The welcoming presence of animals like Fred the dog and Bob the cat adds a charming touch to the stay. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean bathhouse, though a few found finding the location a bit tricky. The helpful host, Crystal, ensures that campers feel at home, with amenities like a camp store and an intriguing old schoolhouse to explore.

This was a perfect rest stop for me as I traveled through the state. The cabin had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Crystal is an excellent host. I would stay there again next time I travel through the area.

This is a very special place. My friend and I had a beautiful night tent-camping next to the old schoolhouse, which is its own little museum. The bathrooms were extremely nice and the farm dog (Fred) and cat (Bob) were sweet and cuddly. The horses, of courses, were lovely to be around, too. :)

We had such a special night here! Amazing sunset with visits from the sweetest dog in South Dakota. The bathrooms were really nice and clean. One of my favorite hip camps I’ve ever stayed at
