<h2> Welcome to Devils Tower KOA! The campground is part of the historic Campstool Ranch, which has been in the Driskill family for eight generations. We look forward to sharing our legacy with you! </h2> 
<div class="dotted-border-separator koa-yellow-font mt-3 mb-3"></div> 
<p> Devils Tower National Monument, named a "top 10 eco-tourism destination," is America's First National Monument. The monument was established in 1906 by Teddy Roosevelt. Nestled on the banks of the Belle Fourche River in the beautiful Black Hills of Wyoming, this KOA campground lies in the shadow of Devils Tower. Enjoy the nightly hayride through the historic Campstool Ranch, one of the oldest ranches in Wyoming. The movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was filmed on-site in 1976, and it is shown nightly at the campground. This KOA offers a full-service restaurant, an extensive gift shop and a Sweet Shoppe that features legendary fudge, hand-dipped ice cream , and hot cinnamon sugar nuts.</p>
<p><b>Open May 15 - October 15 (depending on snow conditions, please call for off-season reservations). Pool: June 1 - September 1 (depending on weather conditions). Max pull thru: 70 feet. Your hosts: the Driskill family.</b></p>

<h2>Overview</h2><p>The Devils Tower/Black Hills KOA Journey offers one of the most iconic backdrops in the American West. Located directly at the base of <strong>Devils Tower National Monument</strong>, this park serves as a gateway for travelers exploring the rugged beauty of Wyoming. It balances the convenience of a Journey-branded KOA with a sense of wonder, famously hosting <strong>nightly screenings of Close Encounters of the Third Kind</strong>, which was filmed on-site. Visitors can expect a well-maintained facility that prioritizes the natural landscape while providing essential modern comforts.</p><h2>Location & Surroundings</h2><p>Situated in the shadow of the nation’s first national monument, the park is surrounded by the pine-covered hills and red rock cliffs typical of the Black Hills region. The <strong>Belle Fourche River</strong> winds nearby, creating a serene environment where wildlife, including large prairie dog colonies, is frequently spotted. The elevation and open skies make for <strong>exceptional stargazing opportunities</strong>, far removed from the light pollution of major cities, making every evening a peaceful experience under the Wyoming stars.</p><h2>Amenities & Park Features</h2><p>The park is designed to accommodate a wide range of travelers, featuring <strong>spacious pull-thru RV sites</strong> with full hookups and 50-amp service. Guests can enjoy a seasonal outdoor pool, a well-stocked general store, and a playground for children. For those traveling with pets, the dedicated KampK9 area provides a safe space for exercise. A unique feature is the <strong>on-site cafe and fudge shop</strong>, offering convenient dining options for guests who want to spend more time admiring the monument and less time cooking at their campsite.</p><h2>Nearby Attractions & Things to Do</h2><p>The primary draw is the short walk or drive into the monument grounds to hike the <strong>Tower Trail</strong>, a 1.3-mile paved path circling the base of the massive igneous intrusion. Beyond the tower, the park serves as an excellent base for day trips into the <strong>Black Hills National Forest</strong> or the historic town of Hulett. Photographers will find endless inspiration at sunrise and sunset, while nature enthusiasts can explore miles of local trails that showcase the unique geology and diverse flora of the high plains.</p><h2>Who This Park Is Best For</h2><p>This KOA is an ideal match for <strong>family road-trippers</strong> and national park enthusiasts seeking a comfortable home base with spectacular views. It is particularly well-suited for <strong>big-rig owners</strong> who need easy navigation and level sites without sacrificing scenic beauty. Whether you are a solo traveler seeking a quiet night under the stars or a photographer looking for the perfect shot of the tower, this park provides the necessary amenities and proximity to make your Wyoming adventure memorable.</p>

Devils Tower/Black Hills KOA Journey | Devils Tower, WY

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.

We stayed here for a week in August 2025.  When we arrived, there were numerous potholes throughout the campground, depositing mud on most of the RVs there.  Though, I did see Ogden a few days later going around to repair them.  There are also some tight turns in the campground - requiring us to scrape the side of our RV on a tree - despite swinging as wide as possible.  These turns need to be widened and trees trimmed to avoid damage to large RVs.  We did (barely) fit into the site, as long as our truck was turned sideways.  One thing that really irks us is there is a $6 per child fee - which is a ridiculous anti-family policy that needs to be removed.  They apparently also have an early arrival fee... The pool was very basic, and not heated, but there is a pool.  It looks like there is also a hot tub but it was out of service for some reason.  The location of course is great, near Devil's Tower.  The free mini golf was fun.  The wireless Internet, surprisingly, was decent.  In summary, this campground is decent, if overpriced.  There is ample opportunity for improvement.

This is a great KOA! I stayed in a cabin while I was there and it was clean and inviting. The grounds were very well taken care of with flowers and even tomato plants in pots by the cabins! The pool was well taken care of and fun to play in on the hot summer days we were there. The showers were also private, clean, and safe which is important!
My only cons were that everything was very overpriced. I understand it’s a big tourist attraction but they were price gouging on things like 20$ for a little thing of sunscreen and $12 for a 16lb bag of ice.
Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

Loved this KOA. Located next to the Devils Tower, Every evening they show the movie  'Close Encounters'. What fun! Spent the late afternoon hiking around the Devils Tower. Look forward to returning soon!

We got a site right by the river. They played the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind both night we were there. Great fun. One of the better KOA campgrounds I’ve ever stayed at.

Lady is super nice and they able to provide parking even for visitors with semis)
