Mount Rushmore has no admission fees, but it does have parking fees, and National Park passes do not count for parking fees. I found Mount Rushmore to be a pretty major let down. We paid no fees for riding through the Black Hills. Beautiful. Iron Mountain Road was also free, and it had the best views of Mount Rushmore. We did pay a fee for Needles Highway, also in the Black Hills. I felt it was rather expensive, though the pass was good for a week. Be warned, though. The pass they affix to your front windshield only comes off with something like GooGone. I found that the most disappointing part of our journey,.The glue. Not the highway. The highway was cool.

Make sure the pass covers all parks as it doesn't mount rushmore or crazy horse monument.

I was there mid July and didn’t see any!!!! Lots of other wildlife though.... and over $6K in hail damage to my car. Lol.

Yes. Restrooms are available. We went in July. I tell you what.....the restrooms were VERY clean! Always smelled like they had just been cleaned!!! Very impressed

Take the main hi way from RapidCity east to Wall the loop stars there!!!

Try Grizzly Creek Campground on Highway 16A south of Keystone. It is a Forest Service, concessionaire operated area with vault toilets and water hydrants. It is within 2 miles of Keystone and 1 miles of Mount Rushmore and 8 miles of Crazy Horse. It is a quiet place. The highway is very scenic with easy access to Custer State Park.

From Interstate 90 @ Rapid City, take exit 57 southbound for about two miles. Turn left on St. Josephs Street, go three blocks and turn right onto Mt.Rushmore Rd./ Rt. 16. Go about 17 miles and take Rt. 16A, 16A will bring you right into Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills Park. You'll see signs for Custer and the Chief Crazy Horse monument.
