Best KOA i have bee at so far. Fantastic location with many onsite amenities. Kids love it.

We were there over the 4th of July weekend and although our initial plans were not possible teh Palmer Gulch KOA is very nice for a family with kids. There is a shortage of adult things to do outside the pool and hot tub. The kids will have a blast. Was severely POd that cell phone service doesn't exist and WiFi access is next to useless; why post emergency numbers when nobody has cell service.

Very family friendly clean and lots of activities

It is a great location, a clean/well maintained and lots of activities taking place each day. Onsite restaurant, ice cream place and general store. The live music was nice in the evening. The only thing I would recommend is to have either a paved road to the back area or some more gravel on the road. Our site also needed a little more gravel. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Palmer Gulch KOA was great! It was like family camp! The grounds were clean and bustling with fun activities for all ages. The staff were friendly and always available, creating a safe and welcoming environment. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Very expensive

Totally kid friendly with lots of things to do but the sites are TINY. When you make reservations you expect that your camper and your tow vehicle will fit but when you have to park your tow vehicle on the grass there’s nowhere to sit outside. I’m a KOA member but I’m pretty much done with camping on top of my neighbor.

Excellent location for seeing Mt. Rushmore, Custer SP and surrounding areas in one of the nicest KOA’s at and affordable price.

This campground is absolutely amazing. Staff is phenomenal, very kind and helpful. The camping sites are very well maintained and clean. Kids play area is outrageous. Very clean laundry rooms. All you can eat pancakes for $3.50 made freash every morning. Great restaurant on site. The amenities go on.

Mount Rushmore KOA Resort at Palmer Gulch is in my top 10 vacation resorts so far. So many amenities to choose from. The resort is spotless as well.

Very nice facility. Had no idea it was that huge and lots to do.

It was wonderful! Stayed 4 nights. Close to all the sites. Listened to music and had a glass of wine. It’s amazing place. Wish all loss were like this one! Thank you.

We have camped at Palmer’s Gulch many times over the past 20+ years! Everytime it better than before. I really appreciated the WiFi. Thank you and we will see you next year!

Very very good

Overall, our short stay was good. Plenty of staff to assist & monitor amenities for kids (jumping pillow & water slide, etc). Unfortunately, the weather limited our use of the amenities. The stables were a highlight. Our site was tucked away from everything on the side of the property. Although not ideal for us as it was a long walk to restroom/showers. Wifi was unusable. Still a beautiful place!

I loved the campgrounds. Very clean had lots to do. Highly recommend chuck wagon dinner. However I would not eat at the restaurant on the hill. Terrible food and worse service.

Our stay was not good. The 1st site we were given didn’t work. It may have been technically long enough for our rig, but it was between a tree and a building and on very narrow roads, making it impossible to get into. We could get into the 2nd site, but it was so small we could not sit outside comfortably. The staff was great, as were activities for kids, which we don’t have. Way too stressful

Very clean and organized operation! Close to several points of interest, lots of activities for the whole family!

Stayed for 6 days Great location for area sightseeing. Campground was too crowded and spaces too tight.

we love this place. your cleaning workers and hrounds workers do a great job with cleaning pools, bathrooms a d all flowers re beautiful. My grandsons loved the breakfast wagon ride and the worker's were so friendly, they especially loved riding the horses. This is our second year in a row. we will be back traveled from Colorado.

This is a kid’s paradise. Perfect in every way except one thing: gravel RV pads. If the premium RV pads were concrete or asphalt, this would be the crème de la crème..

What a wonderful camp and full of amenities. Staff are so nice and professional.

Enjoyed every minute of it!!!!

Made reservation for a site a year in advance and our site sucked. $91.00 a night for a site that wasn’t worth $50. We were 3 feet from our neighbor, couldn’t sit outside at night because we were right under a street light. The ATV’s run rampant. If you want a peaceful stay, enjoy nature, run the other way. If we were shown our assigned site before paying $455 we would have cancelled our sta

Very clean and great service!!! A lot of activities to do in camp alone. Close to Mt Rushmore and they rent side by sides on-site for trails!!! Close to Custer State park, Hill city, and Keystone!!

Wonderful stay. This KOA has it all - two pools, waterslide, horseback riding, winery, coffee, restaurant, etc., plus it's located near all the major Black Hills attractions! The staff was amazing and were everywhere. Our kids didn't want to leave. Thank you!

Employee were knocking to get in while we were in the shower at 8am. Then another employee started spraying bathroom counter top and a family member had to stand far away to wash her hands after using the toilet. The office staff were friendly and helpful. The manager made it right after a mishap with our the reserved site. I would stay here again

It was what summer dreams are made of for all kids. Mine range from 3-16 years old and each one had a blast with lots of things to do. The campgrounds are clean and enjoyable. The staff was amazing.
Jul 07, 2026
Enjoyed our stay and the chuck wagon dinner show. A recommendation would be more dump stations for those without sewer hookup. All Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall great stay.

This is a nice campground -- the space between the RV's is adequate and the grill and chairs were great. We did go on the churck wagon dinner event and it was fantastic - overall the stay rates a 9/10 ---We would stay here again.

Wonderful resort. My family had a time. We made reservations to be back next year for Fourth of July.

We stay at KOA campgrounds 90% of the time. This campground is now our favorite of all time. There is so much to do. Although we're retired, we enjoyed all the kids playing together, actually communicating, with no cell phones. Great place for families. They have every rentals you can think of, from bikes to cars.
Jul 07, 2026
Amenities were good. Restaurant food and service as well as food court areas were bad. Great facilities for young families but too big and busy for couples

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!
