I was looking for an inexpensive alternative to camping or a cheap motel - the ‘yurts’ at Whitetail Creek were perfect. Comfortable double bed and plenty space inside, BBQ to cook my own dinner, and a large shared fire pit for evenings. Everything I needed, and run by friendly and competent people! Be aware that if it gets cold you’ll want all the blankets (ask for more if you need), and there is no electricity in the tent, but several electric lanterns for light. And it’s a couple hundred feet to the bath/shower house, but well lit so no worries at night. They also have cabins, for those that prefer four walls (the yurts are round).

There are a lot of personal touches that show you management cares. Just look at the landscaping. These little details matter. A+ camping cabin experience.

I stayed in a yurt with queen bed. It was very clean, as was the shower/bath building. If I had any complaints they would be toilet stall is too small, and I am a small guy. Also road is noisy until 9 or so. Manager/(owner?) was very knowledgeable and friendly.

First time in a yurt

The people running it were so friendly and helpful. The yurt we stayed in was great and had an extremely comfortable bed. The scenery was great with a nice flowing creek through the property. We did not use the fire pit but there are plenty of fire pits around for evening fires. Can’t wait to come back again for our next SD trip.
