we're here at the second-largest KOA in all of the United States are you curious
as to which one it is stay tuned and we'll tell you all about it
...Music playing...
so this is part of the joys of living in an RV with one bathroom is that somebody
and I'm not going to mention that person's name however somebody in our
family tends to take a long time in the bathroom so it's a good thing that we
have bath houses at the campgrounds that we can walk down to you when somebody
decides to monopolize the bathroom time it's not me it's not me and neither is
it Dakota and neither is it mom
...Music playing...
so here at Mount Rushmore koa
this is the second largest koa
lots of campsites there's cabins there's a lodge
just tons of room for anybody really from any walk
whether you're in our RV'er or not to be able to come enjoy this area
Mount Rushmore National Monument it's about a ten minute drive from here and so that's
a great place to go see if you've never been there
highly recommend checking that out it's a really fun place to go and see
especially with the kiddos so really great place to stay just tons of
amenities that the Black Hills are beautiful the forest is beautiful like
when we pulled in the first thing I noticed was just the smell of the pine
trees which was just beautiful kind of like a little bit of slice of heaven in
a way cool mornings cool evenings just a really beautiful environment

and right here
so this particular resort campground whatever
you want to call it this is a really cool time for us to be here because the
first time we ever came here was when our son was just a baby and we
actually stayed in you remember we actually stayed in the lodge because we
weren't even into RVing then he was just baby
he's just an event so we stayed in the lodge but we loved this place so much
it's so beautiful that a few years later when we had a couple of kids there just
a little bit older we came and stayed in one of their cabins which was really
really cool place so now that we have an RV we were super excited to be able to
come back in the RV this time and be able to actually glamp here at the mount
rushmore KOA in the Black Hills of South Dakota in our RV there are so many
amenities that this koa has from the pool to a splash pad a climbing rock
wall Gaga ball bike rentals ATV rentals a waterslide it also has several
different stores that you can go shop at they serve food right here on the
premises so if you're having one of those days where you're feeling a little
lazy and you don't want to cook then you're in luck and you can just order
food right here on the premises this is a very large campground there's so many
acres and acres there's also something for everybody so as I mentioned just a
few minutes before our first trip here was before we were Rv'ers and we
stayed in the lodge in kind of like a hotel room our second trip ever here we
rented one of the cabins and it was just a beautiful experience we were able to
still enjoy the area and kind of enjoy roughing it in a little bit of a way
sleeping in a cabin and now we are here as our years and we just love the
experience of being able to stay in the campground and it's just the most
beautiful setting here in the Black Hills National Forest area there is a
bike shop where you can rent some pedal bikes and ride around the campground or
if you have your own bikes this is a great campground to just ride the bikes
around it's so spacious and there's so much to see and do here that having some
bikes or a golf cart or renting the bikes that they have here is a great way
to get around and see some things while you're here at a campground this
campground is a KOA resort which really means you wouldn't ever have to plan on
leaving this is a great place to come especially if maybe you don't want to
bring a tow vehicle with you and you want to just go someplace where you can
stay and enjoy your time here and not ever have to leave
they have horseback riding right here on the premises just so many things that
you can do and see without ever having to leave so we have been enjoying just a
really nice weekend here we actually got in later than what we anticipated we had
a little problem with our rig when we were in Cheyenne Wyoming where it was
wanting to overheat on us and so we had to stop and get a quick repair made and
thankfully it was a very quick repair with no major issues at
so we got in a little bit later than what we wanted which cut our time here
short a little bit but it's okay we had a wonderful time when we were here right
now this particular visit Ben's dad and his stepmom are here with us they live
in the area so they've been visiting with us so we're gonna go back over to
their rig here and see if they've got breakfast cook in and what's going on
so I Ieft the Blackstone grill on
and I run out of propane
So I'm gonna go and head over to the store at camp right here
and grab some more propane
unlock the steering
back break that's a front brake is the clutch what's the clutch

so barely two scoops is one scoop one ginormous scoop
this is funny every time I see Mount Rushmore I always think about that
Superman movie the guy took over and they lasered his face over George
Washington instead and then I got rid of the other presidents so if your time I
see Mount Rushmore I think of that Superman movie it was hilarious
