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!

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!

This is a really nice KOA at the foot of Devils Tower. The sites were long and pretty level. The camp store was really well stocked and the burgers were vey good at the cafe. We really enjoyed the hay ride and although the sun angle was not great for photography we did get some nice sunset pictures. A special early morning photography hayride would be a tremendous add on. On our ride we saw turkey, deer, a bunny and the ranches longhorns and buffalo. After the ride we treated ourselves to some delicious ice cream at the cafe.
