Campground Reviews

You guys need to get your WiFi figuired out. It was very spotty. With no reception it was a pain in the butt. Other than that we loved it

We experienced a vicious hail storm and cut our stay short to get a new windshield put in our motorhome. We VERY appreciative that we were able to cancel our last night with no penalty. Thank you! This was our second stay there and love this place!

So much to do for the kids but your pool was gross! So foggy could not see anything. The pool is the one attraction my kids look forward to at any campground. Invest in some shock!

Very nice and helpful staff. A very, very big park, with tons of rigs, dogs, kids and kid stuff to do. Not at quiet park, (we did enjoy the DJ/music at the wedding event). The location is excellent. On our next trip we want to attend a Rodeo.

- Issues with internet, not able to connect. + Showers and comfort station great. - Restaurant not opened. - no flexibility on renting ATVs. - Coffee shop opens at 8am, too late.

Horse stable is a huge draw, wish pool was bigger to accommodate crowds, cute clean cabin.

Our fire ring was in an awful place which made it hard to use. They said they had wifi but it was very weak. It’s an awesome place for kids though and I’d definitely recommend for families. No Verizon service either. Aside from the disastrous hail storm though, we had a good stay.

Thot we’d booked cable, found only for high priced sites. No restaurants open. Very pricey for very little

It was a wonderful stay until the hail storm caused significant damage to our RV and truck.

Very large KOA with activities and places to eat on site. It has mountain views. Be prepared to be very close to your neighbors! We have a 41' 5th wheel and there was barely room for the camper. We had to park the truck in our grassy area so we only had a place to put two chairs. They charge an amenities fee which I didn't agree with, we had NO cell signal, and THEIR WI-FI DOES NOT WORK!

Lack of dependable internet was a real problem, especially since there was no phone service. We had to leave the site to call our insurance company after the catastrophic hail storm. Gravel roads are pot hole obstacle course. Pluses were the laundry, Mount Rushmore at night bus and the snack bar

I loved this campground. The people that worked here are so nice and professional. This was my first time hooking up electricity and water. The gentleman who worked here showed us where to go, stayed and talked us through. He was wonderful. I definitely will be back despite the ugly hailstorm that came through.

SUPER DISAPPOINTED! Stayed here for our 10 Year wedding anniversary. DONT STAY IN NUMBER 202. Kitchen sink drips constantly, broken window wands, dirty blinds, filthy window frames, the front door had a 1 1/2 gap under it. We paid $350 + per night and this is what we got. I think you pay for the scenery. We should of had a clean room and it should of been maintained for that kind of money.

We pick KOAs for their level of service and amenities. Given the expense of this campground, I would have expected better infrastructure. The wifi was non existent except near the office and no cable. You need to invest in upgrades of this type. Also need to enforce the rules. Had someone's quad partially parked on our site not far from our door.

Please put more money and effort into wifi, water pressure, cable tv (they say there is cable, but only in a select very few sites, watch the fine print) and training staff. Workers exceeded campground speed limit constantly. Other for rent vehicles speeding around constantly. If you have teens you want to keep busy, there are many activities.

Facilities are really nice. Lack of cell phone service and internet would prevent me from recommending.

Great atmosphere with plenty of family activities. A fun time was had by all.

Our site was unsuitable and UNSAFE for a rig of our ur size. We told the golf cart guide who took us to site but he just said “call the office” which would have done except we had not cell signal or phone number for office. Site was unlevel even after put down over 12” of jacks. We’re extremely lucky not to roll with our car trailer and coach when leaving. Paid for sewer but didn’t get

Friendly people, clean grounds

The website said cable, not, just 7 antennae with poor quality and after a hail storm, only 3 channels for the next 3 days. We were on the road to the shop, everywhere it is posted 10mph but it must not be for the staff. No cell or internet service and may just be my carrier but I'm 2300 miles into this trip and have not had any trouble and have had them for almost 20 years without problems.

We were located directly next to shower house and trash dumpster so we saw LOTS of foot traffic and heard LOTS of noise all hours of the day and night. Lots of amenities for family fun. Pull through spots a little short for truck and fifth wheel.

Everything was great here. WiFi signal didn’t work at our site, but we were pretty far from the office. Showers and bathrooms were clean enough.

The customer service was great. The amenities were plentiful, with lots of choices. Clean campground a d lots of things to do. Loved having the occasional restaurant meal choices.
Sep 01, 2021
We had an excellent stay just wish the restaurant was open as well.

Great park, lots to do here. The only downside was it was full
Sep 01, 2021
Cabin was dirty. Everyone around was smoking pot 24 hours each day.

My grandkids enjoy the koa, they hate when we have to leave. It is a very friendly place. We can not wait tell the new pool is open next year.
Sep 01, 2021
The bathrooms were unclean. They stated that regular periodic cleanings were occurring during the day, but we didn't see that to be the case at two different bathrooms. The showers were disgusting and shower curtains ripped and mildewed.

Loved the friendly service and pancakes

Great KOA! Lots to do and great location!
Sep 01, 2021
We thought the shower curtains could be changed once a week to make it look much better otherwise the bath house was fine.
Sep 01, 2021
Had a great experience with the KOA itself. The extreme hail storm and the damage caused by it on the other hand was unpleasant, as we came back to the camper from visiting Mount Rushmore to a soaked matress.

Enjoyed the water slide (when it was working), pool, splash pad, playground. Beautiful area. Clean and well kept. Great cabin. Would appreciate more and better quality activities.
Aug 31, 2021
Awesome! Kids had tons of fun and the campground was great. Lots to do and the patio campsites are the best.
Aug 31, 2021
Probably the best KOA we’ve stayed in! Very family oriented. Only regret is that our kids are grown! We would have loved to have been able to bring them here. One recommendation though: would recommend they put some speed limit signs up. Lots children running around with cars, and atv’s zipping down roads.

This is the place to camp if you have kids to keep entertained. The bathrooms and showers were clean and welcome. Well stocked store, onsite car rental, shuttle to Mount Rushmore and all you can eat pancake breakfast. We recommend the horseback ride and Cowboy Dinner as it was the highlight of our visit. There is NO meaningful cell phone or internet coverage.

Excellent facility, location and staff!!
Aug 31, 2021
Very nice staff and amenities, however, the total lack of cellular service in the area and the very spotty Wi-Fi makes it nearly impossible to get work done on the road if needed or research local sites to see. Most RV sites are very close together as well. Great music acts and boardwalk area at the front. Love the horse stables and rides.
Aug 31, 2021
Nice facility. Check in staff inside not very friendly.
Aug 31, 2021
We loved our stay and all the amenities at Palmer Gulch. Only comments are - There could be a few more bathrooms ( got so busy in the mornings) and sites were a bit tight. We had a great tome and loved the entertainment and all that was available. Bus to Mount Rushmore was also so convenient. Would definitely recommend and stay here again! Thanks! All the staff were so friendly!
Aug 31, 2021
Staff was great. Loved the option to rent the UTV and car. Little to no access to wifi was disappointing. The showers definitely need an overhaul.
Aug 31, 2021
If the camp grounds had a little more privacy it would get 5 stars. But the stay was beautiful and fun and accommodating and I loved it.
Aug 31, 2021
Just far too many people people on top of people...pool was filled to.the hilt...thought well at least the hot tub is an adult area...13 children in it...the location for my Rushmore and crazy horse is perfect...the direction gos gave were knuckle binding driving with an RV ....I think political flags and agendas should be stopped...it took from the beauty of getting away from.it all.

We loved all the activities. Great atmosphere and just all around awesome place.

We dry docked for the night since they are closed for the season. This KOA is very beautiful with deer coming right up to the front door.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nites, and it was Phenomenal. A beautiful Resort atmosphere and even though it was at the very end of the season, every one there was very helpful and especially Becky. She is so knowledgeable about the area. I worked for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and I would hire here in a heartbeat to work with. KOA is very fortunate to have employees of this caliber.

This KOA is in a perfect location and would love to stay here again. We rented a glammed cabin which is just a upgrade from their simple cabins but well worth it in my opinion. Your cabin already comes with bedding, a mini fridge, microwave, outdoor grill and table and chairs. You have a beautiful view of the woods and the campground itself has so many activities. You're right in the middle of the black forest, custer state park and Mt Rushmore. I will definitely be staying there again.
