Devils Tower

The Best Camping Near Devils Tower, Wyoming

There is basically two trails, one that goes directly around the tower and one that is a more distant loop around the tower. The inside loop is very crowded with people, but it's still worth the hike.

Impressive but very crowded

We loved this campground.  It was at the gate to the park, had great views, and they show 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' every night, outside with the tower in the background.   Very cheesy but very cool.   The campground is nice, not a lot of open space between each spot, but it did not feel overly tight.  

If you came to see Devils Tower this is the place to stay.  

Great little campground close to the monument. All the modern amenities. They also offer cabin rentals which is nice if you dont want to bring all your gear or weather the elements. Personally we prefer a more rustic state/national park style campground.  Next time we visit devils tower we'll be making the short drive from Custer.

Great amenities just not for us

We stayed here when the more “rustic” campgrounds were full in the middle of summer. We don’t usually stay at KOAs so it was a nice surprise that they had a tent area that wasn’t like a theme park. The cabins along the river looked really nice. Everything was nice and clean and they had stores and restaurants. The views of Devil’s Tower were great though most sites don’t have a view, but the crowded facilities were still worthwhile. Personally we’d still prefer to stay at a state park. 


Crowded resort-y

Devil's Tower KOA has an incredible view and is adjacent to the Devil's Tower National Monument Entrance.

Lovely KOA with all the KOA amenities, one bathroom/showerhouse in great shape and the other under renovation. They have a pool and playground and of course had a showing of 'Close Encounters'. The camping cabin we stayed in was clean and comfortable with AC and heat available. The view of the tower from the cabin was stunning.

I was very impressed with the trees and space between sites in this KOA - quarters were not as tight as we sometimes see. An excellent KOA.

The Devil's Tower area is a beautiful lanscape, with deep native roots. When in the area please respect it and learn about the stories and traditions of its caretakers.

Devil's Tower KOA

Easy access to devils tower to beat the crowds. Stay away from the playground up front, it attracts a ton of kids.

Excellent view.

We stayed here for just a night but this spot really won my heart. Open space, clean showers and facilities, a cute cafe and even a gift shop. But nothing beat that gorgeous view of the Tower right from the comforts of our own tent. Then hiking around Devil's Tower the rest of the day was icing on the cake. Definitely my best KOA experience, hands down.

That view out your tent

It’s ridiculously close to Devils Tower. Literally right outside of the park. They’ve got full amenities when they’re open. The pool and restaurant weren’t open because they were still in the process of opening and getting ready for official opening on May 11th. That being said, I didn’t pay full price because of it. Deer roam the camp ground in the morning and evening. You’re gonna have a GREAT view of Devils Tower. The staff are great and always strive to make sure you have a great time when you’re there. Definitely worth staying here.

4 Days Of Exploring 

You can’t ask for a closer location, right at thebenterance gate to the National Monument. Clean with nice amenities, they show Close Encounter of the third kind which was filmed here every night in the pavilion and if you don’t want to watch it with others they have copies you can check out in the office. Only complaint I have is the cotton wood trees were making a mess but that’s not the campgrounds fault. My daughter walked around the campground at dusk and saw a variety of wildlife. 

Great Location

The staff was super nice, and I loved that they showed "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" every night during the summer with Devil's Tower in the background. The campground is right next to the national monument. The tent sites were somewhat exposed, but that gives a good view of the monument.

Really nice campground

It is very close to the monument and has a great view of it. There was hardly anyone there when I camped with my family.

Great view of the monument

Had a fantastic time here. Wonderful facilities. Best bathrooms and shower facilities I’ve ever seen for a campground. Excellent views of Devils Tower all around. played “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” every night at 8, so cool! Camp store is good for all the essentials and a bite to eat if you are tired of cooking. Plenty of places for pups to roam as well. Highly recommend staying here. 


Awesome place to car camp!

We stayed here for one night, but it was amazing! The campsite was spacious, clean, and the facilities were very nice!! We picked a site with a view and we didn’t regret that one bit! Probabky one of the nicest KOAs we’ve stayed at so far! Definitely recommend Devil’s Tower and definitely recommend this KOA!

Room with a View!!

This campground is literally a 2 minute walk from tent to the park entrance! There’s a huge store with an ice cream shop and restaurant. The folks are really nice too. There’s a huge grass area for first come, first served tent camping, which I totally recommend! The Premium Tent (PT) sites are very large and can hold at least 3 8-person tents.

Beautiful view!!

A great place to camp. The store was well stocked and we weren't far from hiking. the place was clean and well set up!

Loved it!

The location is at the foot of Devils Tower. The cabins are clean and a showerhouse with laundry services is provided. They also have a post office, dinner, two stores, and a convenience store across the street.

Conveinent location with an up and close view! 

Entrance to Devils Tower National Monument is right outside the campground. View of Devils Tower from every campsite. Large camp store/gift shop and restaurant on site. Hayrides and showing of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind nightly.

Nice campground, beautiful location.

Tent sites are in an open field with a handful of trees. The trade off is the wide open skies and STARS. Bathrooms and Showers are Awesome!

Great view

We arrived here on October 9th and the KOA was starting to shut down for the winter season, no laundry :(

The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians and indigenous people. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to learn more, explore more and define our place in the natural and cultural world.

Nice view of the tower

I was a tent camper and this was great. There was this huge open space you could choose from and i just loved it! Right at the bottom of Devils tower. The best view ever. Very clean bathrooms and laundry facillity.

Open space

Literally in the shadow of Devil's Tower.  Neat area with lots to do.  Only stayed one night, but had no complaints.  Hot showers, clean bathrooms, and everything we needed.  We were passing through and got in late.

In the shadows of Devil's Tower

Nice campground. Camp store has a small selection of camping necessities and souvenirs. Great view of Devils Tower and you can view the campground from the trail around Devils Tower’s base. Pricing seemed a bit high, but I guess that’s the premium for the view.

Great View!!!

Great location. Right outside the entrance to Devils Tower. Amazing views and the movie (Close Encounters) after dark was nice. Fire ban due to dryness and winds was a bummer.

Great location.

Everything I wanted. Easy check in plenty of sites. At the base of Devils Tower!! Great store &amp; staff. They show the movie every night at an outdoor patio with the tower in the background, AWESOME!

You are camping at the gates to the park. Easy in &amp; out of park. Must stay here

Close encounter 

Super cute cabin. Clean bathrooms. Nice pool. So close to Devils Tower. Nice store on premises. Would definitely stay again.

Devils Tower KOA 

There's not a lot of privacy, and only a few trees, but if you can get one of the spots on the edge facing Devil's Tower you cannot beat the view. Like most KOA's there's showers, flush toilets, and a general store. We snagged a spot on the outside near one of the few trees backing up to a creek and a nice red rock cliff.

Sparse site with a few better spots with good view of Devil' Tower.

...but if you're planning on visiting Devil's Tower, this is a great choice. We got a basic spot with a firepit, but we just enjoyed the festivities around the Close Encounters 40th Anniversary viewing. All those people there and we were the only ones to have gotten there taking the same journey as Dreyfuss' Roy character. (Indiana to Devil's Tower, and in a Station Wagon, no less) The wagon has been dubbed "Roy" ever since. Clean bathrooms as well as the grounds in general. Good pricing too, considering everything.

Not usually a fan of Chain Campgrounds

Pool, close encounters of the third kind on big screen outside at night with the tower behind it. Nice store. Good clean bathrooms/showers.

Great experience!

But we could see why. This place has a fantastic view at the base of Devils Tower. It was VERY busy. Lots of families and off road vehicles (although it was holiday weekend, but I imagine this place stays busy). This was a last minute choice for us and we didn’t even end up using the facilities. We parked, cooked our dinner and watched the sunset from the back of our van.  If you want to stay at Devils Tower this is pretty choice. (On site would have been better but closed due to Covid)

Busy KOA

Great KOA at the edge of the park. No a/c in the cabins. Plenty of souvenirs, a nightly movie and a great view of the Wyoming hills. Price is reflective of them having the only campground around. 

Great View

Beautiful view of Devils Tower, nice campground, nice amenities. Enjoyed our time here! Even was able to see the comet!

Awesome

Rolled in pretty late and they had our site info easily accessible in an envelope with my name on it on the front porch of the office. Unbelievable stars and an amazing view when we woke up! 

Unbelievable stars!

Was not sure if I wanted a KOA but if you want direct view from your campsite off the tower, this is the place. Well run campground.

Great location 

Rolled in late at night, had a perfect spot that we noticed that light which perfectly is set just outside base of devils tower nothing better than waking up to that morning and had breakfast with a gorgeous view of devils tower.  

Woke up to amazing view 

Gorgeous view of Devil’s Tower from your campsite. Lots of people staying in one place, but the sites are semi-spaced out. The store is cute and staff was helpful. Had outdoor movie night but the pool was closed (not sure if that is due to COVID or not). The playground was super popular with all the kids. Overall, a nicely kept campground.

The view

Great campground, friendly staff, and beautiful view. We stayed for one night on a road trip and very much enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful View

This is an absolutely gorgeous location right below Devils Tower.  The camp ground is beautiful. With a wonderful gift shop, restaurant , outdoor movie nights, cabins, RV and tent sites that mingle thrushes valley. 

Wonderful location!

Right at the entrance to Devils Tower. It can’t be any more convenient unless it was in the parking lot of Devils Tower. Nice place. 

Convenient place if you’re exploring Devils Tower

Our site had a great view of the tower. Wouldda liked to watch the movie but we rolled in late. All hook up for our TT were in fine working order. Easy breezy stop with good vibes!

Good vibes

Love this spot. Very clean, dog area, plenty of room between spots. Laundry area and 
Close Encounters of The Third Kind every night at 7pm. Loved the view of the tower from our spot. WiFi was good enough to work from without our boost. We ended up staying for 4 days. Took a day trip to Mt Rushmore. Not a lot of grocery places so don’t count on that. Would still go back. Beautiful area.  

Fabulous Experience 

The campground is awesome, beautiful view of The Devils tower, pretty good wifi. But at night.... Heavenly view of the stars with the Tower being outlined in the sky. I am most missed due to that sleep thing &amp; Close Encounters movie every night except Sunday!

Amazing

The staff bends over backwards for you and the park is really nice. Definitely one of the best KOA’s we’ve been to. 

Great KOA

We stayed here one night and it was almost $90. That’s the most expensive campsite we’ve stayed at. I felt it wasn’t that bad because they had a pool. Turns out it was empty. According to the paperwork when we checked in, it should have been open. The mini golf wasn’t open either. At night they show a movie. I don’t think the price is worth it. I don’t think we would stay there again. 

Needs some work for the price

Very nice KOA at the base of Devils tower national Monument.   Nice grass camp site with water and electricity.     Shaded in late afternoon and early morning.    Great views of the Tower.  Clean bathrooms, shower rooms and large laundry facility’s.  

Evening outdoor showing of Close Encounters and fun to hear the tones through night air.

Entrance to the park is next to the park so you could ride bikes in or hike it in.  

Nice KOA. Great open views of Devils tower. We’re in site 5. Any of the 1-9 or 10-15 would be awesome. 32-38 you’re looking at the tower thru a row of RV’s but still a great view. The V1-V6 and TE3-TE6 sites are lower in elevation (down a small embankment) from the 1-9 sites so you’re unobstructed. Bathrooms are nice as is pool. Mini golf is under construction or repair !? Great store and restaurant / cafe. Decent playground. 

Proximity to Devils Tower can’t be beat

Very very few sites with green grass and trees. Construction was going on
Most/majority of sites agave dry/dying grass and no trees
It seems they invested more on the front of the business (shop, cafe area, reception) and cabin/tent area
I do not recommend for RV
Most of the trees are in different areas other than the rv sites

Not for RV people

So far this is our best KOA experience, though I'm taking off 1 star because the mingolf experience, which looks like a great one, was closed for renovation during peak season which seems inexcusable. Great views of the tower, numerous shade options, working hookups. Our power actually had the polarity reversed, but it worked fine. The dump station had a somewhat odd placement requiring me to drive around reverse of the campsite order to get on the right side, but that seems somewhat usual apparently. Also during rain the dump site was flooded, so make sure you have good gloves! It still worked under the flood waters. 

Store was interesting with some great items to pickup, ice cream, and decent food, though during the uptick of delta covid-19 in wyoming nobody was wearing masks or distancing. 

2 great playgrounds for the kids!

Great KOA campground, so close to Devils Tower

Stayed at an RV site in early June, 2021.  The site assigned to us was on the outer loop and directly opposite Devil's Tower.  The tower was nicely framed by a pair of trees at our campsite.  The entrance to national park is immediately next to this KOA.

  

The hosts were friendly and accommodating.  No complaints with the water and electric service at our campsite.  Our site (as were all the others as far as we could tell) was level.

  

The restrooms were clean, but like things seeing a lot of use these days needed a couple repairs but nothing major.   The on-site showers were also clean and the water warm.  The KOA staff watered an adjacent site through the night while we were there.

  

Note: site's were available on first-come basis at nearby Devil's Tower Belle Fourche campground but don't offer the amenities of the KOA.

Very nice campground with spectacular view of Devil's Tower

Just like a KOA, tight sites, nice staff, clean restrooms and showers, nice playground.  Excellent view from our site and quick access to the park.   So expensive.  An extra $5 per kid per night.  And 3 loads of laundry cost me $18.  3$ to wash, 3$ to dry. They also show "Close Encounters" each night.  

Expensive!  Nice View. 

Super tight spots, super small pool although they are building a new one. Not much frills, typical I don't care about the extras but when paying 75 dollars I expect the sites to be a tad nicer.

MEH for a Koa

Well, it's a KOA... The kids love it... Had a pool and a very challenging mini golf pitch. Otherwise very cool spot.

KIA’s are the glamping of camping. That’s why we stay at them every once in awhile. The dog park wasn’t great and the WiFi speed wasn’t anything to brag about. The bathrooms were clean and they offered evening activities. This stay really sold us on the view. It’s beautiful! 

The view 

Really nice campground, easy to late register...will know more in the morning

Too early to be sure

This is our second time here and we love it. The atmosphere is great, the bathrooms are super clean. We love getting to choose our own site. 

Second time

This is largest KOA we’ve visited with huge grassy areas for tons of tent camping and spacious RV sites for rigs of all sizes. Views of Devil’s Tower can be seen throughout the park especially from the outdoor theater where they play “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” every night.  
TIP:  don’t rely on your KOA app or online reservation system. They state “only 1 space left!” in red. I counted 8 empty sites on our row alone. Always call!!
We stayed in site #18 which had a long shaded, grassy area to spend lazy afternoons. The sites are level with a combo of gravel and dirt. There’s two bathroom/shower/laundry buildings.  
Not sure what’s going on with their pools. Both are closed and one under construction.  There’s still plenty to do:  two playgrounds, hay rides, putt putt golf and live entertainment in the evenings. Loved our stay. 

This is largest KOA we’ve visited with huge grassy areas for tons of tent camping and spacious RV sites for rigs of all sizes.

Your typical KOA. Clean facilities and lots of activities. Their pool is being worked on currently. They offered free mini golf because of that. Sites can be a bit cramped, but scenery is nice and bathrooms/ showers are clean. 

Nice KOA, good location

Very, very nice place. Quiet. Air conditioned bathhouses. Super nice staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice people. very nice bathhouses

It is one of the BEST KOA’s that I have visited. It is well kept, the sites are roomy and I have a great view of Devil’s Tower.

The bathroom and showers are roomy and clean. The laundry is a bit small but all of the machines were working.

KOA Devil’s Tower

Tent site no hookups. A little expensive but a couple miles from devils tower. Cook lake offers fishing, kayaking, etc. no pets on devil tower trails. 

Great stay

The owners take care of this campground, you even see the sprinklers running to keep the grass nice. The food at the campground exceeded my expectations. Keep in mind though that if a bus tour comes in they shut down the kitchen for a bit.  The campground is literally at the entrance to devils tower.  The only downside is that the spots are not wide. They are long so they fit by 41 ft rv but we are on top of the neighbor.

Well kept

We made a last-minute booking and staff was more than helpful in getting us booked over the phone past the online booking time. 

We rolled in late, and the staff made it easy for us to find our site. The site was level enough to not need blocks, but blocks would have been useful if it wasn't just for one night. 

The showers were extremely clean, but I still would suggest shower shoes. They were close and accessible from our site and the showers were private with a locking door. 

We did get to view the aurora borealis that night next to the silhouette of the tower, which was really cool. 

Overall it was a very clean, quiet, and nice KOA. I will be staying here again if in the area.

Exceeded Expectations 

The KOA is literally at the base of Devil’s Tower - you aren’t going to get a better location. What I love about this campsite is that the actual campground is awesome, too. We loved watching Close Encounters (right at the scene of the action!) in the evening (the screen could be bigger). The playground was nice and so was the free miniature golf course. It was nice to get up in the morning and go to a really reasonably priced restaurant. The actual sites were not anything fancy - level and close together. It’s a great place to start or finish your day at Devil’s Tower!

Best place to launch a Devil’s Tower visit

When I called to check availability, I was told that it was off season so it would be 50 dollars per NIGHT FHU. When I arrived,  it was 91 dollars FHU. Told them what I was told, and they didn't really care. At that point I  didn't have a choice.
