This is not a friendly, helpful campground. And, for what you received, it was expensive. However, it is location, location, location. It's right at the base of Devil's Tower and they show the movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our favorite campground amongst all the ones we've visited in our 3 years of RVing. Beautiful scenery right from your RV, level and clean sites, nice pool and restaurant, good satellite TV dish placements. We will definitely stay here whenever our travels take us to this area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Quite wonderful. Seasonal gnats, but the thunderstorm washed them away. Shower and washroom facilities a little closer to the camping cabins would have been nice. And they show "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" right there in the shadow of the monolyth. WOW!! That and the Thunderstorm, I thought the aliens had landed! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good view of Devil's Tower and right at entrance to national monument. Our level, back-in site with water and electric adjacent to tenting area was nice. Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch buffet. Movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is shown every night. No TV but WiFi was good. Site was partly shaded with some grass. Tenting are looked very nice. Best bet for visiting Devils Tower which is well worth the side trip! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Typical KOA, small sites little grass, but it is beautiful in that it is in the shadow of the Devils Tower. It was Sturgis week, so all sites were full, but it was quiet. We would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an excellent campgrounds, plenty of room between sites. We were camping with our 8 yr old grandson and he loved the pool and playground area. Excellent location to Devils Tower. Highly recommend a visit to this campgrounds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not as many activities as at your typical KOA, but we were only here for one night to see Devil's Tower. The pool was real nice and we enjoyed watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the Campgrounds big TV. Nice hot showers; I think this is the only campground where I could have burned myself with the hot water! Good shade trees, but not much grass. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a beautiful, convenient KOA campground. Right at the entrance to Devils Tower and a view of the Tower is present at the campground. Lots of shade trees and our site was perfectly level. Did not have to do anything. The Staff could not have been better. We will definitely come back here, again. WIFI was great but no TV, but who really cares when off and enjoying being together as a family. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Average park in a beautiful setting. No cable. No off-air TV for those that want that. Right outside the entrance to Devils Tower NP. Some tourist trap stores located across the road ($2.25 for a $.30 shaker of salt.) Showers so-so. 1st night very quiet. 2nd night a charity group started at 6 pm. Music got louder at 8pm. At 11 pm they turned the music down. At midnight organ music from a horror film! I fell asleep right after that but woke up in time for the 2 am bingo game! It ended at 2:30. Would have been nice if they'd have warned us. Extremely inconsiderate of them. 10 for setting. 4 for facilities. 0 for lack of consideration and noise. Overall 1. My wife and I saw deer, fox, antelope, and turkey in the area. Still, I would think twice about staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Perfect Location for Devils Tower - abuts the Tower entrance. It's early in the season and the park needs some attention - primarily not mowed. Excellent and friendly management. When we mentioned the site needed mowing - it was completed within an hour. Fairly level sites - although it took time to position the RV even with levelers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Magnificent view - absolutely. Overpriced park - I think so. The park has been in the family for almost 40 years and the current, second generation owners use camper workers to operate and maintain the park. Thus, probably no mortgage and little, if any, payroll. The facilities are just adequate (full hookups, nice sites, OK pool) to disappointing (weak/sporadic WIFI, very old bathroom/laundry facility). If not for the view, this is a $25 park. This park must have one of the highest profit margins in the business. There is no indication that any of the profit is being put back into the park. They need to upgrade the facilities (new bathroom, better WIFI, and add cable) to justify charging almost $40. In 30 reviews for 2006, this is the first time I have lowered a park's rating due to price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The location of this place is a "10". The views of Devil's Tower are spectacular. The bathrooms brought the rating down. Not horrible, just average. Nice pool. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed here on an overnight to see Devil's Tower. A great campground with clean laundry facilities and a fantastic view of Devil's Tower. Everything we used was clean. The campground had a nice general store. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is practically at the entrance to Devil's Tower NP. The campground is well-maintained and the staff friendly. There is ample space between sites, many sites have large shade trees, and almost all have a view of the tower. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wished we could have stayed an extra day. I don't recommend that you buy the chicken dinner they offer to deliver to your campsite. Although it's convenient, the chicken isn't that great and the mashed potatoes and gravy are absolutely horrible. We were tired after driving all day and didn't feel like cooking, but should have! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice CG, very family oriented. Roads are gravel but very level and taken care of. Great view of Devils Tower from the CG. The trail around Devils tower is only 3 minutes away. A must in my opinion to stop and see. Our kids liked 3rd Encounters of the Third Kind which they show every night. There were some red canyon wall to one side of the park which I found fascinating. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We've stayed here before and like it a lot. Found the staff very nice. The sites are spacious and the setting is spectacular. Were lucky enough to be there for 4th of July and saw the most incredible fireworks display. Would go out of our way to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We only stayed one night. I specifically asked if we could have a campfire at our campsite
as we were cooking our food on the campfire and I was told by 2 employees at that time that "yes" we could. I asked if they sold wood to burn and I paid for 2 bundles. One employee said he would bring me the bundles of wood and asked what our campsite number was. I told him this information. When we pulled into our campsite, we noticed our sites (we were traveling with another RV) did not have a campfire ring. A few hours passed and no wood was brought so one of my party went to the office to inquire. Soon thereafter an employee walked down to our campsite 2 bundles of wood and we were told to go to an empty tent site and grab an un-used fire ring to use to burn our campfire. We did this, which I thought was strange, but the employee advised us that it was ok. Soon after we started our fire, a man on a horse and in cowboy get-up came up to us and told us to immediately put out our campfire and that we were not allowed to have campfires in that area of the campground "how dare we even try such a rebelious act." This was after I told him that many different employees told us we could and that they even brought us the wood to burn! He was incredibly rude and he never identified himself as the owner/manager of the campground. After a few minutes of him continuing to badger us about the campfire, we put out the fire and my husband and my brother walked up to the office to find out what was going on. Apparently there was a huge problem with communication in the office/staff of the campground and we were eventually given a 20% credit. Apparently the reason campfires were NOT allowed in that part of the campground was because we were in the "RV" part of the campground and "RVers" do not want campfires because of the smoke caused by them. I thought this was a ridiculous excuse. This was unacceptable to me. I specifically asked about a campfire before checking in, the campground placed us where we could not have one, delivered us the wood, and then we were chastised for doing what we were told. We had neighboring campsites come up to us after this incident asking what the commotion was about. I was terribly embarassed. Whatever this campground had going for it, was completely deminished in my mind and I would not recommend anyone staying here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Visited early season, May, so campground was in the process of preparing for the coming
season and not all facilities open. Only one restroom/shower building open out of two. We stayed in a Kamping Kabin for around $40/night. Very expansive
and picturesque campground with dramatic view of Devils Tower from entire campground. Appears to be only campground immediately near D.T. so probably very
busy during summer. Restroom/showers OK but could use some upgrading, especially the shower units. We camped here in a Campground Cabins.

This was an OK campground as far as KOAs go. It had a good view of the tower and was convenient to the entrance. We had a good visit and a good night's rest and a good time at the tower. Safe and quiet. They were just opening for the season in May 2003 when we visited and were cleaning up the place at the time. If you are going to the tower this is the place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground just at the base of Devils Tower. This campground had a heated pool, a nice playground and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind playing nightly. We camped here in a camper.
Arrived after dark, and it sure was nice to not have to worry about backing into a spot - all the spots are pull thrus along the loops. When we woke up in the morning, we had a fabulous view of Devil's Tower behind us. Bathhouse was clean and in good shape. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you can dry camp this is a delightful place, shaded by enormous cottonwoods, with large level sites easy to get into. The ambience invokes peace. The park is a long walk to the Tower and prairie dogs live in the near by field. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
No hook-ups, no showers and simple bathrooms but we really liked being so close to the monument. It made it easy for us to do the hike around Devil's Tower in the evening when it was a bit cooler. Many sites had some shade depending on the position of the sun, most were large enough for our 30 ft class A. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are small. Hookups on wrong side. No 30 amp electric just 50 amps. A 30 amp adapter can be had with a $50.00 deposit. After looking over the area I chose to not stay here and got my money back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
