Their laundry facilities are also clean. The park is right on a stop for the deadwood trolley. We were in a tent and stayed on the berm. There was a pleasant stream behind us. The bathroom was just a quick walk away. The people there were so nice too. They have a museum on property and the stagecoach and horses that run through Deadwood originate here at the campground so you can see them before and after. This was our first time to South Dakota but we will definitely be back and when we come back we will be staying here.

Whistler Gulch is truly one of Deadwood's hidden gems. We've stayed here for many years and…read morehonestly wouldn't consider camping anywhere else. The campground is beautifully tucked between the walls of a scenic gulch, surrounded by greenery and wildlife--including a little black bunny that seems to call the campground home. It's incredibly clean, organized, well managed, and paved throughout, which we especially appreciate because it keeps the dust off our RV and vehicles. You can see the thoughtful care everywhere. All RV sites have full hookups, trash is picked up right from your campsite, and there's a basketball court, yard games, and a clean pool and pool deck--perfect after a hot day of sightseeing. There are also tent sites with water and electricity, as well as cabins, so there's something for everyone. The staff is outstanding--friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The charming log cabin office has a comfortable lounge area and basic camping supplies for anything you may have forgotten. Another great feature is the Deadwood trolley, which stops at the campground about every 20 minutes. For only $2, you can ride downtown and enjoy the restaurants, bars, shops, museums, and attractions without worrying about driving or parking. After all these years, we continue to be impressed by how much care goes into Whistler Gulch. It's beautiful, convenient, welcoming, and has helped us create many wonderful memories in Deadwood. We highly recommend it and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Ample room in the spots, a great pool and laundry room, nestled in between two peaks so the stars shine bright and they can accommodate everything from super long to popping a dang tent! Everyone in the office is soooo nice, I'm talkin to you Robin, Tammy and Linda! There's a really friendly man who rolls around in the golf cart too but I don't know his name. Communicative, helpful and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves is what this place is all about.... Also, this location is perfect to enjoy the rally (or whatever event is happening) in either Deadwood or Sturgis but not you're be stuck in the chaos. It's nice and quiet. We've met some great friends camping here though. People walking their dogs or just taking a stroll will stop by if you give them a smile, and I really like that. This is one of those reviews I hope works out well for the establishment but doesn't make it harder for me to get in...... that has happened lol Totally worth the risk though..... it's a great place to vacation so I had to share!

Unfortunately, the day we arrived the water main broke Anna had no water for a day and a half. However, the office refunded one night stay without us even asking. I will say the RV's were only feet apart from each other so was a little noisy in the morning. The office store was nice. It had a coffee machine and many souvenirs. The people running the faculty were amazing. My husband needed emergency dental work and they gave us a few hours extra to check out.

The good: The two showers that one half of the entire park shares are pretty nice and big with a toilet and sink in it. A private area to shower. The bad: The water pressure. The good: The one-room cabin is nice. The bad: No refrigerator in the cabin. The very worst thing is that the night we got there, the front desk did not know that the trolley was regularly running, with several people on it. Instead, they said we would have to text or call the driver. (He is busy driving.........!) So needless to say, we drove and as we were driving down the KOA driveway,leaving to go to Deadwood, we had to move out of the way for the &;&;)@$ trolley that was driving up. Would have been nice if the front desk would have made it their business to find out trolley info. One more thing: The two donkeys running loose made all the dogs go nuts.

The surroundings, setting, vibe, atmosphere, a true mountain campground & resort with over friendly owners, staff (always here to help!) and tenants! Good food, clean bathrooms, nice laundry rooms, beautiful tent sites, a river runs through the campground. There is also a heated swimming pool. This place is quiet at night so you can enjoy your rides during the day. You can just stop by to fish a trout an they'll prepare it for you. Nice crispy trout with a cold one, exactly what I need during my vacations. Best value for money accommodation during the Sturgis rally. There are also cabins for rent on site. I'll go there again...soon! (make sure you book like 10 months in advance...)

Would they refund my Credit Card for the 2 more nights we booked and didn't use? NO! "Sorry no refunds" I was told. This place is pitiful. Do not stay here. Stay at KOA from now on.

There is a small clubhouse where you can sit and watch tv, make some coffee, play foosball, use the microwave, etc. This is a place we will come back to and revisit again and again!
