Mount Rushmore KOA at Palmer Gulch
Reviewed Jul. 12, 2021

Great for kids

Very large campground with a lodge and amenities. Large camp store with necessities, food, camping supplies, and souvenirs. We came in on Saturday which was loud and busy. We ordered food from their take out restaurant which was very poor quality. The fudge shop had a great latte the next morning. Unfortunately their restaurant was closed due to lack of ability to hire workers from the pandemic. The pancake tent had decent, quick breakfast food.

The kids loved the small, cold water slide as did I. There is also mini golf, a pool, splash pad and variety of games for free as well as scheduled activities, sone with a fee. We made marshmallow guns and rented bikes too. You could rent all terrain vehicles and golf carts. The latter required reservations a day in advance and were in short supply since the campground is so large.

The bathrooms and showers were decent and clean.

It’s nice and the kids would stay again. It was quiet enough in an RV.

We did think that the way the “ shuttle” was stated there was one throughout the day. There is only one at night.

There are too many items to list. I liked it a lot but we were hoping for better food to buy to make or purchase as this was day 6 and 7 of our journey.
