This KOA was nice but entirely gravel and had zero trees. It was very hot here in JUL. It seems to be geared toward boaters in the nearby lake. If you don't have boat, there is not much to do (no pool or kids activities). Facilities were nice enough, just not up to par with other KOA's.
We couldn't get into Rushmore KOA on 4th of July weekend so we stayed here. Glad we did! Site is beautiful, peaceful and has all you can eat pancakes. We never would've made the drive to the Mammoth Site or Evans Plunge and both were worth it! Highly recommend to all. Mt Rushmore was close enough and a pretty drive.
We stopped here after a late start from Chicago. The staff was nice and efficient. We had a chicken dinner delivered to campsite and a nice fire. Would stay here again.
Then again we passed through on a Sunday night. The staff was professional and escorted us to our campsite. Neighbors were a little close but respectful. All in all a good experience.
