First, shout out to Grace who helped us with our stuff the morning of check-out! We couldn’t find anyone in the lobby tent, and no one was responding to our texts the morning of check out. Grace happened to drive by with a cart and stopped to help us, including carrying some of our bags to the cart. Thanks Grace! This place looks lovely and allowed us to experience the fun of camping without the difficulty. We enjoyed the crafting offered on Tuesday night, as well as the s’mores and board games. There is a short hiking trail nearby, and a deck with a good view of Mount Rushmore attached to the lobby tent. At check in, we were shown where to park and then someone with a golf cart helped bring our bags to the tent. The food and drinks were good, but expensive (except for the tea/coffee/hot chocolate, which is included). The tent itself was lovely. We used the stove (with some help from the staff) but we let the fire go out fairly quickly as it got pretty warm. We had a private toilet and shower, but be warned that there is no real door to either - just a half wall! For a tent, the shower had great water pressure and temperature. It is expensive! My friend and I were a little disappointed when we could only book a tent with one king bed, as no tents were offered that contained two queens / fulls / even twins. At the price we paid, I was also a little disappointed that check out felt so strange, no one around to help or clarify what we needed to do to officially check out.

We liked the food and drink options available. The tent was terrible for sleeping- the bed was creaky and noisy, the wind was whipping the sides of the tent against the bed making it impossible to sleep.
