The price was right, but it was essentially a hunting shack with very little else. I would not recommend for solo female travelers. It is about a 20 minute drive outside of Pierre. It's a good deal, but it's essentially a bed and a shower.

Visited this property for fishing in October 2023, we had a great time and everybody was so nice and helpful letting us know some great spots to drop our lines and giving us tackle for success. We plan on going back in 2024 and would definitely recommend this location for anybody wanting to fish! Thank you Outpost Lodge for a great vacation!

The booking said "cabin" and it was a double wide trailer. The counter in the kitchen snagged and ripped my coat and cut my son's hand. It smelled. The fridge was dirty and so was the stove top. One of the toilets didn't flush. And I'm not sure the doors actually locked. Also there was just a spare door laying around. My kids were scared to stay there over night so we ended up leaving and booking at a better place. The Outpost refused to refund any of my money back. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
