The location is also great: it feels tucked away and peaceful, yet it's just minutes from town and right across the street from an amazing Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend this hidden gem. I'll definitely be back!

We spent the majority of our day biking along the 3.5 mile paved bike trail that follows on the outside of the lake. It was a moderately difficult trail that had it's many ups and downs, however, not too bad considering I was carrying 2 kiddos in a bike trailer that made it heavier and harder to do. Most of the facilities were closed due to Covid but the area as a whole is beautiful, and we cannot wait to go back. If you have a boat, you've got to check this place out. There is another state recreation area on the west side that we didn't get to go to unfortunately but our trip was totally worth it. Another quick note, please ensure that when booking a campsite, you know what you are getting. Many of the sites only haveelectric but some had noth electric and water. Finally, if you live in SD state parks, just go ahead and get the annual membership. By the time you go to Custer once and another time here or another park, it practically pays for itself.

Loved staying at this campground! We were there for almost a week, and I really appreciated the…read moreamenities that they had. We were in a tent site, with electric which was handy. We weren't too far from the shared bathrooms which was great. What felt above and beyond were real amenities like the pool (which we sadly didn't end up using), a true general store with ice and other essential items, and the fact that they even did delivery directly to campsite for firewood (which was amazing!). In addition to that there was a playground for kids, mini golf, and corn hole. The only minor detractors were the highway noise nearby, which isn't really the campgrounds fault. There are signs saying engine braking isn't allowed on that section of the highway, but there was still a lot of engine noise from truckers throughout the night. Another detractor was the small size of the fire rings. It looked like they were old brake drums from a large truck. What made this challenging is that the firewood logs didn't properly fit, which made cooking over the fire challenging, but not impossible. This is personally my first experience with KOA, but I was so impressed I look forward to staying at more of their properties!

We stayed for four nights in late May at the Hot Springs, SD KOA…read more We have visited the Black Hills several times over the years and wanted a quieter experience than is offered at Palmer Gulch or Rafter J. This KOA at Hot Springs definitely fit the bill! A beautiful little KOA right off Highway 79 close to downtown Hot Springs. We used this KOA as a base of operations for exploring the Black Hills / Custer / Rushmore area in addition to Badlands National Park and of course, Wall Drug! Although not as close to Rushmore as Hill City, the drive through Custer State Park is absolutely amazing! Our site was a FHU pull-through patio #51. This is a great site as it's on the end with lots of room on the camp side. Very long with ample room for tow vehicles / toads. As we travel with two juvenile labrador retrievers (LOL) getting them exercise was not a problem. Their dual area fenced Kamp K9 was a great place to let them let off steam. A lush grassy enclosure! There is also a leashed pet walk area at the back of the campground to walk the pups . Pine trees are everywhere and it created a nice shaded atmosphere. Interior roads are dirt and sites are gravel, but dust was no problem. Our patio site seemed fairly new and had lots of room with table, chairs, fire ring and gas grill. There was also lots of space to set up our outdoor dog pen. Perhaps it was the time of year, but everything in the area was very green and beautiful. We did have haze from the Canadian fires one night, but it was not a problem. Staff was very helpful and offered tips on the surrounding areas. Camp store was smaller, but had a good variety of items. Pool was not open for the season yet, but it looked nice!

First, the hospitality and management are down to earth. Very friendly and were able to answer all our questions. They have a small store with some basics.. mustard, ketchup, and beer to name a few items. Very friendly. Second, the campsite was very reasonable considering full hookups and pull through. The campsites do share water, meaning one main water faucet that is split between two campsites. The pressure isn't a problem at all. Our problem was that my camper's water was on the front left of the camper. Given the sharing, my original 20 or so foot water hose couldn't reach. Our fault for not having an extension, but we ended up having to park the other way with the camper to hook up the water. Bottom line: we are newbie campers, so just make sure you have an extension. Lesson learned. They do have a cool little lake/pond that offers fishing and swimming as well as boat rentals. Water is clear and they have it sectioned off to prevent swimming too deep. Finally, you are within 5 or so minutes of Cold Brook Reservoir, an Army Corp of Engineers recreation area. They have a super nice beach, and facilities there. You are also within minutes of the cool little town of Hot Springs. If you are looking for a cool and out of the way campground with all the amenities, check this place out!

There is a lot of unique things to do in the town of hot springs. I enjoyed the camp ground having walking trails. Every evening I was able to sit on the hill in a quiet and peaceful place to meditate. The lake is super clear and feels amazing, I felt like the water was healing. There is water sports activities to rent. There is cute cabins if you don't have an RV. There is laundry and a store to get things you need. My dogs loved going walking around the lake and the trails. I felt like I was in a high end resort with all the amenities. The price is rather cheap for what all your getting. The views and the environment are very peaceful! If your looking for a place in the black hills this is one that is worth the drive from the parks and gives you so much serenity.

The hookups were convenient and everything was clean and easy to access, making it a very comfortable stay for RV travelers. One of the highlights of our visit was the horseback riding. Riding through the scenic bluffs and open countryside was unforgettable and a perfect way to experience the park's historic landscape. The staff were friendly and helpful, since 3 of us had never ridden a horse before. We were able to walk the stables before our ride and the horses were well cared for, which made the ride enjoyable for everyone in our group. We also loved having a restaurant right in the park. After a day of exploring, it was great to sit down to a hearty meal without having to leave the area. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. For rockhounds, the park is also a short drive from the Crawford Rock Shop, Agate Beds National Park, and public areas to rockhound. Between the beautiful setting, great RV amenities, memorable horseback riding, and the convenient restaurant, Fort Robinson State Park offers a truly well-rounded experience. We'll definitely be back!
