YMMV - close to eastern side of Badlands NP.

Tiny window AC that could barely keep up with heat from outside and was noisy. Bathroom shower still had hair in drain from prior guest. Convenient spot to explore eastern side of Badlands NP was redeeming quality.

Fun little resort with the nicest people!

Clean and quiet resort right outside of Badlands National Park! The room was very spacious and looked like it had some recent updates. The lady at the front desk was nice and had a great sense of humor. The cleaning staff were very nice and funny too! There was a roll-away bed in the room for us so we didn’t have to even ask for one, which we really appreciated. The grounds were very well taken care of. It had some tent sites, RV spaces, a few hotel rooms on the main building and another building with more rooms. The hiking trail was perfect for a walk through the prairie after dinner. We had some pancakes and biscuits and gravy for breakfast. The pancakes were very light and fluffy. I believe oatmeal was on the menu also. There was a little convenience store in the main building with some snacks and groceries too so we had plenty of options. It would be great to have scrambled eggs on the menu in the future but they did have sausage links for some protein. Breakfast wasn’t included but it was reasonable. It looked like there was a nice little dog park too, but we didn’t bring our pets so we didn’t use it. The only thing we were disappointed in was the pool being closed due to some damage. We just stayed in and watched a movie but it would have been perfect to have a swim in the heat. We will definitely be staying here again the future!

Our room was updated compared to the photos currently shown on Expedia— all white linen, vinyl flooring. It was a nice surprise. The bed was comfy and room was clean. Some peeling paint in the bathroom, but that was minor and didn’t affect us in anyway. Wish the rooms had microwaves. I should have read more and realized they didn’t. They did, however, have a coffee maker and mini fridge. Check in and out were seamless and we were given a complimentary bag of ice. Would definitely stay again.

It was a very basic day. They advertise for the Poole, which was not working and when I asked her about it, they said that amenities were not guaranteed. The Front Desk seem not to know what they were doing when I ask questions. You would only stay here if you needed to be near the park
