This KOA is like a city in itself! Anything you want or need is there. All the staff we came into contact with were helpful and friendly. Very clean comfort stations.

Its a great place to stay but not all the rules are followed, dogs off leash and quiet times aren't followed

This resort is probably fantastic for a family with children. However, as a retired couple traveling without kids, we found it to be very busy and very noisy. It seemed like there were cars and people on the roads almost all night. Big negative for us was that the sites were so cramped together and the roads were so narrow.

The food a restaurant was not the best could be better

Everything was great but I would really recommend putting the J1s on kid activities as well. They were much more friendly than the local teenagers, and I saw a lot less of their phones. A girl named Sierra was supposed to be leading the bracelets activities and instead me and my husband ended up helping the kiddos because she couldn’t take her nose out of her phone.

The KOA staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. Especially Lenny Handfinger who always greeted me with a smile and asked if I needed anything.

Great place with lots of activities. Could use some updating to facilities. Also alot of the staff do not pay attention to anything they are watching.

We enjoyed the campground, Mike was very helpful and got us ice, etc. We will stay here again.

We were blown away by our stay at Mount Rushmore KOA Resort at Palmer Gulch. While it was just the two of us, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the families and kids. Such a great vibe at this campground and SO MUCH GOING ON!! We actually made the decision to try to book sites for next summer for all five of our adult kids and one grandson to come for a "Christmas in July" family trip.

The amenities were nice to have but the pool & bathroom in the fun zone is dirty, giant checkers is missing pieces, bounce pillow was rarely open, rock wall was rarely open, swing across from us was broken in half, people leave their dog poo everywhere, the dog park has never been maintained grass is super tall, dog poo everywhere I couldn’t even take my dogs in there.

1st time there VERY impressed, from the minute we arrived till departure. “Steve” escorted us to our site and was very friendly and helpful. Lots of things to do with our grandkids. Everyone had fun. We will definitely rerun again next year.

Beautiful campsite, well maintained and well cared for\. The only downside we found was that there were a lot of vehicles driving around, including vehicles belonging to the campsite itself\

Fun unique experience for us. We loved the on site amenities and cleanliness of the place! Thank you.

We had a fabulous time. The only downfall is this campground ruins all other campgrounds for us. We will definitely be back!!

Biggest and busiest KOA we’ve started. Clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots to do. The shops and eateries on the grounds were wonderful.

My son had a blast there. The highlight was the water slide and mini golf. The staff, the activities, the showers/bathrooms were all great. So much to do there, you could never get bored. Some future tips would be pit up mesh on fence by ping pong to keep balls out of jump pillow and add a hottub for adults only. It was always so packed with like 20 people, never got to use it which was a bummer.

Love it as usual. We did the chuckwagon dinner and it was just as amazing as it was last year!
Aug 06, 2026
Couldn’t ask for more to do and see. Staff was great. As with any popular resort, lots and lots of guests

The campground had great activities and facilities, including a rodeo. The place was overrun with kids under 13 riding electric motorbikes and golf carts. As an adult with teenage children it was hard to find a place to relax in the facility.

It has everything families could want to do without leaving the campground. The glow dance party was great . The rocket making launch was so much fun. The horse back riding trip was amazing . From fishing to the jump trampoline , water slides my grandkids didn’t want to leave ,we extended 2 more nights so stayed a total of 7 nights and they never were bored, The pools could be heated more.

We stayed at one of the sites with the patio. The added space between sites was wonderful. We were next to the bath house, which turned out to be an added bonus. We rented UTV for a half day. Should have done full day. Chuck Wagon Dinner Show was great, as was the Rodeo. The Fun area was wonderful, but we didn't have to time to take full advantage. Pizza and Ice-cream were tasty. We will be back!!

We had an awesome 6-night stay. Great location for local sightseeing. Lots of fun amenities for the kiddos and I loved your hot tub at night! Your maintenance crew was amazing- after I got stuck turning around at the rodeo pit, they were so gracious and helpful in getting me out and road-ready for a 650 mile trip home. I didn’t get their names, please thank them for me. See you in the future!!

Fun place with friendly staff. So much to do at the campground. It was great!

we had a great time very friendly staff and a lot to do

This is definitely the nicest most accommodating KOA that we have ever stayed at. We have camped at several and rented cabins at several. You have adequate staff to assist campers and love that you have an on site restaurant. We no longer have small children, but unbelievable what you have to entertain kids. A family could stay here a week and never have to leave the campground.

A lot of people at this KOA! If you are looking for some family time then this is a great place but if you are looking for some quiet time might not be the place. Not a lot of shade at the sites. Overall I would stay here if the whole family will be there. Very close to Mount Rushmore which was nice to see again.

The biggest disappointment was the lack of supplies for the activities (beads for bracelet making, rubber bands for the tye-dying). Also at the mini golf, rocks all over the grass and each hole needed maintenance. While I realize that this takes time and personnel I also realize that we are paying good money for camping at Palmer Gulch. There is still some summer left. Please take this to heart.

Wi-Fi was pretty much nonexistent throughout the campground especially at our site 538. Swimming pools not chlorinated enough. Felt like swimming in everyone else's sunblock. A lot of bees throughout the campground. Never could eat outside. Great playground, great campsite, and fun place for kids.

Great location and the place was so well maintained

Our stay was great. Just be prepared that cell phones don't really work except up by the lodge (which I thought was great because you could really unwind) and the bees were horrible. Several people in our group were stung and only seen on the last day someone spraying for them. We will be visiting again in the future.

Had a great time!! Loved being by the trees for our stay but the sites were a little uneven for our campers. The restrooms were clean and that is a huge plus. Thank you for the kindness at check in. We will go again.
Aug 03, 2026
Wonderful stay again. Would be nice if the resort made some attempt to control the yellow jackets. They are out of control. Everyone in my family was stung multiple times. Could not even go outside with food. Other than that,love the resort and we will be back.

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!
