We really liked our stay but were really disappointed with the showers all of the shower curtains were moldy took a shower the first night and the mold spores in the steam made it very hard for me to breathe so we had to shower in trailer. We would of liked some of the activities and pancakes breakfast to of lasted past Labor Day we were there 2 days after and everything had ended disappointing

Very clean, friendly staff, we got there as the seasonal places were closing for the seasons. We are planning a return trip soon

Loved it! A few negatives: campsites were a little close together. And everything was shut down after Labor Day. How about keeping the bar/restaurant open? After Labor Day, the majority of the people are adults. The bar would have been a Great way to relax and unwind and meet fellow travelers. Otherwise, all positives from cleanliness of sites and comfort stations, competence and friendliness of

We loved our stay at the Mount Rushmore KOA Resort at Palmer Gulch. It was a great place for exploring the Mount Rushmore area. We got in on the last chuck wagon of the season. This KOA Resort has a lot to offer everyone in all age groups. Our site #101 was a great pull through, level, full hookup T the front of the park. Clean and well maintained by a great staff. Would recommend it to other.

This was the perfect base camp for the Mt. Rushmore area.

Very nice campground especially well-suited for families with children. Large with plenty of food/bev outlets and shops. Lots of activities and playgrounds for the kids. Surrounding area was beautiful and it's conveniently located close to Mt Rushmore. We probably won't return in the summer as we are an older couple without kids and would appreciate a little more quiet.

We were disappointed in how small the camp site was #351. The one we had signed up for online looked bigger and had trees around it. The bathroom was nice but the shower area had no hooks to hang anything on and no bench so had to put clothes bag and towels on the floor. Would be good to paint the speed bumps again. We appreciated that they picked up garbage every day.

We wish more shops were open. The laundry rooms are not clean. The showers are disgusting especially the curtains. Mold/Scum!! For a 'RESORT' KOA, we expected better cleanliness. Please consider fly strips in bathrooms and laundry rooms. So many flies.

Sites were too close together. Grass well maintained, Restroom and showers were clean, nice store, friendly and helpful staff. Nice location, centrally located.

Very well maintained campground ! Friendly staff!

We stayed there several times and it has always exceeded our expectations. It is very clean and the staff are friendly. We are retired and would love to take our grand kids there.

Beautiful campground! Very nice people working there.

Nice back in site, pretty level. We had a huge open grassy area behind us. I would LOVE to have been able to score the park up where it should be, however they have a breed ban in place not only for Pit Bulls, but German shepherd and several other breeds. This is the first KOA (we have stayed at many) we have stayed in that bans dogs!

I was disappointed that all the amenities closed down at Labor Day.

Beautiful venue. Nice and very helpful people. Good sale in gift shop

Very nice place. Only real complain is that the WIFI was virtually unusable. This was made worse due to the no cell coverage on Verizon. I expected more from a KOA "Resort."
Sep 08, 2025
Pros: Great location. Well maintained. Water and electric hookups worked well. Surprisingly strong wifi. Cons: Very small sites for such a large property. No pathways to the restrooms (requiring a very long walk around the end of the road). Dog waste on site. No firewood delivery to site.

Very clean and very helpful staff and yes I have already spread the word about your KOA beautiful place

I was really bummed that the ice cream shop and coffee shop were closed for the season. Seems like they should stay open on weekends at least in sept. There was plenty of people camping on the weekend. Also the shower in our cabin had dark hairs in it. And the floor boards right in inside our front door of our cabin were so soggy and rotten it felt like you could fall through them!

Very nice campground in a more central location of the Black Hills. This is the second time we have stayed there. Both times have been great. Very clean with lots of things to do.

Price should reflect the fact that everything was closed for the season.

Clean campground, clean restrooms. Everyone was nice.

Our 2nd time at this KOA. Last year was amazing. This year we arrived on 9/3. A lot of things were closed for the season and seemed like most workers did not want to be there. Complete 180 from last year. Not enjoyable. I understand the season ends on Labor Day, but don’tfeel like it was clearly communicated that events like pancake breakfast would not be offered. Nobody seemed to want to

Awesome place it offers everything you want and or need!! Wish our schedule would have allowed us to stay longer.
Sep 07, 2025
Shop was expensive, everything shut down after Labor Day. Doesn't participate in the Sept 5th free night of camping. I would not have booked this KOA if I knew. Cabin was nice though.
Sep 07, 2025
Nice campground with plenty of amenities for campers of all ages. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Sep 06, 2025
Poor to no WIFI. I was staying during the off season, with not many campers. I imagine during the busy season the wifi is even worse. There are other campgrounds, in Keystone, next time I will stay there
Sep 06, 2025
While the KOA resort seems to have a lot to offer we arrived Sept 2 the day after Labor Day and found most of the “resort” extras closed. No horses to see, stores and snack bars closed. I found this disappointing and aggravating.
Sep 06, 2025
Beautiful park. We got the site with concrete patio ,patio set, and gas grill. Stayed 3 nights and loved it Quiet and convenient. Even rented a car there as we have a motorhome. Staff was awesome. Very kind and helpful
Sep 06, 2025
We have stayed at a lot of different KOAs and this location was amazing and offered so much not just at the KOA but how centrally located to everything within the Black Hills area it is nothing is to far away. Will definitely be coming again if we are in the area
Sep 06, 2025
We arrived on Labor Day to find most amenities closed, and yet we paid full price. It erks me that we booked early so we didn’t get the 3 night promotion that others received. We were looking forward to dinner only to find that the small lunch dinner was offered instead of the full dinner menu. Please deliver on expectations. Location was great but feel we over paid.
Sep 06, 2025
It’s a beautiful campground. Very well maintained. Fun activities for everyone. We stayed here as our home base and traveled to points of interest. Would highly recommend this campground.
Sep 06, 2025
We had a wonderful stay. Would have been perfect if the amenities would have been open. You’ve got a great place. If we are out this way again we will definitely stay again.
Sep 06, 2025
Was surprised by the lack of cell service that prohibited calls and our internet hardware. The Wi-Fi was spotting and difficult to access during half our 4 night stay. The location and staff were great,
Sep 06, 2025
Every employee was a 10! Very helpful and friendly! BUT: you charged us $30 to reserve the same spot we were in and paid top dollar for just 5 days before (or our way back home) , And this spot Was available and your campground was not even 60 percent full that night!! This was highway robbery!! Terrible of you to treat a good customer in this manner!!! You should refund if you care!!

Site was level and had a great view. Would like to have stayed longer, but they weren't able to accommodate us. The 2 sites they had available to stay through the weekend were the worst in the camp ground so we moved on to another KOA.
Sep 06, 2025
Great place to stay! We enjoyed the camp grounds, but we were a little disappointed most everything was closed for the season.

We stayed through the 3rd of September. We were disappointed that some of the amenities were not available on Labor Day. The horses were gone and some of the restaurants/shops were closed. We loved the amenities for for the children. Suggestion is to keep the amenities open for a little longer than Labor Day.

Great amenities! A bit dirty though. Cleaning should be done at certain time schedule. Not while people are using them. Great staff at the registration desk. Friendly and helpful. They all were kind and pleasant to talk with.

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.
