I am staying here through the winter in one of their cottages, and it has been amazing to say the least. Beds are comfortable, nicely decorated, clean room, fireplace w/ electric insert makes it really nice. Very affordable as well. Customer service is over the top good

My family and I came as complete strangers, and we left feeling like a part of their family! All of the staff were super friendly and it was a very comfortable, convenient stay. Great location near many of the spots we wanted to see. Very reasonable pricing. They even hosted a BBQ for everyone who was staying there!

We really enjoyed our camping visit this weekend at The Covered Wagon Resort. It is close to a lot of Cool places to visit. The staff is very friendly. They are very pet friendly too! The next time we come visit my husband and I are going to try out their cabins.

Nice quiet campground just west of Rapid City. We are here for a week and have enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion would be to do some work on leveling the RV sites but we were able to cope with leveling blocks. Friendly helpful staff.
