Wednesday, 15 August 2018 – Travel Day to Mount Rushmore

Our site at the Mt Rushmore KOA.
The obligatory picture of Mount Rushmore. Not the best light.

Today we drove from Medora ND, to Mount Rushmore KOA Campground near Hill City SD.  The drive took us 7 hours with lunch break, which is long for us.  The KOA turned out to be the biggest campground RV resort we’ve been in yet. This place has two pools, a water slide, a splash pad, mini-golf, horses with trail rides, a burger joint, an adult grill and taproom, and more. The campground has about 500 campsites. Wow. After setup we headed to nearby Mount Rushmore National Monument. The monument was really interesting and impressive. After the monument we went back to Hill City to the Miner Brewery. We thought it might be a good place for dinner but it was primarily a brewery with snacks that weren’t great.
