South Dakota: A Family’s Playground, Part 2

Our family vacation to South Dakota was so fantastic, it had to be broke up into three different sections!  In case you missed Part 1, you’ll want to go back and find out about the Corn Palace, Badlands Scenic Loop, & Bear Country USA.  Those are things you certainly don’t want to miss if you are thinking about a trip to South Dakota!  But, for today, I bring you the South Dakota Air & Space Museum & Mount Rushmore!

Mount Rushmore KOA/Pulmer Gulch Resort

As many of my followers know, our family recently returned from our yearly family vacation to South Dakota. We had a fantastic time full of laughs, great weather, adventures, and memories to last a lifetime!  One of the things that helped this was our stay at the Pulmer Gulch Resort/Mount Rushmore KOA.

Finding the Right Campground

Since the boys (all 3) and myself are campers, we knew we wanted to stay at a great campground. We also knew it would need to be a KOA since those are our favorite for long stays due to full-hook ups (water and sewer at the site).  We are also KOA members, which means a discount! (WOOHOO!) We started researching and were pleased to find that there are numerous KOA facilities within South Dakota.  T did the majority of the research, I must admit, but did a fantastic job and decided on the Mount Rushmore KOA at Palmer Gulch in Hill City, SD for our visit.  He made a great choice!  Why so great?  Here are our pro’s & con’s from our visit!
