Guess which KOA RV Campground is the 2nd largest in America & Canada? Palmer Gulch pitside of Keystone, South Dakota is situated in the Black Hills National Forest of South Dakota.
It's near Mount Rushmore National Monument! We've actually been traveling to this KOA at Palmer Gulch for several years now. It's a favorite for everyone because you can stay in the lodge (think like a hotel), bunk up in a cabin, use a full hook up RV site or snag a tent site. This KOA resort has something for everyone! Definitely an RV life favorite.

As a person who worked there, I will say it's a awesome place!! Working there is amazing. Especially working for REC! If anyone is trying to find a good job, I suggest this. It's an amazing opportunity to work there, and see all sorts of things!

Hello! Me and my family love going on camping trips with our 40 foot RV, and we have been to over 22 states so far...We have been to the very first koa ever made in the us, and largest, the one in this video, and even the highest in elevation which is the Cripple Creek koa at over 10,000 feet in elevation...It really is a fun thing to do! We've been to lots of other amazing tourist attractions such as Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, and the Grand Ole Opry...

@GratefulGlamper 4 года назад

@halliestephen-castro4828 2 года назад

Palmer's Gulch- We really had such high expectations but we did not enjoy it at all. This was summer 2018- staffing at campground was an issue. Some things were closed or the wait time was awful. The walk to the bathrooms from tour cabin was treacherous (especially when you have to pee in the middle of the night). The "all you can eat pancake breakfast" ran out of pancakes by 8 am. The horses looked miserable. It was so crowded and just not a great experience. We went to Custer KOA summer 2021 and had an amazing time. Smaller campground (and much more reasonable cost). Not as many "frills" but we had an amazing time and our experience was all around so much better.

@GratefulGlamper 2 года назад

So sorry to hear! We’ve stayed at Palmer Gulch many times over the past 10 or so years and loved it. Good to know about Custer KOA too.

@johnjackson374 3 года назад

Well hello there. I love you channel and yes I’ve subscribed. I’ve never been RVing but I’ve ALWAYS wanted to. I’ve been doing a ton of research (still not sure what a KOA is). Seems like the more I know the more questions I have. I wanted a class A then I thought a 5th wheel would be better in case my RV broke down. Recently I saw a few videos on a Super Class C and I’m sold. As a person of color, are there places I should avoid? I’m sad to even have to ask that question. Also, do all campers inevitably host mice? Yuck 😁

@davidl6671 3 года назад

Keep researching John. We have a 5th wheel and love it. Friends rented two times to get an idea for their pull behind. We had a long Class C and didn’t like how it got blown around when windy and not having a car separately. Ours was 32’ so a long for the short wheel base. Overall liked the turn the key and go option and may go to Class A in the future. Not sure about person of color factor and haven’t experienced anything obvious, but I recognize your situation is potentially different. Here in the West I doubt you would have any issues and I guess there is always someone to ruin ones camping, but believe the exception not the rule. Of course not the best time to buy given all, but winter months and used might not be a bad idea. Good luck.

@Checo1 3 года назад

Hi..I am planning my first time RV trip with my family during Christmas time. We are in Houston so we are looking to see some snow and ski ⛷️... Any recommendations close to Colorado or any other location? I am thinking o a RV Trailer to be delivered to the camp. Thanks all ..

@GratefulGlamper 3 года назад

Rving in winter comes with some special items needed, heat tape for the water and sewer hoses, lots of propane, and some sort of skirting. Also several RV parks that are in cold weather states like Colorado will close for the winter because they winterize all of the water Spicket’s. You might be able to find some thing open closer to ski areas but just remember RVing in the winter months take some extra effort.

@Checo1 3 года назад

@@GratefulGlamper Thank you so much for the advice, I think I will need to change plans for RV in a different season.

@rvingtheusa 2 года назад

The hub KOA in Billings is now adding a $8 recreation resort fee to their already pricey $70 with no sewer spaces. They need to ask the failing Las Vegas hotels how that's working out for them, now. I have stayed in many and hate to see the greed, ruin a good thing.

We were highly disappointed with this Koa. It was packed, and everything was poorly maintained. Gross pools, peeling paint and splinters on all tables, seats, cabins. Pretty broken down when we stayed In August. Will not be going back 😔 Btw I love your family RV videos, and we have that shirt, My kids go to RCS as well 😊

@GratefulGlamper 3 года назад

We love RCS! Bummer that it sounds like they are letting the campground get into disrepair 😔
