For KOA Mount Rushmore: Stayed here for 9 nights. PROS: Huge campground. Beautiful scenery all around. Geared for kids, Kids Zone is really nice. Kids used the water slide (not heated) Heated pool and hot tub both very nice. Playground, giant chess/checkerboards were fun. Jumping pillow lots of fun too! Movies for kids every night. They have a schedule of kids fun for every day of week! Deluxe patio sites looked very level (did not use due to so expensive) Husband and son very much enjoyed their nice bike trails that go through campground. Laundry room very nice. $2.50 to wash a small load. Dryers .50 for 15 minutes. They have 2 restaurants which both were nice. Coffee/wine place looked nice but didn’t go. CONS: Campsites are tiny, I mean the smallest I’ve ever camped in over 20 years! If you are in trees sites are EXTREMELY unlevel as entire tree sites area is on hills. People riding bikes had to walk their bikes out of this area to even be safe to ride! Wasn’t sure our 27’ was even safe as much wood as we needed to level the camper! (Maintenance was very kind to loan us extra wood we needed on top of what we bring!) Saw large rigs with both front wheels 4’ off ground!! Showers were adequate but very dirty. Use shower shoes! The entire campground is in a large valley. Our Sprint phones had ZERO cell service. And despite “WiFi advertised” there was ZERO connection for our entire stay. Also, didn’t realize our phones were roaming constantly until we got a message from Sprint saying we had used our entire month of roaming in literally 4 days. (Unlimited coverage does NOT cover roaming in small print FYI) so I advise you turn off your roaming unless you need it! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and spent 8 of our 9 days out doing the tourist things, basically sleeping in camper at night. We stayed one day to relax and had a great day. I’d suggest asking for site NOT in trees. Definitely lots of fun if you have kids!

For KOA Mount Rushmore: This is a resort/ family campground with lots of kid activities..pool, games, horses etc. Good location for Mt Rushmore. Most of the sites are on gravel or grass and are very small and close together. Site can have full hookups but no cable and almost no air tv. Bathrooms are located throughout the park, ours was dirty. There is places to eat in the campground but friends had dinner that was not good. If you are traveling without kids you may want to pick another campground.

For KOA Mount Rushmore: Top notch Koa. Great location, great services. Amazing panoramic views of the Black hills. Great tip. Leave your rig parked And rent one of their Koa cars. Well worth it on those windy roads and small parking lots.

For KOA Mount Rushmore: This is a kids resort more than a campground so just know what you are in for. Pros: tons of kids activities and tons of kids for making friends. More activities than I have ever found for kids. Started early and went late - around 10p closure. Everything was open and busy enough you were never alone but never had to wait around. Cons: very crowded sites. They put our 35’ trailer on a 37’ site and expected us to park on our grass. If you want more space just tell them your rv is closer to the site size you want. Back in spots appear to have the most space. Everyone has table and fire ring but we had to move our table because it was literally on top of neighbors sewer connection. As others have mentioned bikes and kids running everywhere but that is why you are there. You MUST go very slow and expect someone to jump out without looking because they have right away in a place like this. It is huge so might want to consider golf cart rental if you have mobility issues. All said: know what it is and go have fun!

For KOA Mount Rushmore: We showed up on memorial day and the crowd was moving out, not too bad over the week. Everything is as advertised and the kids had a great time, could’ve spent days just messing around in the campground. The staff was very nice and helpful, no complaints. Cell signal and WiFi are not great, but we had so much to do we sorta forgot about it. Definitely would stay again!

For KOA Mount Rushmore: Great resort style campground! Stayed over a holiday weekend and yes it was crowded, but that's what you expect at a campground like this. Tons to do for all ages and very close to Rushmore. Would have given 5 stars except internet did not work at all, even at the advertised hot spots. Will definitely make a trip back.

For KOA Mount Rushmore: Plenty of amenities for kids and adults. Campground is extremely noisy and too much traffic/crowded. Head needs to be on a swivel so you run over any kids or adults on the roads, too many ATVs/UTVs, bikes all over the place. If you want a hectic stay, this is the place. Internet advertised is as good as it was in "1984" (i.e., non existent). Not a signal for cell data or a single bar for wifi, to include their shops and advertised areas.
