Hot Springs / Black Hills KOA

Spent one night here to break up drive from Yellowstone back to Chicago suburbs. 

The staff was super friendly. The facilities were cleaner than other KOAs we had been to. The camp store was reasonably priced. After a stormy last day at Yellowstone, it was nice to stay somewhere with clean showers and working laundry. 

We had a nice quiet night sitting around our fire, eating a pizza from the camp store, and recharging before long drive home the next day.

This can barely be called a campground. Definately glamping on crack. But, if you're on a long road trip and need a place to shower, this place has showers. And food. Too expensive IMO.

Stopped on the way back to Colorado after visiting Mt Rushmore and Wind Cave NP. This is your classic KOA. Sites are close together, but there are trees so it’s not super sunny and hot. We stayed in a Camping Cabin, and it was exactly like you’d expect. Bathrooms are fairly clean, people were respectful of quiet hours, and the laundry room and dish washing sink is nice to have on a long road trip. Pretty good option if you’re passing through or need a break from the no-showers variety of national forest/park campgrounds. Most KOAs are pretty predictable and this one meets the standard.
