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!

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.

This seems like a great place for a family to stay. That RV area looks like it has alot of room. Id like to travel in a RV one day.

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!

Looks like you had a wonderful time! We have been wanting to get to Mt. Rushmore for the last few years. One of these days! Looks awesome! How fun to go in an RV too! I've never been in one before.
