Stay was great as always! Pool was very crowded, I wish guests would have wristbands or a card to get into the pool to stop people who are not staying there using the pool.

Top rate service, great staff. Food was great at the Peak, pancake tent always great. We’ll be booking for next summer in January. Best KOA in America!

Great stay! Wish there was a walking path to get to Turtle town etc without being on the very busy road, especially with kids. Would be nice if the main gravel roads were treated to keep dust down

Two night stay. Very nice resort with lots to do. Wish we could have stayed longer.

It was way over crowded, the water pressure was weak, the pools were dirty and we got thirty amp with no sewer.

We enjoyed our time at the campground and activities that day.

All amenities we could ever want, lots of activities and scenery even without leaving the resort.

lots of things to do! if i were in charge i would have someone clean up the landscaping areas so they would be free of weeds, the miniature golf course had rocks all over it, needs to be vacuumed daily or something, but the biggest complaint by far was having to pay $9 for a small bag of ice! really?! great food choices and options!

One of the best KOA locations I have ever visited. Beautiful setting, loads of amenities, clean, well-maintained, and friendly staff. Perfect location for visiting Mount Rushmore.

I would like to acknowledge 2 employees who went above and beyond to make our stay great! Jeff at the check-in desk was so knowledgeable and helpful fixed our reservations so that we were able to camp near our family. Elijah who worked in the fun zone didn’t hesitate to jump on his bike and ride around looking for my 7yo who got lost during a rainstorm. Great staff members deserve kudos.

The campground has a beautiful setting for the price I thought the showers could of been nicer where we were at there was only one that had a toilet and sink in it. But overall it was a nice stay
Jul 20, 2026
Just a few thoughts, getting better wifi and bigger lots would be great. It felt like a parking lot, not a camp ground. But otherwise it was awesome. Clean, friendly and memories made.

We travelled in from Canada and were new to exploring the area. Our family really enjoyed this KOA. We utilized the pools, playgrounds, bathrooms & showers, and even went horse back riding. The stores had everything we needed. I loved that they had everything you needed on the grounds and the staff work so hard to be accommodating and kind. It is well worth the money.

Full hookup availability is limited. It would be nice if there were more available. My greatest concern is the bicycle traffic of children throughout the park at all times of night (even after dark). It is chaos. Bike and walking paths are so needed. The amount of oversized vehicles is great and even with the speedbumps and 10 mph posting everywhere, the potential for injury is huge.

The guests do not obey the speed limit…dangerous!

My best friend’s family and mine came to spend a special weekend together, and we were SO GRATEFUL to Jeff at the front desk for being a problem solver so we could shuffle spots next to each other. All of the employees were very friendly and helpful. Great spot!

My family and I had a fantastic time at Mount Rushmore KOA Resort. My grandkids loved the pool, mini golf, and the horses. Many memories were made.

First time at Palmer Gulch and it did not disappoint! Lots of family activities, very well organized and the registration desk was more than helpful. It's also close to a lot of the attractions. Thank you to Lisa at the front desk for thoroughly explaining and helping us book our stay for next year!

We had a Wonderful stay! The Chuck Wagon Breakfast, Take a Horse to Dinner, and Chuck Wagon Dinner was TERRIFIC!! The Hosts and Cooks were Excellent! We met so many Nice Folks from All over the Country. And the location was perfect: Center of Everything we wanted to see and do! Especially loved the Excitement of the Surprise "Black Hawk" landing across the street during the "Great 250 Celebration"

Beautiful place to with so many different things to do including many different activities for kids. Our only complaint is the young summer staff that’s working. Most of the time they were messing around, throwing out cuss words in front of kids, and staring at their phones while “working”. Other than that complaint the KOA was beautiful.

Great place to stay with kids. So many things for them to do.
Jul 18, 2026
So clean, organized and fun! We are already booking for next year!

We stayed 5 nights to see the monuments and other sights. The campground is very clean and offers a variety of activities for everyone. It is centrally located making our sightseeing easy. I would definitely recommend.

This was our first stay at a KOA. We recently purchased an RV and this was our first big trip. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing our stay was. From the beginning after a very long drive, we met Lenny. He put a smile on our face and had us laughing. He showed us to our site and then was super helpful with great things to do and see. The chuck wagon dinner was beyond yummy. First class show!!

I have been to this KOA 30 years ago and I came back just recently. What a nice location and place. I would like to see more trees planted throughout the campground. Many of the sites have no trees which limits your privacy. Other then the trees I loved the place.
Jul 18, 2026
Great location and tons of ammenities.
Jul 18, 2026
We loved everything about this place. The closeness to Mt. Rushmore made it convenient. Everything was tidy and clean. Every staff person we encountered was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our “truck hauler” trailer when we were leaving and the maintenance personnel got me the items I needed to fix the problem and be on our way to our next KOA campground down in Ogallala Nebra

Fantastic spot for families. Plenty for kids to do, and convenient base for sightseeing. It is a large park and sites are close together. Observe the 5mph limit as children are darting in and out from all directions. I wish my grandson was older so I could take him to this campground. Clean showers, handles on restroom door was falling off. Good restaurant and bar on site. We enjoyed our 2 nights
Jul 18, 2026
Overall we had a great experience. We did notice some unpleasant odors when at the pool at the fun zone. Some of the temporary college age staff also didn’t seem like they really wanted to assist us, mostly at Turtle Town. The bounce pillows closed early due to heat, some shade there would be nice.

We had a family reunion. We stayed in site #193 in the campground and others stayed in an executive lodge. We did this 12 years ago as well. Too much traffic and people going too fast along the road now. It was dangerous with the kids on bikes and electric scooters. Speed bumps are needed from the propane station to the kids area. Food at resort was great. Next time will come in the off-season.

Such a great place. They have everything you need! Communication was great. Everyone was helpful. Two pools, mini golf, playgrounds, clean comfort stations, panning for gold, Grapes and grinds, the laundromat, etc. We loved doing the chuck wagon dinner at the Stables as well! Campsites were clean and people were friendly. They have onsite car, bike, golf cart rentals. Very close to Mount Rushmore.
Jul 17, 2026
Too many people for the facilities. Pools were closed for cleaning all day on a very hot day. Kids were everywhere unsupervised. Kids about 12 were riding other kids in golf carts. Kids on electric bikes speeding by. If you want a quiet relaxing experience camping do not go here. Too loud and busy for us.

Such a beautiful place. Clean, friendly but since it was near the fall season the store was closed.

This jam packed KOA has it all. 2 pools. Waterslide. Playgrounds. Restaurants on the property. Horseback riding. Rodeo. UTV rentals. Lots of activities for the kids. Bounce pillow. It's right down the road from Mount Rushmore. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Cell phone reception is pretty poor, but you can't blame KOA. WiFi is pretty good if you are near their hotspots. There was always KOA employees ripping around, which they should slow down a little bit. We did experience the bees as mentioned by other reviewers. Everyone had a great time and we enjoyed our stay.

Great first experience with KOA! The reservation process was easy, and changing our dates was very convenient. Communication with Dee Dee before arrival was excellent, and check-in was quick and easy. The campground was clean, especially the bathrooms, and all the guests were very respectful. The sites are a little close together, so I would probably avoid the busy summer season. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely stay here again!
