Campground Reviews

What a Gem of a Campground!! We loved this place and would stay again. The staff is friendly, caring and the place is immaculate. We had decent Wifi (enough to stream with little buffers). We saw dear and turkeys daily and loved sitting by the fire. A big thanks to this staff for taking such great care of us!!

We stayed a week and it’s a beautiful KOA. Staff are friendly and helpful! Camp is very clean and well maintained. Pet friendly. Quiet, relaxing, in between Hill City and Custer if you want to explore and Rapid City isn’t that far either. Lots of hiking in the area and the Needles Highway drive is beautiful! We’ll definitely be back!

Pros- staff was very friendly, kind and helpful. Park was clean. Cons- Site was not level. Area where you place your outdoor rug and chairs had ruts. Site was not long enough for our truck and trailer.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your site. We are a new KOA and we are hoping to work on sites this winter to make them better.

Our stay at the Hill City/Needles KOA was a highlight of our family vacation to the Black Hills. Tim and Melissa, and the rest of the team, went out of their way to make us feel at home. From the friendly greeting at check-in, to the amazing on-site activities and amenities, to their help even after we checked out - this is one of the best KOAs we've ever stayed at. We'll be back!

A lot tight to get to my site with a 37’ motor home.

The bed seemed very rickty. Whenever the person in the top bunk would turn over the whole bed would move. Perhaps an L bracket securing the bed to the wall would be helpful.

Thank you so much for your feedback, we will look into that. Hope to see you again.

Great staff at this campground. Bathrooms were always clean. I like the overall quiet feel of this campground. Very relaxing. My only hope is for the WiFi to improve at some point.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. The WIFI is an ongoing challenge because we are in a bowl in the National Forest we just can't get the availability like other places but we are always trying. Hope to see you again!

Beautiful, quiet campground, away from the main tourist area but still close enough to easily get to anything we wanted.

Trailer in adjoining site was too large to exit without the help of multiple people

The managers were super nice. The view was gorgeous. We loved the location. The campground was well kept, clean. Our only complaint was the sites are so small.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review, I am happy that you enjoyed your stay. We are a new KOA and a work in progress and we do hope to address the size of the sites this winter. Hope to see you again.

My wife and I stayed for 8 days. The RV Park was outstanding in appearance, location, and staff was excellent. The RV Park is situated in a beautiful area and short drives to attractions like Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Sylvan Lake, Custer State Park, etc....

We have come here often and absolutely love it. The staff is extremely accommodating and kind. It is in a great location. They make sure to not crowd people in if they don’t have to. We always will come back. The only concern is the last time we stayed before it was a KOA the bathroom facilities were clean daily, now that it is a KOA is only “cleaned periodically”. But it wasn’t overly dir

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am happy that you enjoyed your stay. The sign on the bathroom door can be deceiving, we clean periodically throughout the day. We clean the bathroom daily and then when needed, in addition to the daily. We just didn't want to set a specific time, we check the bathrooms several times a day & clean.

Wendy did care of my booking with her friendly attention that was beyond our expectations. The campground is amazing, beautiful surroundings and close to everything we needed. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. We are speaking high of this campsite to our friends and family.

Really calm peaceful stay, the only downside I can think of is that the cabin we stayed in (S) had a slightly loose front door so cold air did leak in during the night and made mornings pretty chilly. Really cozy little cabin all things considered.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we are sorry for the inconvenience that this caused you. Thank you for letting us know and I will send someone up to look at it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this rv park. Lots around to keep kids/family busy. Loved the close proximity to sights in the area. Loved the fact rv park easy access but well away from heavy traffic & road noise. Great relaxing place to stay.

Nice level spot with full hook ups. We were there for the Sturgis rally and it's nice being in the mountains instead of at Sturgis. Plenty of great rides and scenery in the Black Hills.

Close to town, and shopping. Only thing I would have changed is the bathroom. When it did get cleaned it was very nice. But only cleaned after 3 days; a lot of people in for the Sturgis rally..

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay, I wish you would have said something about the bathrooms while you were here. We actually clean them several times a day, with the Sturgis rally going on our bathrooms were used extra these past two weeks.

It was absolutely magical! We spent 11 wonderful nights. The staff is outstanding and care about taking care of the customer. Thank you Tim, Wendy, Cathy, Julio, Steve and Melissa and many more! We enjoyed the surroundings of the beautiful Needles and mountains in our view every morning. Hill City was great. The only negative was the WiFi being limited and my AT&T service being in SOS mode.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so happy that you stayed with us and that you enjoyed your stay. We can't wait to see you back!!!! Hopefully soon AT&T will have better service here.

Very friendly and accommodating. Extremely clean and modern bathrooms/showers. Beautiful views of the Black Hills. Loved our stay. Only small thing would be Wi-Fi and cell service. Not their fault for that though.

Excellent location and very well kept campground. KOA just took it over from the previous owners so we'll see where it goes but so far, so good. Very friendly and helpful staff and plenty of amenities in the campground. The front half of the campground is very tight with neighboring sites nearly on top of each other but the sites in the rear portion are much more spread out.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am happy that you enjoyed your stay. Since we were just purchased over the winter we are hoping to address the sites in the lower part this winter. We hope to see you returning next year.
Aug 05, 2025
The pulls throughs are not level and the sites were very close together. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful location, friendly staff and very clean. Loved the dog wash!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are hoping to work on all of the sites starting this winter. We hope to make them level and wider. Glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will return.
