    Great place to stay in your RV…read more Each spot has a concrete area with a table and chairs, a gas grill, a fire pit with bench seating around it as well as a bench swing. RV spots are level, nice gravel... The place is well maintained... great looking place. They have cars for rent... and a decent selection that ranges from a van to a Mustang convertible... also ATVs for rent. The office has all sorts of food, coffee, supplies... They have several shops with pizzia, etc. One of the nicest camp grounds you will find anywhere... it's got to be in the top 1% of places to stay... period.

    First time staying at this resort. From a distance this is the ideal place to be. It's right in the…read moremiddle of the black hills. The location is great. However the staff here is terrible. The front office are not friendly and definitely not helpful,they need training of the area and the way the campground works. The bathrooms and toilets are disgusting. We stayed a week and they were not cleaned once. We also came to do laundry and only 2 washers in the entire park were working. We complained and they only had excuses. To top it off the maintenance crew were mowing around people and us while we were sitting outside trying to relax. They work/campers need intense training if they are to function this summer. 0 out of 10 for cleanliness/customer service 10 for location.

The owner, his family and staff work extremely hard to make your stay as pleasant as possible. My wife and I have done 2 trips here, 10 days each.

Restrooms and roomy showers were clean. We had a 25' TT and site accommodated our tow vehicle. We had 2 sites a back in (3 nights) and pull thru (2 nights). Beautiful hiking trail behind campground. We had a fire ring and location is somewhat hilly so difficult for handicap to get around. All in all a great location and easy to find. Nice general store on site. Definitely have to get some homemade pie from the Purple Pie House, blueberry, apple and bumbleberry were delicious warmed ip with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream! The Claw Antler & Hide store had very unique and cool items bought antler whistles for the grandkids. Had the best buffalo burger at Black Hills Burger and Bun but go early its very popular! For you knitters visit the Busy Ewe Farm & Fibers (605) 440-0316 awesome natural wool yarns.

    Riders beware before you book READ THIS!…read more We booked this spot based on the website stating "trail access" . I ended up calling due to questions around the permit needed to access trails. I was told to purchase one in town at the Conoco or somewhere else that sells them, ok fine no problem any other places that sell them?? Silence on the phone....crickets...ok ...then I asked about the trail access, hoping to get a site close to it because we have a side by side and I was told, and I quote "oh that trail is very small ", ok, how do we access the the other trails, "I am not sure you would have to call and find out ", really, you don't know the trail system but advertise trail access and have utv/atv pictures plastered on your website. Frustrating. When I said let me speak with my husband we may cancel if we can't access the trails, response was "ok"....huh?!? I mean, your not even going to ask me how you can help or get me a number or I mean just anything helpful? NOPE! She then went on about possible snow at the tree line and that we most likely couldn't ride, but to call and find out, nothing provided to help me find this out! How do you NOT know this, you have trail access? So again, why doesn't it say "seasonal" trail access or a disclaimer to verify trail access with maybe a link or something....anything!?? She then tells me, your UTV has to be licensed, street legal to ride the road to the other trails, but still doesn't know where they are but most likely closed. Small trail map on thier website but when I asked about this trail, wasn't sure if that was a trailhead or the small one she told me about, frustrating. Now, I fully understand, the person who was speaking to me, who was very nice and very pleasant, could be wrong or not understand trails, but for $65 dollars a night and a permit fee on a "hope" to ride, just no. I feel the website is misleading, staff not informed about trail system, SMH. Now, on the site they have a small trail map, is that the trail they are referring to the is small or is this a trail head, is there another trail, THEY HAD NO CLUE. I am aware that as a rider you have to do research, ultimately it's up to us to find trail maps, know the laws etc...but don't advertise trail access and you can't tell me where, how to access, how far is the trail, is it open.....basic questions, should have answers. We have been on a ton of trails, ORV parks, traveling through the US riding and each place provided so much more information, extremely helpful. We canceled at this Campsite due to lack of help or information. Booked today at 9:50am, called with questions then decided to cancel at 12:30pm same-day, still charged $25 dollars to cancel, I understand about covering cost and time, but honestly your staff is not well informed to help riders feel confident in booking/staying.

It is walking distance to: gas station, Dollar General, train museum/ride, post office, shops, and restaurants. It is about a 10 minute drive to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument. In any direction you go, you'll find signs to mark hiking trails. It is literally on the Mickelson Trail. It is also 15-60 minutes from other cities/towns that have attractions.

    We stayed for four nights in late May at the Hot Springs, SD KOA…read more We have visited the Black Hills several times over the years and wanted a quieter experience than is offered at Palmer Gulch or Rafter J. This KOA at Hot Springs definitely fit the bill! A beautiful little KOA right off Highway 79 close to downtown Hot Springs. We used this KOA as a base of operations for exploring the Black Hills / Custer / Rushmore area in addition to Badlands National Park and of course, Wall Drug! Although not as close to Rushmore as Hill City, the drive through Custer State Park is absolutely amazing! Our site was a FHU pull-through patio #51. This is a great site as it's on the end with lots of room on the camp side. Very long with ample room for tow vehicles / toads. As we travel with two juvenile labrador retrievers (LOL) getting them exercise was not a problem. Their dual area fenced Kamp K9 was a great place to let them let off steam. A lush grassy enclosure! There is also a leashed pet walk area at the back of the campground to walk the pups . Pine trees are everywhere and it created a nice shaded atmosphere. Interior roads are dirt and sites are gravel, but dust was no problem. Our patio site seemed fairly new and had lots of room with table, chairs, fire ring and gas grill. There was also lots of space to set up our outdoor dog pen. Perhaps it was the time of year, but everything in the area was very green and beautiful. We did have haze from the Canadian fires one night, but it was not a problem. Staff was very helpful and offered tips on the surrounding areas. Camp store was smaller, but had a good variety of items. Pool was not open for the season yet, but it looked nice!

It felt like a nice hotel where they could deliver ice, food, wood... Loved the cool and refreshing pool. Clean and easy laundry facilities. We needed $15 dollars in quarters for lots of laundry and there was no problem. They recycle! So many do not. They even took our recycling from our previous travel. The camp store had what we needed. The location was great for us. I generally do not post reviews but the management was so great that I wanted to post.
