As anyone would expect being practically next door to some of America's top sites, tent and RV placement is close but sufficient and comfortable, 8 or 9. Everything else is a clear 10 - especially cleanliness, service and related facilities! Stay and enjoy!

Nice resort if you don’t have Verizon as your cell phone carrier or expect to use your personal WiFi. Campground WiFi not much better.

Lovely property! Only complaint was the weak Wi-fi signal.

Very friendly and helpful staff. However, they closed down 1 of the laundry locations and with a still pretty full campground was hard to get use of washers and dryers. Very tight camping spots. However, was a great central location to everywhere we wanted to go.

Probably the nicest KOA facility that we have stayed at.

Great location, no amenities that had been advertised are open during stay. No communication when booking the stay that the amenities are closed. Not a good way to do business.

We have a 5th wheel 36 ft not including truck and the spot they put us on was extremely tight. No help from the guy on the golf cart going fast to guide us to our spot going up hills with a long bed and trailer was helpful. Quiet hours are a joke cause our neighbors sure didn’t care with all the late night hours up and being packed in you hear everything. Place was clean and good location.

We enjoyed our stay. However, would recommend a few possible ideas for others. When we stayed, many of the features of the campground were closed for the season. It'd be nice for a break in the rates, as the advertised amenities were not available. Also, the showers had no hot water!! Who likes to take a shower in cold water?? Not a great way to start the day.

Extremely Noisy. Location is everything in this KOA. We were not in a good location.

Perfect location. There needs to be some gravel added to spot we were in.

What an incredibly beautiful campgrougn and so well maintained! I am thouroughly impressed with the cleanliness and so many ammenities available. I didn't care for how close vicinity the pull-thrus were in the area that we stayed but overall, I would recommend this campgrond and anticipate the next time we can stay there.

Absolutely a beautiful campsite very clean, lots to do for everyone, saw plenty of people walking their dogs on leashes and picking up after the dogs really really nice place. The staff is also very very accommodating and nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is the prettiest and most well arranged koa we have stayed at so far! It was helpful, when we checked in after dark, to have a gentleman on a side by side lead us to our campsite. The site was very level and there was plenty of space to maneuver our RV. We will definitely recommend to others!

I was expecting all of the KOA amenities to be open during my whole stay however I was informed at check-in that the resort amenities end on Labor Day. In reality, not everything shut down. I found out from other guests that 1 pool remained open. The biggest complaint was KOA employees did not seem to be on the same page about seasonal closures and reduced pool hours after Labor Day.

Would of been nice to at least see the pizza and ice cream facility open. Laundry room was disgusting. The cost to wash was more then all the other koa we have stayed at. Dryers never worked. Paid more t veo dry then to wash. Shower house #2 wasn't very clean, no hot water.

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful KOA. It's so convenient to MT. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial.

Location great! Campground is clean and lots of shaded sites.

4 night stay at Palmer Gulch-lovely resort, lots to do and close to all local attractions. Sites are close but well maintained and it didn’t bother us at all.

Clean park, great staff. Too bad we arrived the day after all the amenities closed. Had an issue with a late arriving pkg, staff made arrangements to have it forwarded to me, above and beyond. That’s why most of our campgrounds are KOA

This place was incredible! The staff were all so kind and friendly, The multiple restroom/shower facilities were nice. Some upkeep is needed on the plumbing in those buildings though. This was perfect for us as we rolled in with an RV and then could rent a car for the day.

Your staff is very friendly and accommodating. Campground has so much to offer and very well kept! We will definitely be back!!!

It was very crowded. They crammed as many people in any open space. It was Awful. Plus they are open until 30 September, but all the facilities were closed. Could not enjoy any thing. Will not be back or recommended It to anyone.

Short 2 night stay. Enjoyed MT Rushmore and hiked up to Black Elk Peak. Also enjoyed Polkapaloosa. Was a bit dissatisfied that your restaurant and pub were close already for the season. But it was a nice stay.

The staff were super friendly & helpful. Great location of the campground as well. Numerous nice playgrounds. Wish they’d keep the restaurants & coffee places open until the end of the season as we would have loved to utilize those amenities & it was still nice out. Only down fall was how small a lot of the sites are. We weren’t even able to put our awning out because it’d be over the firepi

We spent a week here in the summer, and had a really great experience. We loved the stable and we enjoyed the pool. The best part was that our 9-year-old, an only child, was able to go and play with other kids every day. He played chess, basketball, miniature golf, and Gaga ball, and had a wonderful time. We also appreciated the proximity to Jewel Cave and Mount Rushmore. I want to express my great appreciation for Jeff from Guest Services. One night some older kids showed up to play Gaga ball and my son got hurt and was scared of the big kids who were playing rough. Jeff showed up to help, tracked down the big kids (they actually ran away at first and he had to RUN after them to track them down!), counseled my son more than once to help him not be scared about talking to them, got the big kids to apologize and talked to their parents without being punitive or mean in any way, and overall just did a really great job. The staff here in general is great but Jeff super impressed my entire family.
