Our stay was pleasant, however, the nights were very cold, because the only heat comes from a wood fire stove. The bed was made, but the remains from the dinner and dishes were not removed from the room. Overall a unique experience, but more rustic than we expected.

My stay was wonderful. My tent was great, very comfortable and the views from the deck were perfect for morning coffee and afternoon relaxing. It was cold and rainy one day so I used the wood burning stove which made it extra cozy! I ate my breakfasts and dinners at the on site restaurant. The food was delicious. Nice wine selection too. And fresh coffee starting very early in the morning and throughout the day is great. Finally you can see Mount Rushmore from the communal deck so you almost don’t need to go if you want to avoid the crowds and Just relax at this beautiful quiet location.

I never leave a bad review but it was extremely not what i thought. 2 fans for 3 people in 97 degree weather. Charges on my credit card i never spent. Not glamorous camping at all. No food allowed in tent… no electricity and crappy coffee.

Our first impressions weren’t great-negative initial staff interaction. There were other minor issues along the way as well. The food was very good and as a rule the staff were great. I was able to provide feedback to the general manager directly and she handled the our concerns promptly and to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to try them again.

This is “glamping” at its best. Thoughtful and unique design elements. Beautiful vistas everywhere. Privacy and yet community accessibility in the same place - footsteps away. The view of Mount Rushmore was a bonus feature. The food was so much better than expected. I would highly recommend.

Not worth the price

Overall, I don’t think the place/amenities are worth it. I got a suite since I was on a long road trip and wanted to shower as well. The on-site dining is fantastic. If you have not gone camping before and you want to start off with “glamping” this might be a suitable option. My soap dispenser was broken and one of the fans didn’t work. I personally don’t think it’s worth the price. I was supposed to get a bandana for my dog which I never received either. The room was also very dirty. Items left over clearly from previous guests. Very disappointing.
