We had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed the patio in the evenings and the wooded quiet location. Great location to use as a base to visit all nearby parks and monuments. Lodge is away from campground and very quiet. Excellent pool. Staff was friendly and helpful with information

My family really enjoyed the Lodge. We had fun in the pools, rock climbing wall and mini golf. The breakfast options at the lodge were lacking a bit but did the job. Beautiful area and very close to all the Rushmore Activities
Adam, 2-night trip

Nice place, but difficult to find as it has poor signage. It is actually a KOA.

We loved it here. The location was fantastic. It was close to Mt Rushmore but away from all the hustle and bustle of the tourist spots.
