RV Reviews

Lots of amenities, 2 swimming areas, horse back rides and ATV rentals right at the resort. Lots for the kids to do. Good food at the restaurant. Downside, sites on top of each other. We were squeezed into a site that really wasn't big enough for our unit. Luckily we were with friends and we used their site for a camp fire as our slide blocked our pit. Saw several big units having issues.

Timing for cleaning bathrooms was not good, camping spot 25 is very small and not much room even for a pop up camper. Firewood price is a little high for the amount of wood given in a bundle.

Staff not helpful at all. Cute coffee shop amd not one staff member listens when you order, and poor English spoken. Flies where horrible. Rude campers, for being a big koa no rules are enforced.

Staff was helpful and kind. So many activities for all members of the family! Can't wait to stay at Palmer Gulch again!

It is to big and noisy. Kids driving golf carts and electric bikes everywhere I just about got ran over by a 3 year old with training wheels on his electric bike. Not to mention our neighbor opening up his slide out in front of our only door to our rv. Fun times NOT

The stay was great! Staff was friendly and helpful! The showers, however, were disgusting and small. Every time we used them they were dirty and moldy.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and laundry room and showers need to be better cleaned and maintained. Need better exit signs and directions on dump station and propane from the 400 campsites area. Would be nice to have better Wi-Fi coverage. Nice scenic area beautiful views.

What an amazing place!! We loved every moment. The kid zone is amazing and my children had a blast! The amenities, food options, facilities, and staff were top notch. This is the best KOA we have ever been to!

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!!
Jul 26, 2023
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

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

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.

This campground is awesome for everyone. We have been coming here for 5 years now at least one time year usually in August. We have 4 kids from age 5 to 15 and they all love it here. It has 2 pools playgrounds volleyball horseback riding utv rentals bike rentals restaurants ice cream shop small store for groceries and camping stuff wine shop and the kids love to play with all the other kids there. We don't have a camper so we stay in the cabins and they work great for the 6 of us. They have multiple bathrooms and shower house throughout the grounds to use and a laundry mat there. We never had any problems staying here and will keep coming back every year. There is a lot of things to do within an hour drive also. I would definitely recommend this place for people with kids of all ages.
