Although this stay, unlike our last, was a few days after the season, my reaction was the same: this would be a GREAT place for a memorable family vacation! Maybe next year.

Absolutely wonderful. It was a shame we were only passing through. The staff was all about us and our needs.

We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed that most of the amenities closed the day after we arrived. We were not made aware of that when we made our reservations. The website only lists that information as “seasonal” which we took to mean spring through fall not just summer.

Great campground with tons to do. I appreciated all the rentals available.

For as much as we paid we should have access to WIFI. The campgrounds says it has WIFI but was not working and always had a very weak signal. We were close to the registration building.

Massive KOA in a beautiful part of South Dakota. In September many amenities were closed, which we weren’t told beforehand. The park was well kept, but the single dog park was small, with a broken gate secured by a chain.

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.
Sep 09, 2025
Beautiful campground! Very nice people working there.
Sep 09, 2025
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
Sep 08, 2025
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.
Sep 08, 2025
Very clean and very helpful staff and yes I have already spread the word about your KOA beautiful place

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.

Awesome place it offers everything you want and or need!! Wish our schedule would have allowed us to stay longer.

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!!

Chris and Kindra were amazing! Top 10 customer service interactions ever! They went above and beyond to help when we needed it. We will definitely be back and continue to recommend!

From the moment we checked in, we had a great experience at the KOA at Palmer Gulch. The front desk staff made a fantastic first impression—they were friendly, welcoming, and took the time to share helpful information and tips about the campground and the surrounding area. Our original campsite wasn't quite what we were expecting, but after sending a quick text to the front desk, they were wonderful to work with and offered another site for us to check out. The new site was a much better fit, and we really appreciated how easy they made the process. We spent some time biking around the campground to get the lay of the land and loved discovering that there were two pools just a short ride from our campsite. We had so much fun enjoying the pools, the Fun Zone, grabbing ice cream, and stopping to say hello to the horses. Next time, we'll definitely be booking a trail ride! The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was spotty at times, but honestly, it wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise wonderful stay. The staff's outstanding customer service and the endless activities made this a memorable campground, and we'd happily stay here again when we're back in the Black Hills.
