Devils Tower
Emily C.

This is a great KOA! I stayed in a cabin while I was there and it was clean and inviting. The grounds were very well taken care of with flowers and even tomato plants in pots by the cabins! The pool was well taken care of and fun to play in on the hot summer days we were there. The showers were also private, clean, and safe which is important! My only cons were that everything was very overpriced. I understand it's a big tourist attraction but they were price gouging on things like 20$ for a little thing of sunscreen and $12 for a 16lb bag of ice. Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

USA's First National Monument [Devils Tower WY] Somehow we missed visiting the Devil's Tower the first time we went on a road trip 10 years ago in 2014 to Wyoming and the Midwest States. From afar the view was majestic and was a sight to behold. As we were approaching the landmark, it became evident to me how massive this rock truly was. Originally, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it, I only had flip-flops on but the path was paved and most of the Tower Trail was rolling flat. There was some slight incline at the beginning of the hike, not too bad, and the weather was very comfortable with bursts of slight breeze at some parts of the hike. We were able to get a good three-dimensional view of the huge rock from all sides. We also caught a glimpse of a few adventurous rock climbers... at least ten of them coming from different parts of the rock. Some cool facts and trivia: Devils Tower is a National Monument located in Wyoming and was featured in the climax of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A 1977 sci-fi film by Steven Spielberg Devils Tower is a sacred symbol to several Native American tribes. Devils Tower National Monument was the first United States national monument established in 1906. Review #3477

4.5 stars A little out of the way if you're heading up to Mt Rushmore, but it's worth the drive. It's an interesting feature and to hear the Native American cultural significance behind it (you can even register to climb the boulders up there). Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water. There's even good views if you only make it part way up the trail too. Free admission with the America the Beautiful park pass. 2024 #55

Awesome

Another planned stop along the way of the 14 state 2024 Tour, albeit out of the way but well worth the drive this national park deserves your time and the Native American legend that resonates throughout the area inspires your imagination, my first thought is of the movie Close encounters of the third kind comes to mind but even if you haven't seen that movie the park is still very inspiring

Review Visit: July 25th, 2015 If you have seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind, then you are very familiar with Devils Tower. This was about the final stop on a 2 week cross country trip and I am happy it was one of the last. We didn't get to get close, as we were tight on time, but still seeing it was awesome. I didn't know too much about it besides what we talked about in Geography classes in college, but I knew some of the legends and the uniqueness of the tower. It appears that there are trails around the tower you can hike. You can also climb the tower too, which is weird, since I thought it was all protected grounds by Native Americans. Maybe it's a limited window each year. Either way, if you can indeed get close, I would love to go back. I love odd, natural landmarks like this and would love to explore it up close. Wish I knew more to tell you all but maybe one day I can expand upon this post! Devils Tower is quite the landmark. It stands out when compared to everything else around it. Geologists still debate on how it is formed. Native Americans have a few folklore on how it was formed too. If you are interested in either of those, check the Website/Wiki links below.

Nice 3D model of Devil's Tower with information on each side of it.

I stayed in Guernsey, WY and had an extra day to explore other areas. I was debating on whether or not to visit Devil's Tower. It's a good 3+ hour drive from Guernsey. I'm so glad that I decided to visit! It was well worth my time. I would absolutely return here. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to return here during evening hours. I would love to see wonderful views of the cosmos at nighttime. There is a park entrance fee so be prepared to pay. I believe the fee is about $15-$20. The friendly park ranger will provide you with a map and helpful information. The drive up to the base of mountain is nice. Pay attention to the views as you pay attention to the roadway along with other motorists and bicyclists. There is a decent sized parking lot at the base of the mountain. Public restrooms are nearby as well. They have various park benches to sit on solo or with family as you marvel at the beautiful views. They even have a selfie station! Take your time to walk around the base of the mountain. They offer a few alternative trails. Be sure you have a nice camera or plenty of power in your cell phone for many opportunities to take pictures. I LOVE the energy of this place! I can see why the Native Americans designated this place as sacred ground. I also enjoyed seeing some areas with prayer flags. There is one area close to the base of the mountain that is a designated prayer area. I like how there are signs that caution against disturbing any of the prayer flags. Also, make sure you bring water to stay hydrated on the trails. Take your time to read the various signs placed along the base of the trail. They offer a lot of interesting historical information. Before you leave for the day be sure to visit the Visitor's Center where there is a small museum inside that offers information on Devil's Tower along with historical and scientific information. Next to the museum is a small to medium sized gift shop. They sell plenty of books, postcards, coffee mugs, etc... This was also worth my time. I ended up walking away with a small bag of souvenirs to take home with me. Again, worth the time! If you have never visited, don't wait! Especially if you're visiting Deadwood, SD or another community. Deadwood is about 50 minutes drive time from Devil's Tower. I would LOVE to return here! Very impressed!

My first thought driving in closer? The entire general shape of the rock formation reminds me of Spaceballs' black Darth Vader helmet, haha. The vertically straight striations give mind to any old beef pot roast or your classic string cheese: tendons/tendrils you could totally just peel down and away; pretty cool. There's only one road in, one parking lot, and one road out, so this place can get packed during peak months. We were there after Labor Day, so the crowds were manageable; except they were doing some kind of construction and had temporary lights flashing to time the crowds that were NOT working, thus we sat in line for about 20-30 minutes people cops came and fixed the darn things. It wasn't bad, considering. The gift shop is small, but I did get a cool tee shirt to add to my travels collection. **Some of the best viewing and pictures are from a roadside overlook a few miles out from the park entrance. The closer you get, you have to look up for pictures, and lose the depth perception that makes this. Formation unique!

A must see! Nice trail around the tower, two trails actually. So many different views as you walk the east easy inner trail. We saw a climber, no thank you. A recommend stop, required a detour that was wonderfully required. IMPORTANT TIP:The parking gets full, so arrive early otherwise you may have to wait on a traffic light to permit enterance, that light was off on our early arrival.

That was awesome. It is out in the boonies. But come on. Nice little loop hike around the tower, plenty of seats for breaks. Multiple different lookouts for pictures. Simply breathtaking. Plan on an hour or two.

Devils Tower was a great way to spend the first day of my vacation in the Black Hills area. The drive over from near Deadwood was very scenic and when I knew I was getting near I couldn't wait to see how Devils Tower would reveal itself on my first glimpse from the roadway. Getting to the National Monument, I arrived and was surprised to get a parking spot right outside the visitor's center a few minutes before it opened. I opted to first take the Red Beds Trail for a longer route to see the Tower and the outlying area. It was a beautiful and cloudy morning and the trail allowed me some spectacular views of the valley that surrounds the Tower, going up and down around through some different landscapes. I encountered very few people on this trail, which I preferred in this situation. After making my way around that trail, I headed back to the more accessible Tower Trail, paved and a better way to get some closer views of the Tower itself. There were people of all ages on the trail, and at the most scenic places to stop and read about the history or use the binoculars, there was a friendly vibe amongst revelers. The Tower is a marvel and a spectacular sight in person, and watching some climbers on the Tower itself helped give perspective to its size. Very happy I made a little extra drive over to see it.

Devils Tower is definitely worth a stop, but it's not an all-day thing unless you're planning on climbing it, which we saw many people doing. There's not a ton of parking at the base, so get here early because it was packed when we left around 10. I recommend taking the tower trail because it's a loop trail that offers a 360 view of the tower. Each side has something different as well as informative signs throughout the trail, which point out some cool formations. The tower trail can be difficult for some as it's not all flat. There are some hills, but it should be fairly easy for most. There's certainly an interesting story behind the tower, which I think everyone should come and see/hear for themselves.

Very nice campground and the camp store there has just about everything you can think or ask for. They have lots of camping supplies, souvenirs, shirts, hot food, snacks, ice cream, jewelry, toys, books, blankets, some groceries, drinks and even alcohol beverages. There are no campfires at your sites but they do offer two different campfires at 2 different locations where everyone can gather around. The only downside is the pool is not available for use due to waiting on an inspection of it. They offer dog park, mini-golf, laundry, and a children's play area. The best part about this campground is you can get a great view of Devil's tower! I highly recommend going to see Devil's tower either early morning or early evening. There are less people and you can take a lot of pictures without other people in the photo. I do say that you really only should stay 2 nights only. Since it's very hot and there is no pool to cool off. There is not a gas station for at least 30-40 minutes away so make sure you fill up when you see one. There is only 2 stores one of which is the camp store. Between the 2 stores they do have a lot. Then at the end of the street only one restaurant. Also an hour away is the center of the GEO of the US. Which was really neat and had a very cool museum with even dinosaur bones in it. Another place that's only 30 min away from there is Deadwood City. Deadwood has very cool old Main Street with original buildings from the early 1900's and that is brick paved with many souvenir stores, places to eat, a brewery, Starbucks, whisky/moonshine store, and many small casinos. We don't gamble at all, but if you do you will love it there and its definitely worth going to while you here at this KOA. Sick-N-Twisted Brewing Company Lots of different local beers to try. You can get a flight of beer for $10. Also you can get a flight of wine too. I don't drink anymore but my husband loved it! It is attached to very cool souvenir store where you can have your own custom shirt/sweat shirt made. They also have many magnets for Devils Tower.

Beautiful natural tower to climb, hike around, or stare at. There's a restriction on parking near the visitor center so expect to be waiting a while. As of August 2024 there's a street light installed to limit the number of people parking. It's controlled by a park ranger. There are two sets of restrooms at the visitor center. One is vault near the trailhead, the other is flushing near the parking lot.

Entrance to the park.

See all

This is as low budget as it gets. No office, no trees.

The sites are not level, not even close. The entire park is on a slope and it looks like the level wasn't working when they made these sites. My shower door won't close and the shower won't drain because we're leaned to the left so far. The water spigot is too low. I could barely get a valve attached and I had to dig. The electric box is too short so I had to bend my surge protector. Who did this stuff? Update 20 minutes after posting this truthful review, I was evicted from the park. Man who kicked us out, gave us no reason. When I asked if it was because of my Yelp review, he replied yes and to get the hell out of his part. He could not defend the fact that is sites were unlevel , had that will destroy your leveling equipment, a water Spicket that's so low to the ground.
