Lodge At Palmer Gulch - A historic Black Hills resort with mountain cabins, pools, and extensive outdoor activities

Nestled in the Black Hills, this 3-star Hill City hotel combines the Mount Rushmore Lodge's 61 spacious rooms with the Mount Rushmore KOA Resort facilities. The lodge features a grand two-story fireplace built from Crazy Horse Memorial granite, while accommodation options range from royal and presidential suites to mountain cabins sleeping up to 12 guests. Two pools, two heated spas, and a waterslide form part of the central Fun Zone entertainment area. The resort offers horseback riding, a 26-foot climbing tower, mini-golf at the Kowboy Kountry Club, and a stocked fishing pond. Dining venues include The Peak Grill & Tap Room, serving Angus burgers and steaks, plus the traditional Chuck Wagon Dinner Show in a mountain meadow. Located 2.5 miles from Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Lodge At Palmer Gulch provides direct access to Black Hills National Forest trails.
