What would be "The One?" Thanks

I was there years ago with 27' Class A and no problems.
Consider spending couple of hr at Crazy Horse Monument close by. They build if for decades and it should be close to finish by now.

Can anyone tell me if you can drive a class A motor home into Mount Rushmore National Park where you can see the monument?

Not a problem and stopped there going east and after checking out of the KOA not far away. Checked in the KOA after leaving Sturgis if you're coming from that direction. Did do the night show at Chief Crazy Horse as the KOA has their own van for this, as well as the nighttime Rushmore show. Just didn't do the latter and stopped there in the parking lot during the day, while heading east.

Nice big RV parking area on the south end of the main parking lot - you enter where the cars do

Mount Rushmore National Memorial Parking Facility

Parking is readily available in the memorial's parking complex. The parking facility is operated under a concession contract between the National Park Service and the Mount Rushmore Society. No federal funding was used to construct the parking facility. A parking fee has been authorized to offset the costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance of the parking facility. A parking permit entitles a non-commercial vehicle unlimited entry to the memorial for the calendar year.

The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass, the Annual Pass - Military, the Senior Pass and the Access Pass cannot be used for parking fees at Mount Rushmore National Memorial. These passes cover entrance fees and in some cases provide a discount on special use fees such as camping and tours, but do not cover concession fees such as parking.
Parking Fees

Cars, Motorcycles and RVs $11 per vehicle
Commercial Tour Bus $50*
Verified, nonprofit Educational Bus $25*

*Parking passes for buses are valid for 24 hours from time of first entry.

Parking fees may be paid with cash, traveler's check, local personal check or with Visa or Mastercard.

Additional Information

No reservations are needed to visit the memorial. Parking for vehicles pulling trailers or extra long vehicles is extremely limited.

For questions concerning parking and parking fees, please call Presidential Parking, Inc. at (605) 574-2643.

Although the park is free there is a charge to park there. I believe our RV cost us a little over $10 a few years ago. Your Senior Pass does not cover parking.

Yes they have RV parking as we saw it in June of 2015. Did not use it but saw signs as well as RVs parked in it. Enjoy

Yes, BUT and that is a very BIG but, be very careful of the road you take. There are small tunnels on EVERY road but one and there is limited turnaround room at the tunnels, if you pick the wrong road. Have seen more than one person that didn't bother to do their homework and have MILES of traffic backed up, while they tried to turn around.

I hope so we are going next summer. Interested in responses.

Yes, they have parking. We drove ours there many years ago.
