    Visiting South Dakota and site seeing so we decided to stay at a koa considering it's a popular campsite I stayed at recent ones in California but this was my first time visiting an out of state koa .What can I say this campsite was cool , our tent site was a pretty nice size with a neat table and fire pit. Showers were decent staff at the front desk were helpful, as well as a fully stocked store. I enjoyed myself.

    No horseplay happening here :)

    Beautiful country and this camp ground nestled right down in the middle. Our tent site. Was super tiny but we were able to make it work and still have enough space for a campfire and s'mores :) laundry facility, game room and showers all very nice. Love the sinks for washing dishes and all the basketballs and volleyballs available for the kids. I recommend this KOA, very nice!

    A nice KOA located very close to the main freeways giving easy access to all of the sights in the area. We had one of the larger pull through sites near the entrance. The roads and sites are gravel, but easy to navigate for big rigs. Each site has a small grass area with a picnic table. The park has all of the standard KOA amenities with a pool, playground, dog area, bathrooms and showers, etc. along with a game room and a pancake breakfast offered most mornings. Wifi was not working at all for us during our stay. See all of our reviews and pictures at thegilliamsisland.

    The cook said, "People say my pancakes taste a little fishy," and then put this on our plate. :-)

    More expensive than other KOA's, no pool. It did have a playground but that was it. We rented a car from them expensive and old!

    The campground sits way off the main road and we never heard any traffic noise.

    We spent 4 nights,August 2024, at Black Elk Resort meeting up with friends. Great location 10…read moreminutes away from Keystone. After site seeing during the day it was great to come back here and visit their tap room for local beers, wine & food if we were still hungry and then sit by the nightly fire. We used the full hookups with our class B travel van while our friends came in thief 40' massive RV's. The restrooms and showers at Black Elk Resort are beautiful,very clean and much larger than the shower in our Van so we used them nightly! They also have a laundry room. Bring your quarters. They also have many cute cabins although we did not have a need for them on this trip. We will be staying here again on our next trip to South Dakota and Custer State Park!

    We recently stayed there for 5 nights, in our RV, end of September. I'll start with positives…read more Great location for all of the local points of interest. Mt Rushmore, Custer state Park, Crazy Horse etc. There is a beautiful covered patio area with BBQ's you can use & a nightly camp fire. Also, a bar, which we didn't frequent. Reality, we were disappointed from the moment we pulled in. The grass was NOT green like the pictures. I realize it was end of season, but, it was 90°! Why not water the lawn? We stayed in the front of the park, right next to the main road. Loud!! Not happy. The website pictures certainly don't show that! Our sights were so slanted, we had to use all of our blocks to jack up our trailer so we were level. Not happy. The water was BROWN! We had to use our water filter & run the water for quite awhile before it was semi clear. Needless to say, we bought bottled water for cooking & drinking. The water was ok for a few days, then almost zero water pressure for showers. By the last day, the water turned disgustingly brown again. Our water filter had turned from clear white to dark brown. Wish I could post a picture of it. We would never stay there again, due to these issues. Just want people to be aware, websites are not what they appear to be.
