The wagon had everything you needed for a comfortable camping experience. I could have used a step to help me get in the bed but once there, we slept like a log. The bed was very comfortable. The camp stove was all we needed to knock the chill out of the room. ##### Terri Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nora G. Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very unusual 'glamping experience" Met the lowner briefly but was given a tour & the background of the camp by the host who was very welcoming. We stayed in a wagon but they also have cool big tents with kitchens and RVs you can rent. The shared bathroom could have been a little cleaner but was adequate. The location was very secluded & quiet, not one of those gravel RV parks right off the highway. Fun experience. Very conveniently located near Rushmore & the Badlands. ##### Nora G.
