We saw this Raton Pass Camp and Cafe when we came through headed north but thought it might be too tight. When we were looking for places on the return trip, the park website convinced me that we could make it work. We were sure glad we did.

Location:    
Sioux Falls KOA
Sioux Falls, SD

ElizaBeth was great about wanting me to continue to teach APPA Supervisor’s Toolkit, as was CAPPA, and we had planned for one at South Dakota State University since January. We wanted a really good park since she would be by herself during the day, and we had to go to Sioux Falls – but it was worth it. I drove to Brookings each day.

July 2, 2019 to July 6, 2019

Mileage:    
3,426

Location:    
Rapid City RV Park
Rapid City, SD

Five states slept in now! Because this stop was over the 4th of July, we made these reservations so far in advance that somehow I had it in my mind that we were staying at KOA. We went there, and they didn’t have a reservation for us, so I looked it up. OOOPS! Wrong park. Like always, it worked out for the best, Rapid City RV Park was on top of the ridge overlooking the city and afforded a great view of the city and area.
