Holy Smoke Resort

Small RV park but still really nice. While pricey - it ws worth it to be close to Rushmore. It was VERY close to Mt. Rushmore - so that was helpful for us to get up early and go with our kids. There is a playground, but it is small. Staff was nice enough. The highway wasn't that bad, the helicopters were much noiseier. Also a quick drive to the cute little town (although a tourist trap). The only issue we had was that we couldn't leave our windows open as all of the RV's around us were smoking 24/7 and it came into our coach. Keep in mind there are NO showers/bathrooms here and you will need full hook-ups.

$64/night after tax. Spots were narrow but nice and long with space left over for our 40ft 5th wheel and truck. Small grass area with picnic table. Close to neighbors but wasnt terrible. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nestled nice and quiet in the trees despite being close to road. Very close to Mt Rushmore and keystone, 30min from Custer and Rapid City. No laundry or bathroom/shower but they do have full hook ups. Would stay again

Rate is with taxes included. Road entering the park is paved, roads in the park are gravel as is the sites. Narrow spacing between sites with some grass between. Some tall pine trees. Large enclosed grassy pet area. No bath house, laundry, or pool. A minimal small play ground area for kids. Great location for Mount Rushmore & Custer national park.

Small, simple RV park with full hookups. Just outside Keystone, SD and about 4 miles from Mount Rushmore. The campground is alongside the state highway but it's down a hill and the grassy berm kept things remarkably quiet. The sites are all pull through, but slope at one end. Don't recall if they have a bath house. If you are going through the area, stopping for a quick look at Mt. Rushmore, this is an acceptable location for one night.

After traveling across country, with this being our first “main” stop, we were really looking forward to our stay at Holy Smoke due to its close location to Mount Rushmore. The campground is nestled next to HWY 16A and surprisingly wasn’t as noisy as one would expect. Our pull thru site, #20 should’t be considered a site at all! This site was located on the perimeter of the campground, almost like an add on site, parallel to the main one-way campground road. For hookups, there was only one way to pull into the site and it was literally two steps out our door and into the dusty road. No space for lawn chairs. Our picnic table was located in the back of the site right next to the sewer hookup. We also noticed that the “better”sites also had their picnic tables and sitting areas right along the previous site’s sewer/water. Stayed two of our four nights and left.

Staff was very pleasant. site was accommodating for our 32 ft TT and very close to the Mt Rushmore. There was also an excellent restaurant (Powder House Lodge) right down the street from the campground. We had that BEST prime rib dinner ever.
Nice campers too. We could not get reservations at the Powder House Lodge on Sunday when we pulled in so the camping neighbors nexts to us shared their excellent barbequed dinner and fixins with us! Nice folks out there in SD.

There's a close highway and tourist helicopter site adjacent to the campground that wasn't too bad.

I really like this place. It was clean and simple, no bells and whistles, just everything that you wanted (full Hook up) and nothing more. It was close to town (Keystone) and was close to Mount Rushmore. The price was satisfactory. I was happy with this place. Noise is a huge dissatisfier for me and even though this place was right on the road, due to the large berm that was behind us noise was not an issue.

Quiet campground. Full hook ups and had cell coverage and TV/WiFi as well. Mature tress (pine trees) didn’t even need to run AC. Right below highway (Couldn’t hear cars even when sitting outside) that takes you right to crazy horse/Mount Rushmore and just a very very short drive to the town. Town is a tourist trap and prices are high but if you need basic supplies they have it. Over all yes we would go back and camp there again.
