My only complaint is that it needs more shade and maybe some fans. We didn't get to do everything we wanted because it was so darn hot. I also wish they had more ride photos. But I'm a big picture nerd. I would recommend getting the wrist band. It's $62 for adults but it includes everything except food and water. Fyi- if you have a hard time getting around your best option is the chair lift the the top. It truly is beautiful up there. But again not handicap friendly.

Hubby had the buffet which was good, but the desert bar was almost empty. They need to keep it stocked. We also had, bison burger -perfect, Bacon cheeseburger perfect and a Portobello Burger perfect! The fries were crispy and amazing. The prices were kinda expensive but worth it to get food cooked to perfection! The only reason for not five stars was it seemed to take a long time to get our food, and the dessert bar was not kept stocked, and nobody could give us directions on where this place was ‍

I'm a Google Local Guide (Level 7, 86 reviews) -- I don't write reviews like this lightly. Sorry no…read moreyelp reviews yet. The Roost Resort has a genuinely nice physical setup -- well-maintained grounds and facilities. Unfortunately, our visit was marred by how the visitor fee was enforced. We drove 300+ miles each way to visit family staying at the resort. Saturday we paid the $10/car visitor fee without issue, though it came with a long lecture about costs, being a mom-and-pop operation, and "registered guests only" on the walk to the office. We left around 8:30pm, invited back for breakfast, and stayed overnight 40 miles away at another resort. We returned Sunday ~8:30am. By 9:30am the owner (Sheila) came back for a second fee. I asked if it worked like a motel checkout window since we'd be leaving soon. She charged the full fee anyway and repeated the same lecture -- for at least the 4th time. She mentioned being a 5-star resort; when I mentioned I'd leave a review, she took it as a threat. We were accused of using the shower house (false -- we'd showered elsewhere). When my cousin's husband mentioned being a disabled veteran, she accused him of "playing that card," described her own health condition, and threatened to call police. My cousin was told to vacate 2 days early, with 3 hours' notice. There's a difference between hospitality and running a hospitality business. A resort this nice deserves an owner who understands that difference.

It is a small park with a very steep pads. The pads are narrow, and hard to navigate. My husband…read moreis a grading contractor and the pads are horrible. They have a check in at 3:00pm. All other parks are 1:00 The price is 47.00 a night, without full hookups. You can pay an extra 3.00 for full hook ups near by with better sites. They charged us a $30.00 late fee for checking out at 11:50. There was NO ONE THERE , That had to wait on us. It is a RV site. No one has to clean up.....What the heck! The dump station, takes some maneuvering to turn around in a small place. The view is great, but the lack of personal interaction is terrible. I would look for other parks, in the area. 1 out of 13 states is not bad for an average. You always have that one!!!!!

The bathrooms are clean, the shower was nice to have and the camp spots are private. We found this place randomly online and it was only $20, 5 minutes from crazy horse and had everything we needed for a nice night to stay near Mt. Rushmore (about 30 minutes but not a bad drive at all). We hope to come back one day and visit because we really loved it here! We had a tent spot near the top of the hill and it was all to ourselves. Gary was so nice and gave us a tour of the property, there's a lake with little paddle boats, a fresh running spring, beautiful views of crazy horse right from the back end of the property. Amazing experience, we will be back one day!

I keep going between 3 and 4 stars, but decided to bump up to 4. For a train enthusiast, young or…read moreold this is a fun experience to get to ride the train in a historical setting. It is something different to do in the area and good for all ages. I was expecting the seats and train cars to be very uncomfortable, but we had enough room to spread out and the seats were mostly comfortable. The windows open or close to your preference if you aren't in an open air car. We brought a foldable stroller that we had no problem putting under the seats or by the door of the train. I know we passed through historical areas and there is info being shared about what you're seeing, but we could not hear anything over the speaker on the train so it was mostly just a slow, hot scenic train ride where we didn't know what we were seeing really. It lulled both of my kids and husband to sleep on the way back. The Keystone depot is much smaller than Hill city but has bathrooms and a small gift shop and is right in the heart of downtown which makes walking somewhere quick and easy. We wish we would have taken the train right back from Hill city instead of having a three hour break there. The rules about food on the train are a little confusing. The website when you bought tickets said no outside food that you didn't buy there but then when I got there, there were signs that said food is welcome on the train. They did sell popcorn and candy and drinks on the train which we did not purchase. My kids had a few snacks that we brought while on the train and there was nobody there to monitor it or say anything. Again, our kids enjoyed it (although got a little bored toward the end) and it was a nice break from the area parks and active activities, but I don't think it's something we would repeat if we were in the area.

Great pool, bouncy thing for kids. But for me it was the $6 fire wood. A lot of places run the price up to $8. And as another review did say, our lot wasn't level but we have a 27 foot camper with no sliders so it wasn't an issue. If you have a big camper, you will need the levelers. Oh and the wifi is superb if you can't completely get away from reality and need internet. Actually this KoA has the BEST WIFI IVE SEEN IN SOUTH DAKOTA. TL,DR (too long, didn't read): F Jim and his guns, still a great campground if you aren't worshipping your gun collection like a cult member.
