I stayed at the Rapid City KOA for a week in July. I had a "premium" site; not very level end to end but lots of space between sites. Very clean grounds and facilities. Every staff member I had contact with was pleasant. I got lazy and bought their breakfast three mornings, very good food. It is in a central location for the Black Hills and Badlands NP.
I was asked on check-in if I had any pets and said yes. Later, when I looked at my receipt, I found a pet charge. I went back to the office and said I had never been charged for my cat before. The lady refunded the charge and said the clerk should have asked what kind of pet? They do not charge for cats, birds, hamsters, etc. She did say they have had guests with pet pigs and goats. They do charge for those and require them to be on a leash and to pick up after them.
