We took my elderly in-laws and our kids but scheduled it without realizing in advance it was Sturgis week. I checked in at the KOA office to let them know we were going to be at the cabin, but the desk clerk said we didn’t need to check in with them but we’d have to pay to use the pool or rec areas. The owner sent great instructions on how to access the cabin, but I still had to ask for help before I found the obvious sign out front. Oops! The cabin was huge, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Yes, the KOA retention ponds are in view, but have no odor to the cabin and geese, deer, and horses are all frequent visitors around the ponds. Mountain views are a tip of your head upwards! The attached KOA is busy and can be loud, but we did take advantage of their dining facilities and ice cream shop when we couldn’t get in anywhere else due to bike traffic. The beds were comfortable and the extra blankets came in handy for chillier mornings. The kitchen and coffee pot were a blessing! We used the dvd player to unwind with the kids. The kids loved climbing the large rocks and seeing the chipmunks run up the exterior of the fireplace. The cabin was tucked far enough away from the campground that the only real noise was nature and the horses being rounded up, which we enjoyed seeing. We did take the scenic Palmer Gulch Road out the back of the campground to avoid all the foot traffic, and loved the pretty views and winding road into Hill City. We wish we could have stayed longer!
