Epic Guide to the Mount Rushmore KOA

Published: Jun 25, 2014 · This post may contain affiliate links

During the RV trip we took across the country we had the opportunity to spend a few nights at the Mount Rushmore KOA!

The Mount Rushmore KOA was absolutely amazing and a well-needed break from driving! We were so impressed with all of the activities that are offered at the Mount Rushmore KOA!

The RV sites at the Mount Rushmore KOA were sooooo easy to pull into!

This was our first time driving a 32 foot RV and we really appreciated how easy it was to park the RV and pull out of the spot.

If you don't feel like cooking or need a few minutes to relax there are a pub and restaurant on site.

 

The Mount Rushmore KOA has more than 500 spaces available for RV's and campers! You can also rent a cabin on-site if you do not want to stay in a tent or RV.

We did not stay in a cabin but a couple of bloggers on the trip did and they said they were amazing. Full-size bedrooms and bathrooms were a much-needed treat for them after living in an RV for a week.

    We have a big trailer, love that this place is easy to pull into - it's hard to find great spots that have this! Sounds like a great place!
