Mt. Rushmore
We are planning a trip to Mt. Rushmore this summer and would like a recommendation for a park to stay. We would like to stay at one park and travel around the area for about a week. 38' fifth wheel on...

What would be other things to see or do besides Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse for that area with 10 available days from end of June to after July 4
the Mammoth Dig site is pretty cool
otherwise we usually take several days and explore Badlands National Park. very peaceful.
Another thing to consider, if you do go out to the Badlands NP...stop by Wall Drug! It's one of those locations, like the 4 Corners Monument, that many say is a rip off. However, I found it very entertaining, and certainly different. Just one more thing to cross off a bucket list. And I got a great Black Hills Gold ring at one of the jewelry vendors there.
Agreed, Wall Drug is SUCH a tourist trap, but a lot of fun!! Badlands was very cool!!
We don't much care for the commercial RV parks that stack 'em in like sardines, so we stayed at Legion Lake Campground in Custer SP, but not sure the status after the big fire there in Dec. It was a beautiful park with lots of room between sites, and very convenient to everything in the area.
Needles Hwy is a must drive in your toad/TV.
We were there last August. Beautiful part of the country!!
