Campground Reviews

Aug 30, 2025
We love the campground and we have been there 5 times! My parents loved it when they visited 20 years ago. Great staff and fantastic atmosphere all around. We will be back again next year.

Two complaints: it was pitch black at night and very little light to find our way which was frustrating. Also in the office they said the pizza place closed at 10, it was 8:00 and they refused to serve us :/. We were hungry and tired. But the camp is ideal for a family to enjoy the amenities with their children! Lots of fun options.

Very nice stay. People very friendly. Lots of extras - all you can eat pancakes for 3.50 was a real bargain!! Evening performance by local artist exceptional!

Campground was nice but food was bad and expensive.

We loved staying at this location. The park is very nice and close to so many places to go and see. My only disappointment was the small dog park. For such a large resort, I expected more.

My husband and I were looking forward to spending our 30th anniversary at Palmer Gulch KOA where we honeymooned in 1985. Palmer Gulch was our special place. My husband David Lauseng passed away on Aug. 7. I called to cancel our August reservation but was one day outside of their cancellation window and Palmer Gulch refused to reimburse our deposit. Shameful! Nancy Lauseng 763-772-5822

This place has lots of activity all day long. There are motorcycles, side-by-sides, bicycles, etc. always on the small roads around the campsites. The sites are very close and rather small. Our motorhome had about 3 feet space before the road. They advertise Wi-Fi but it is really not available. If you like a lot of people, then you may like this place.

Was very nice but too crowded and packed in too close to other campers.

Beautifully And clean

My wife and I just stayed at this Mount Rushmore location. First time staying here and didn't know what to expect. We where pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The campground was like staying at a 5 star resort. They have so much to offer and it's in the perfect location to visit any of the tourist locations in the area. Definitely would love to stay here again

Our stay began poorly due to a dismissive and unprofessional check-in experience with Phoebe; her attitude was so off-putting, it left me feeling genuinely upset. Unsupervised children directed a slur at my child, and with no staff intervention, we left feeling unsafe and deeply disappointed. While the location is convenient, the lack of courtesy and oversight significantly impacted our visit.

With all the amenities, it’s like having your own little town right there. It’s so close to many of the attractions, it has several places to eat right in the campground & we were even able to rent our car from the Kamp! Everyone was very accommodating.

Two night stay. Nice & quiet in the evening hours. Amenities are excellent, especially if one is traveling with children; though we were not. Very nice store in registration building & two available restaurants on-site. Price is higher than many places, plus the add-on of a ‘resort fee’ of $13/night; but there are plenty of activities whether one uses them or not, thus the higher cost.

This was our second time staying at Palmer Gulch and it did not disappoint. Great place with all the amenities, especially for family with kids. Endless amount of things to do. Clean, well kept and great service. The only request - wish there were some non-dairy options at breakfast and Turtle Town for those with dairy allergies.

This is a beautiful KOA and the staff is wonderful. All of the facilities were clean, we loved that there were food options there since we had been driving all day. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we're ever in the area!

NO WI FI IN MY AREA IN THE CAMP GROUND
Aug 27, 2025
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed most of the fun activities! Park is clean, peaceful for the most part and we loved the many ATV trails. Will return.
Aug 27, 2025
The staff was so friendly and helpful! The park is very clean and well kept! We didn't take advantage of everything, but didn't eat dinner at Tne Peak restaurant.

Very noisy with all the gas fired golf carts and 4 wheelers. Staff kept the bathrooms clean . Could spread campers out better when not busy . Pancake breakfast was great .

My campsite was lovely. The bathroom location could use some work. There wasn't any place to park and you had to walk quite a way to get to them. The pool was frigid and the mini golf was pretty worn out and there were not enough clubs to really play. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was friendly.

5 families and 1 had a decent site. Ours was the worst! We have a 40 ft toy hauler and we’re on a cliff! The worst site in the park! We could not have a fire and couldn’t sit outside or use the picnic table that was hanging off the cliff! We had to get help getting off the site for fear of damaging our rig. Please do better!!!!!

My stay was excellent! The bathrooms and showers were clean. The KOA has so many things to do, our family had so much fun! �ϸ We had one bummer of an experience with the hot tub maintenance man. He was very crabby and rude.

The only complaint I have is that it would be nice to see a picture of the camp spot when going to select the site. I would of chosen a different site # due to the size of our camper
Aug 26, 2025
We had a wonderful stay, my family loves it. My only complaint is the workers would come "clean" the comfort are at 8:30 every morning which was super inconvenient, and by clean I mean refill the paper products, I could very much tell those bathrooms were not cleaned at all while we were there. Granted they weren't terribly dirty but they didn't get cleaned. Love this resort, you guys do it right

As retired adults we would have preferred a space that was not across from the FUN ZONE. When asked at check in if there are any children with us - and the answer was no - that would have been a great time to look at what space we were assigned #336, and ask if we would prefer something quieter. This KOA is wonderful for families with children, not so much if it's someone traveling without kids.

Why does the bathrooms need to be closed (for cleaning) at prime time of use. Tried using at 8 and 8:30am.
Aug 26, 2025
Great Campground and great hospitality from all the staff.
Aug 26, 2025
Wonderful in every way except need better internet service.
Aug 26, 2025
Most things were great - employees service, facilities, bathrooms and showers. But the kids driving their bicycles and scooters well above the speed limits (without any care about safety of others in their path) is enough for my family to stay away from any KOA.

Overall, it was very nice, and we had a good stay. We loved the grill, large deck on the cabin, and pools. However, the mattress on the queen-sized bed in the main bedroom is very much in need of replacement (very soft and saggy), and there were several burnt out light bulbs in the cabin, so a few things to be remedied.

Nice place. Very big. Lots of people there the 4 nights we stayed
Aug 25, 2025
we've stayed here for many years and always look forward to coming

It's beautiful location with all the amenities and conveniences of home is wonderful. Love the pancakes

So much fun, a lot of fun things for the kids!!

Very beautiful campground. Would definitely stay here again. Love the Prospectors Tent, great breakfast with reasonable prices.
Aug 25, 2025
We really enjoyed our stay. Many amenities and everyone was friendly. We would definitely recommend and stay again. The only thing I wish they had were fans in the showers and a possible bench. Otherwise everything was cleaned on a daily basis.
Aug 25, 2025
From check in an, it was AWESOME! Everyone was so friendly! We went to The Peaks several times and had the same server every time. He was amazing! Always had a smile for us! We will definitely be back! KOA did good with this property.

Beautiful location and lots of great amenities. The handicap accessible restroom was not marked in any way to indicate it as such and took a lot of effort to locate. The main camp area felt crowded but our cabin area was less crowded with a gorgeous morning view.

The best place we have stayed
Aug 25, 2025
We stayed 5 nights. We were sightseeing in the area so didn't really use the facilities. So the $13 per day resort charge on top of the high rate of $160+ per day was a bit steep. Shower curtains were moldy. Paint peeling off the wall. Our BBQ grill was filthy and we told the office but nothing done. Location was good for sightseeing. Staff in the office was friendly.

Very nice camp ground, lots to do, only thing that was a negative, had more to do with parents letting the kids run wild, on the peddle bikes riding them on the road, also the hot tub was barely warm

Everything was excellent.

A great family stay! We loved our cabin - clean, comfortable, and perfect with kids. So many activities, food options, and amenities that we spent a lot of time enjoying the resort. Also a great location to access so many other attractions in the area.
