We arrived and were greeted by a very nice woman who helped us decide where to eat and find anything we needed. There is a small store where you could get some snacks and groceries if you were in a camper. We pulled right up to our room and it was clean and comfortable. The pool was not working but honestly the views were awesome.

Our stay at this property was good. The check-in and staff were excellent and smiling. The accommodations were just as described and per picture. Considering the location, we were satisfied with our stay. Of course the rooms could use some renovations, but the price would be accordingly. Overall, we would come back.

There is nothing fancy or extravagant about our stay here. The town has a population of about 94 (more if you count the campers that stay here. The surrounding Badlands made the stay here worth it. My only issue was that I couldn't get a single picture that could capture what I was looking at.

Yes, this place is on the older side but it’s exactly what you might expect from a hotel/campground. It’s quiet, clean and literally just outside of the park entrance. I would definitely stay here again. (Pool is not in service and we could not get tv to work, but we were here for Badlands anyway.)

I would recommend staying here to anyone. The checkin was easy, people were friendly. The little store and office are a bit run down and dated but room was nice sized and very clean. It appeared to have been recently remodeled and the bathroom was spacious for the size of room. I was disappointed the pool was not in working order, Overall I highly recommend!!!!
