Hot Springs / Black Hills KOA

Clean, quiet campground tucked away in the beautiful Black Hills

Nice campground tucked in the beautiful black hills

What did I love about this KOA? It was quiet. I read and roamed around watching birds and picking up rocks while the kids were occupied with the pool and playing free putt-putt. The owners were very nice and helpful. The cabin was clean and neat with no spiders. The showers and bathroom were neat and clean. Add to that being not-too-far from one of my favorite corners of the planet with so much to offer, a cute little town, the birthplace of the People, and the origin of the Buffalo and you have a great spot.

Great KOA!  We’ll be back

Love this place, great people and wonderful breakfast

Beautiful and quiet

KOAs are not my norm when it comes to camping, but when on a long road trip you often have to find camping based on your location. We gave this campground a shot, and it reaffirmed why I don’t do KOA style camping. There is nothing really wrong with the park, but it did not suit us. Our campsite was a very un-level gravel pad that was within a few feet of the back of cabins. There was little in terms of privacy. The bathrooms were clean and semi conveniently located. I thought the pool would be a treat for my son after spending a couple long hot days of traveling, but it was so cold we couldn’t enjoy the water. The WiFi (another treat for my son) was weak and unusable from our site. The only pro for us was its close proximity to Mt Rushmore, Wind in the Caves, and The surrounding Black Hills sights. 

Not my kind of campground 

Nice campground with good tree cover. Workers are nice. We used for jumping off for Blackhills, Mount Rushmore, and the mammoth site. 

Great place to stay

The restrooms were very clean and have showers. Close proximity to Hot Springs. There were other campers that were quite noisy at night well after quiet time.
