Devils Tower - Black Hills KOA Journey

We stayed for a night at this KOA after visiting Devil's Tower. The staff were friendly and helpful, the sites were level (all with spectacular views of the tower), the utilities all worked as expected, and they show Close Encounters on the big screen under the stars every night. Highly recommended.

Spent two nights here. Cost $61.00 a night without discount, $55.00 with discount. The location was fabulous. We had a close encounter with the tower of our own! The staff was great. WiFi was good. They are installing a premium WiFi which will be ready next season. They have no cable but did provide satellite cord. Which we didn’t use. The roads were gravel, the sights had well maintained grassy areas with many mature shade trees. There was also a nice outdoor pool. All in all a nice looking KOA. I would stay here again.

I spent May 27 - May 30 (Memorial Day) at Devils Tower KOA. I want to start by thanking the owners and staff for providing a wonderful experience in an amazing location. Every part of our vacation was just made that much better by all their efforts. The camp store is not only well supplied with trinkets and souvenirs it also has a wide variety of items that you may have forgotten or didn't decide you needed until you got there and the prices are really good. I've stayed at several other KOAs and campgrounds in general all over the U.S. and between the views, the accommodation and most definitely the staff this is hands down the best one yet. It is immediately outside of the park entrance and the Devils Tower Monument Visitor's Center is a two-three mile walk away and then another mile to walk around the base of the tower. The camp has a full playground and pool, carriage rides and they show the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" almost every night with the Tower behind the screen. I'm already looking at going back there in September. I can't recommend staying here strongly enough. Thank you all and we'll certainly be back!

First time at a KOA Campground. Great location, clean showers, very level site. They offered a hayride in the evening(6.00). They also showedClose Encounters movie. My only complaint is the price. We are on a 5 week trip and this is our most expensive site of the trip.

I pulled in for a last-minute stay on a Saturday night. All the rest areas and national forest campgrounds have been closed due to budget cuts and the pandemic. They had availability. The price was ridiculous, but I just wanted a good night's sleep. I didn't even get that. People kept walking through my campsite, talking, which led my dogs to bark. There are no trees, or logs, or any other kind of useful landscaping that would delineate or ornament the sites. It's a big open field. At least the tent campers have beautiful trees! Pull through spots were smaller than most of the back in and tent sites.

Worse yet, there's poop everywhere. I don't know what animals, but they're at least three different types. I can keep my dogs away from deer and/or rabbit poop, but there was a much larger animal (probably other dogs in the campground) that hadn't been picked up after. It was absolutely disgusting that my site, which is right next to the dog run, wasn't even as clean as the dog run itself.

ATT was screaming, though.

Our site was a back-in and had an amazing view of Devils Tower. This was the nicest, cleanest KOA I have ever stayed in and was perfect for exploring Devils Tower. I just wish there was a safe way to walk into the national monument area, but that is not the KOA’s fault. The sites where I was were spacious and shaded, but other spots in the campground were not so lucky - word to the wise! It was kind of fun that they show the movie, Close Encounters, nightly on an outdoor screen. Unfortunately one of our dogs was not behaving so we had to leave!!!

The KOA is very well maintained but the best part was our view... full view of Devil's Tower. It was truly mesmerizing. The play Close Encounters every night... kind of loud until 9:15 PM but fun. Cows and coyotes were noisy but hey, we were in their space (no aliens spotted). As others mentioned, the only downside was the cost but again, the view/location was worth the one night.

Right next to Devils Tower so access to the DT park was short. Pretty open sites. Excellent view of the tower right form the site; a tad costly though. Disappointed that they advertised propane fill but when we got there the fill mechanism was broken.

We wouldn’t stay here again. Seems overpriced when most of the amenities were closed. The pool wasn’t filled, which it should have been open according to their info. That was the only reason I thought the price was worth it, if they had a pool and were not told at check in that it was closed. Our kids were very disappointed. The mini golf was not open. Our kids liked the playground. The nightly movie is a fun idea. Seems like the price should be lower if things are closed that should be open.

So far this is our best KOA experience, though I'm taking off 1 star because the minigolf experience, which looks like a great one, was closed for renovation during peak season which seems inexcusable. Great views of the tower, numerous shade options, working hookups. Our power actually had the polarity reversed, but it worked fine. The dump station had a somewhat odd placement requiring me to drive around reverse of the campsite order to get on the right side, but that seems somewhat usual apparently. Also during rain the dump site was flooded, so make sure you have good gloves! It still worked under the flood waters.

Store was interesting with some great items to pickup, ice cream, and decent food, though during the uptick of delta covid-19 in Wyoming nobody was wearing masks or distancing.

2 great playgrounds for the kids!
