The stay was great.

My 9th or 10th stay at the Rushmore KOA and it’s always memorable. However, since the first stay in 2011, the prices at the Pancake Tent have increased significantly while the quality has fallen significantly.

No control on underage children on motorized vehicles. Numerous incidents of close call and observed falls. Will not return

Awesome location for the Mount Rushmore but there were millions of wasps (yellowjackets) around, it was impossible to sit outside with a drink at any time without constant harassment from the little yellow blighters!!

We are return campers, we enjoy staying here. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Our only concern this year is, what happened to the rainfall shower heads? We were disappointed that they weren't there. Hopefully, you'll put them back.

One of my favorite campgrounds! The surroundings are breathtaking, nestled in the Black Hills- a short distance from Mt. Rushmore. The staff are friendly and I love that there are places to eat on the grounds, a wonderful store and things to do.

Whole park in a low spot. No internet signal. Park wifi didnt work. We were parked in the back by a large field. People let their dogs run loose. Some didnt pick up after them

the staff are super friendly and take care of everything. You don't even have to take out the trash, just set it out and it disappears. The pups loved the dog park too!

You need rock everything was really muddy.

Loved the park and the workers. We would likely time it outside of the Sturgis Bike celebration next time. It was very busy in and around the campground. That said, kudos to the staff for expertly managing the volume of traffic and the thunderstorms! Bathrooms were immaculate - cleanest I’ve seen in years! Only reason not a 10/5 was the volume of traffic.

Everything was just fine. I had aRV site but tent camped in the same spot as always. Bathrooms were nice and clean, food was also good. It was very dry but mother nature has to help with that. Already booked again for next years rally.

It's a very large park...I had minimal interaction with admission, but they were very professional. Never spoke with management.But that's a good thing.. Wherever I went , everywhere was clean , clean clean..

We had a great time. Everything was clean and organized.

The staff was absolutely fantastic! However the site we were in was a bit hard to get into and out of. But overall the kampground and its amenities are wonderful! It’s really great if you have kids!
Aug 13, 2026
It has lots of fun things for the kids to enjoy!! Overall it was an amazing campground and would've given it a 5 star except for the showers. They had lots of mold in them.

This is the perfect location and family friendly place! Everyone was super nice!

The yellow jackets terrorized my kids and us the whole stay, also I had to pay for some of the kid’s activities which are free at other KOA’s.
Aug 12, 2026
Beautiful resort and campground. So many things for kids to do. Had a great time on the Trail Ride. Lilian and Chloe were awesome. We also really enjoyed the water slide and put put golf.

This was our 1st time to stay at Palmer Gulch KOA. We stayed 5 nights. While staying there we wished we were able to stay more nights just to continue in joying the amenities available there. The grounds were well cared for with lots of opportunities. I have already recommended friends to stay at Palmer Gulch in the future. We also hope to return soon,

The only problem we had, and I know you couldn't stop it, was while we walked across in the grass my wife steped in a pile of dog crap.
Aug 12, 2026
Every year we keep coming back here, it's always our favorite vacation! Because of all the amenities you offer and the great service from everyone we run into. Thank you for making so many improvements every year from the new pool, playgrounds and tiled bathrooms! Thank you for all the wonderful memories you've given us here every year, you are the BEST KOA in the USA!

KOA Palmer Gulch is a 5 star campground. Bathrooms and showers were super clean. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Tons of activities for kids - pools, slide, mini golf, parks, bikes. We had a blast!

Amazing stay! We rented a camper through RVshare. Between our hosts, and the campground, it was an amazing family vacation. The only downside was the bees were soooooooo bad and made it difficult to eat outside! But hey, save the bees! The older pool was chilly so we swam at the pool by the hotel. The hot tub is a great touch. The evenings were so fun in the kid zone.

We loved it here. So much for the grandkids to do. The one thing we didn’t like were the showers. They were dirty and full of hair.

Everything good except moto noise - not a good weekend to stay because of big event at Sturgis. Otherwise plenty to do, warm days, cool nights, no rain.

Aside from the bees, it was great!

Checked out early. Wasps were terrible. Sites were packed with very little room, urban camping. Very expensive and crowded. Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Pools were packed. Not my kind of camping. :(
Aug 10, 2026
We had an issue with where we were initially located, but that was adjusted and changed seamlessly. Team was accommodating and super kind. The staff were all so helpful and on top of things!

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!
