RV Reviews

We enjoyed the location and playgrounds. Not having cell service is a safety issue though.

It was great! Very accommodating! People friendly. Thank you so much!

Very expensive and crowded. The workers were nice and facilities were good, but a lot of money for what it was.

This campground is huge and lots of things for kids. Very close to Mt. Rushmore.But the site was too small for what we told them we had. Also they charged us $25 per day for a tent, although their website and all their brochures say you’re allowed one RV and a tent. When asked for their policy I was told “that’s just what they do”. Afraid I’d get put out I paid it but will be perusing it

33 ft motorhome you put me in a 25 ft space. Changed it to other side of creek on a hill. Could not level rv. Got changed again to a next door one. Slightly better. Water spigot did not work. Water sprayed everywhere, got soaking wet. Had to use more hose to another spigot which worked. Called you for 2 months wanting a rental car, never could talk to anyone. Just a menu list. Terrible service.

We spent two nights here and loved it! We used this as our base camp to explore the area and tour Mt. Rushmore. There are so many things to do here, I can see where someone would never need to leave! The bathrooms were clean and nice and the showers were amazing.

Only stayed 2 days but enjoyed.

We were at Palmer Gulch 30 years ago and loved it, and this stay was even better! The staff is friendly and helpful. And with all the activities, it's your own fault if you get bored! It was SOOOOO nice that once 10 pm hit, the property got super quiet! If we ever plan another trip to the area, we will ABSOLUTELY stay at Palmer Gulch again!

It’s a huge resort with lots to do with kids. But the sites are way too small and close together. Water pressure is awful. Beautiful area but would probably stay in a different campground next time we’re in the area.

We loved it! Only down side is the fire pit and the wood was so Smokey.

Big park lots to do. Stayed in 2 sites, a back in by the park, very nice but closer together than the pull through up front of the park. The staff was friendly efficient and helpful. It’s a busy park but plenty of quiet spots too.

The staff was very kind and helpful, the amenities were bountiful and our site was clean! Thank you! Thank you!

Your campgrounds are wonderful! We love that you had several different stores and lots of activities going on. We enjoyed listening to the music by the ice cream store both nights that we were there. Our RV spot was wonderful with this cement pad for the table barbecue and slider bench. It was also fantastic that it was the closest RV spot to mount rushmore!

Lots of fun things to do. We were mostly out and about so we didn’t get to enjoy the activities too much but there is a lot offered to keep you busy. Or sure was a decent size, more room than some other KOAs we’ve been to. We were up on the hill in the trees and it was gorgeous. Kids loved all the different playgrounds that had and the pancake breakfast in the mornings was awesome!

Amazing stay. Everyone was easy to work with and nice. The park is huge and has lots of stuff to do

We need to evaluate the campsite before committing. Some sites are better than others. Overall a very nice experience

Little to crowded for me but a beautiful campground. Only a few miles from Mount Rushmore. The chuck wagon dinner was awesome. They have a horse stable that is well staffed with trained employees.

Very nice campground. One of the nicest we’ve stayed at. Plenty of things for the kids to do. Only complaint would be how to close together the sites are.
Jul 14, 2025
Great campgrounds
Jul 14, 2025
I will be back. It was a cool environment.
Jul 14, 2025
The location and scenery is gorgeous. The camp was just a little too large for me. I rented a car while there and for the price, the car was in bad shape and should be replaced soon. Other than that, the stay was nice.

Super kid orientated! Great! But the Lots are ridiculously small. No space for your truck, bikes, lawn games or pets. Bike path is too small. And our lot 23 was complete mud. It needs rock. The staff is great but after 3 nights we were ready to be less crowded.
Jul 14, 2025
Always a pleasure to stay here! Staff is friendly abd lots of activities for the kids!!!!! It’s my daughters favorite vacation spot!!
Jul 14, 2025
Lots to do for the kids but hot tub and waterslide were broke down for the majority of the stay so having to walk to the other end of the park to use the other pool and hot tub was a bit much for littles legs. There should also be a walking path as we witnessed numerous walkers about get hit bit drivers on the main road.

We would love to see the restaurant upgraded. It was the one thing that didn’t seem up to “resort” standard.
Jul 14, 2025
Our site was on the small side. The site needed gravel. It was muddy. The Wi-Fi was practically non existent.

We have been here several times, upon our arrival for a week or campsite was not mowed and weeds all around the fire pit area was very disappointing. We went up to ask about getting this fixed and Jennifer, I believe the manager, immediately told us that if we didn't like it we could leave. So so very rude. Not willing to find a resolution, but just that we could leave.

I've been camping for over 30 years and the spot I had at Mount Rushmore has to be the worst camping spot ever. It was difficult to get out of the spot. Only good thing was that there was no camper across from me, so I actually was able to maneuver my 43 ft. motorhome out of that spot. I will never recommend that KOA campsite to anyone. Very disappointing.

4th time we have come to stay. Love it there and find something new to do in the area every time.

Too full camera on top of eachother and too many dogs. One girl had 5 dogs. Come on 5. Then parking was horrible. Vehicles everywhere. Also the cheaper pads need gravel and all the roads should be paved. All in all good experience. We had hores too. That was good too.

So close to Mt. Rushmore which is a must do both day & night. Reserved a pull thru site for a 44ft 5th wheel trailer, the site was about 4 feet too short, the trailer stuck out into the roadway. Within about 45 minutes they assigned another site, trailer fit, parking the truck was a tight fit. Calling the check-in staff when reserving is advised. Lots to do here! Felt like a resort & best KOA yet!
Jul 13, 2025
THE most fabulous KOA we have been too. So much to see and do. The first time was 1988 when our children were small. Then again 1995 a graduation trip for our oldest son. Now 2025, we are retired and decided to travel here again. We love the improvements and looking forward to coming back again.
Jul 13, 2025
Great in just about every way.
Jul 12, 2025
Great place, lots to do. Only complaints, poor cell service and too few washers and dryers.
Jul 12, 2025
We have stayed here now 3rd time! The location is amazing but the site was very unlevel! First time at a KOA without a perfect level site! Your facility is amazing and great playgrounds and pools!
Jul 12, 2025
Beautiful area, be ready to pay premium on everything. Second time staying, people drive way to fast and kids are everywhere.
Jul 12, 2025
The stay was excellent. My only wish was that the campsites were a bit bigger.
Jul 12, 2025
Everyone was very friendly and helpful
Jul 12, 2025
It is a nice campground, but the site I was assigned is definitely not made for a 40’ fifth wheel or large motorhome. I had to back out up the hill to even make it out. If you didn’t have four wheel drive, you would t make it.

A great family stay! We loved our cabin - clean, comfortable, and perfect with kids. So many activities, food options, and amenities that we spent a lot of time enjoying the resort. Also a great location to access so many other attractions in the area.
