2 | FUN Times History at LONG HISTORY OF SERVING

GUE STS Palmer Gulch

The Mount Rushmore Resort at Palmer Gulch has a rich history. In 1925, a mining engineer had a vision for developing a country club in the Black Hills. He and other investors purchased land along Palmer Creek, at the base of Harney Peak, just five miles west of Mount Rushmore. Over the years, through several ownership changes, cabins were built and golf, horseback riding, picnicking and touring the Black Hills became popular activities. In 1962, new owners returned the golf course to its natural state of valleys and meadows and focused on travelers looking for a dude ranching experience. Our current owners took over in 1972 with the vision to further develop The Mount Rushmore Resort at Palmer Gulch into a destination full of great camping sites, camping cabins and other quality lodging options. It became affiliated with KOA in 1976.
