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 campsite was beautiful.

The sites are spread out and spread between the trees.  Even with every site full, you still have space.

Every site has a fire ring and a bear box.  Each loop has its own restrooms and dish wash station.  Each loop is farther back from the main road and the overall campground is large.

The check in building also has laundry and showers.  You get a punch card when you check in that gives you one free shower per person per day for your stay, and additional can be purchased.  This building also sells ice, firewood, and other essentials.  

Several gift shops, food options (gasp), and a gas station are just across or down the main road from checkin.

At checkin we were told there were less bear sightings as some of the other campgrounds in the park.  They still have a bear policy that says no scents outside of hard sided vehicles or bear box.  We were told the rangers are more likely to give you trouble for breaking the policy than the bears were, and while bear spray was recommended, it would not save you from a ticket from the rangers.   

Quiet hours begin at 8pm, after which rvs cannot run their generators.  The rangers actually drive around and enforce this, which is wonderful!  

I would recommend making sure you have enough gas to get you out of the park to the nearest town.  While there are several 24 hour pumps in the park including one right near the campground, the entire park lost power during our visit, and none of the gas pumps worked on the day we were leaving.

Also if you have T-mobile, there is coverage for emergency calls only in this part of the park.

Arrived on 9/4 (labor day 9/5).  Was packed day we arrived, but most left the next day.  When the crowds left, most of the extras shut down for the season.

Staff was friendly and property was mostly clean.  First night felt a bit overcrowded.  They rent golf carts / gators, and there was alot of people noise the first night.

Second night was better.  Most of the crowd had left and we got to enjoy a quiter night that felt more like camping.  The pools all closed, and most of the on property food options closed for the season on labor day.

Being a KOA Resort, this place felt like it would be a great place to stay if you have kids, and/or a large rv.  There are many ammenities on property (before they close for season).  It is very close to Mount Rushmore (we drove right by it to get here), and a pretty location (especially when the crowds left)

First experience with a KOA.  Easily accessible from the highway. Felt clean and secure.  Staff was friendly.  

We arrived on a Saturday, and there was a food truck at one of the sites!

There was no fire pit at our site, and we fell asleep to the familiar sounds of highway traffic. 

Made a decent one night stop to start on route to Yellowstone, and will consider stopping through here again, but not as a destination.
