Rapid City - Black Hill KOA Holiday

Reasonable sized well-kept sites.
- Staff was friendly and helpful.
- Our site had good space between sites with grass and a small patio.
- Restrooms/showers were clean.
- Cable TV connection was available.
- Walmart, fuel and fast foods fairly close.
Be advised that this location is located about 1 mile from the Black Hills Speedway and on a race night, you will feel like you are at the track.

We arrived without a reservation in late October. The campground was officially “closed” but they were open to self check-in self contained (have your own bathroom and shower) RVs. Check in was easy at their kiosk. The sites were fairly level and drive through. There is ample room with a firepit and picnic table. Not much for tree cover. Antenna reception was good for all networks. AT&T had 3 bars 5G. The WIFI was excellent but that may have been a factor of how few people were staying there. It is located fairly centrally in Rapid City so close driving access to Sturgis, Deadwood, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, etc.

Dates: May 11 - 16. This was an awesome KOA. They were able to accommodate us on VERY short notice (morning of) with 30 amp FHU pull through spot. The park was quite large and had multiple laundry facilities and a small arcade. The dog park was decently sized (could have been much bigger though). They had breakfast every morning for a very good price (pancakes, eggs, etc). There was some inclement weather a couple nights (tornado watches and hail warnings) but the staff was very good at alleviating our concerns. Verizon signal was good.

Very nice campground. Clean restrooms and affordable laundry. The area was clean. They offered a nice breakfast every morning and it was very affordable. We had biscuits and gravy, next time will be all I can eat pancakes.

This campground was within about an hour of Badlands NP, Minuteman Missile NHP, Mount Rushmore NM, Jewel Cave NM, Wind Cave NP and the Black Hills NF.

The area was close to busy streets but was fairly quiet. The campsite we stayed in (198) was pretty close to our neighbor’s site. We will definitely think about staying here next time we are in the area.

Upon arrival pulled up to office, greeted by some of the friendliest host!!! Shown to our sites by host. Sites are close but we had the premium site with paved patio and some of the heaviest and awesome outdoor furniture! Had lots for children to do and a game room. Close to downtown Rapid City and a great stop. Even though close to the main road, the noise level was not noticeable. Clean laundry area, bath house was clean. Would stay again!

This was one of the nicest KOA campgrounds we have stayed at so far. The camp hosts were fantastic and were very helpful in our checkin and stay. Bathrooms were very clean and were cleaned several times per day. Showers were fine. There was some road noise from Rt. 44 which was right down the hill but this was not a reason to lower my rating. The pancake breakfast special was delicious, and if you like biscuits and gravy they have done a great job with those as well. There are plenty activities in the campground for kids as well.

This park has alot of stalls and even with all the people, kids, and dogs, I have yet to hear their noises echoing throughout my RV. You would think you are at a remote location by how peaceful it is here. It is well maintained, clean, and very kind. I originally was against KOAs because the ones in Arizona were trashy and like Lord of the Flies, but here it actually changed my mind on them. You are located by alot of restaurants and businesses even within walking distance. Also I am a new RV driver and maneuvering and parking went by very smoothly, so I will be coming back here again

Typical KOA, level sites on the small side. Our neighbor’s tent for his motorcycles was over our sewer hookup. But the most frustrating thing was the WiFi. We could hookup to 3 of the available 4 nodes but couldn’t get to the internet on any of them. I didn’t want to stream TV or movies as requested by the campground but my WiFi extender is activated through the internet. I told the office who said no one else complained so no help. Got a nice map to the bike path to downtown only to find the path blocked because the Central States Fair was going on. Oh well, live and learn.
