![]() ![]() Nor on the swimming pool, except to say that they do have one. I don’t remember if anyone used the bathhouse at all, so I can’t report on that. It’s worth noting that you’ll likely have a view of the tower from anywhere in the campground it’s just that there might be other trailers and whatnot in the way if you don’t get the row on the edge. But then we got a little turned around trying to read the somewhat confusing campground map and going by the dump station was less straightforward than it was supposed to be. In fact, he decided not to mess with it all since we were just staying one night and to hit the dump station on the way out instead. Dave also did not love that the sewer hose had to go uphill. If we had been in the site right next door we would have had no problem (or, you know, if we didn’t have such a long trailer). I think it was there to get keep people from hitting the electric box you can see in the photo up there. The site itself was very nice and plenty long for our trailer, but we did have a lot of trouble getting backed into it thanks to a very inconveniently placed post next to the road across from the site. But we were in a row of grassy sites with an unobstructed view of the tower these are all back in sites. I believe they were all or mostly gravel sites (and gravel roads). Campsites:įor the most part, this is a fairly typical KOA, with a mix of pull through and back in sites, relatively close together. We paid $75 after our VKR discount (some of that was for having too many kids)….again, you’re paying for the location and the relative lack of competition here. But there’s a big area to park in while you wait, and we didn’t have any trouble. Even though we were there on a Monday night the first half of June, the campground was pretty packed, and there was often a line to check in. We had a fairly short drive on our arrival day, coming from Custer State Park, but there is a good bit of off the interstate driving (much of it with views of the tower). And we did! I’ll talk more about that in the next section, but if you’re going to be here anywhere near peak season, reserve as far in advance as you can it’s one of the only games in town, so it stays pretty busy. We booked early here because we wanted to make sure to get a site with a great view. You can get a wee bit closer by staying at the campground inside the park, but there are no hookups at that one. It dominates the landscape for miles and miles. To be fair, it’s pretty tough to be anywhere near Devil’s Tower and NOT have a great view. The main thing the Devil’s Tower KOA has going for it is its proximity to the park (it’s right outside the gates) and that view. This was one of my favorite moments from our trip: brothers spending the evening hanging out at the campground playground with Devil’s Tower in the background. ![]()
