Devils Tower / Black Hills KOA Journey

We stayed at the Devils Tower / Black Hills KOA Journey in August 2025, and it ended up being one of my favorite stops on our trip out west. The location was incredible—we could see Devils Tower right from our RV site, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Getting into and out of our spot was easy, and hooking up the RV was quick and straightforward. The Wi‑Fi worked great, the staff was responsive and friendly, and the campground was very clean and well kept. There were also great laundry facilities on the property, which made it convenient to catch up on chores during our stay. We even enjoyed visiting the very cute general store attached to the KOA. Overall, it was a fantastic stop, and we would definitely visit again.

This KOA is certainly in a good location; sites were level and showers were great but; not a great check in experience; apparently I was asking too many questions (that had already been mentioned); the woman was short/curt when I asked her something she had already mentioned (when did the store close); "yes, I said it and wrote it down"...we just got off the road, maybe my brain wasn't engaged but no need to be rude; also, the campground road to get in/out is confusing! They need a little better signage for exiting...Thankfully only staying one night.

We were here in Sept 2025. What a view from our site. Super nice park and the store had ICE CREAM. Live entertainment. To walk around the base of the tower was a great walk and gave a good perspective. Live bison and longhorns roaming about near the base. Not much else in the immediate vicinity but we were there to see the tower. Seeing the climbers at night was cool. We were able to walk our dogs on nearby roads where we saw a horse farm and there’s a brewery/saloon nearby.

Absolutely loved this campground! The view of Devils Tower is breathtaking; waking up to that skyline was unforgettable. The facilities are top-notch: restrooms and showers were spotless, and the little store had everything we needed. Best of all, we got to watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind right here, where parts of it were filmed. Such a surreal and awesome experience. Highly recommend!

Beautiful!!! Everything about this magical setting! The best pictures I got of the Tower were not from my hike, but from camp. Watched Close Encounters with the Tower as a backdrop, watching the sunset and lights of climbers coming down in the dark, all great memories of a lovely stay. Super friendly staff as well!
