are assigned site in that our 41 ft RV Motorhome gave us no room to put chairs out or even have room to eat at the table. It took 4 Employees back into the site on a hill in the dark. Dylan the Manager was able to accommodate me with a golf cart to visit our daughter who was not able to be next to us due to my physical problems. will reserve a larger spot In advance

Amazing amenities! We loved the all you can eat pancakes that are offered every day. The showers and restrooms were very clean �

Got to relax and see the sites

It is frustrating to pay 160 dollars per night and be stuck in a site with no yard and unable to get 5 people around a fire pit because of the ledge on one side of the pit. Limited area to set up camp chairs due landscaping of site. Seems more like a 40-50 dollar site.

Too short. We will make it home base in the future

Very relaxing very nice atmosphere good people there we had a great time

Our first visit to Palmer Gulch was about 30 years ago with our twins. Fast forward to 2023 and we were back with the whole family celebrating 40 years old! Great time was had by all!

Very disappointing for the price you pay for, unlevel sites, small sites, NO cell or internet service at the sites. I would have to think twice to go back.

The amenities are great and very family focused which you get kudos for but honestly the sites are right in top of each other. And it did not appear that there was any monitoring of the number of vehicles per camp family. We were next to a large rv with two trucks and two ATV’s. They parked in our picnic table area.

Absolutely loved Palmer Gulch KOA, we did the horseback ride to Chuck Wagon diner show, very neat little experience and the kids enjoyed it too! Pack a cooler if you’d like an adult beverage while enjoying the show. The water park was great for the littles, and the older kids and adults enjoyed the slide. If I had one feed back it’s the internet, the WiFi spotty and no cell coverage.

This is an absolutely fantastic place to stay. Very convenient to Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Custer State Park, Devil's Tower & Custer. We stayed the week of the 4th of July. A truly inspiring trip. This park has every amenity and then some. I really liked the fact that they had car rental on site. A fine dining restaurant and pizza/ice cream parlor on site was a hit with everyone.

I stayed at an electric/ water/ sewer site, tent camp in my van and enjoyed the scenery. The campground itself is very busy with familes. Which I did not mind, because I knew this beforehand. I enjoyed all the new activities and the trail along the creek to walk on.

This KOA is amazing , just need more golf carts available for rent! Would have spent more money on recent stay…

I filled in the card but am happy to share again. We had site 13, which is a bit of a joke for how close things need to be to the road. If I had a larger vehicle it would not have worked. We paid a premium to stay at this location. I don't think it was worth it. Everything still cost extra except the normal KOA stuff, like the pool, golf, bounce pillow. Was a bit annoying. People were friendly
Jul 24, 2023
Was very busy place. Our site was quite small not very level tons of things to do there but very busy.

C’était le paradis des campings!!! Zéro moustique même si on était dans la forêt. Piscine, jeu pour les enfants, boutique et restaurant! Propreté parfait!!!

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.
