Secluded Glamping Retreat in the Black Hills

“Interesting- never glamped and this counts as "been there- done that"”

The yurt was lovely—clean, spacious, well equipped with conveniences, and the AC was a nice surprise; we used it to reduce humidity but not for sleeping. The site itself was open, clean, and nicely primitive. The deck was nice, and the lighting let us play chess at night. The bed was super comfy. The lot was not “secluded”; we were in the main arrival area and would have preferred to be further back past this area. Also, fires were not permitted statewide, but that was not the site’s fault. It would have been great to enjoy a fire at night. The worst was the porta‑potty that served the yurts, located right next to our yurt; it was filthy and smelled terrible. One night we kept catching the whiff when breezy. I never used it—I took a hike to the bathroom/shower facility when nature called. There was also a cat that kept coming into our yurt. While I didn’t mind him terribly, my husband hated that he would not stay out and one night jumped up on him on the bed. Securing the fabric more tightly to the base could solve this—plenty of places for Mr. Cat to get in!

The bed and sheets are so comfy. I could live here forever. I wish there was a toilet and shower inside but what fun would that be 🤣

“Schönes Camping aber wirklich ohne Luxus.”

Wonderful in nature with a fire pit. The toilet and shower facilities were very sparse. The heating didn’t really work.

“Awesome place for myself, husband and dog”

I had an amazing experience—everything was perfect, no complaints at all.

“Glamping at its finest. Overall, very well done!”

The tent itself was incredible, tastefully finished with white curtains, a large rug, and cozy chairs that made it feel luxurious. The AC/heater worked wonderfully, and the bed and linens were super comfortable. Towels were supplied, and the kitchen area included a fridge/freezer, toaster, air‑fryer, basic dishes, a coffee maker with filters and ground coffee, and cast‑iron pans. Outside the tent, a firepit and outdoor chairs let you grill over the fire. I rate the tent, deck, and firepit 10/10. The camp host, David, and his wife were friendly and eager to help. However, the description claimed an “attached private bathroom,” which wasn’t actually attached to our tent—our bathroom with a shower and two additional port‑a‑potties was a two‑minute walk away, which was acceptable but not great. The light in the bathroom didn’t work until David replaced it after the first night, the toilet often didn’t flush unless you removed the back and filled the tank with shower water, and the floors were frequently dirty. The owner, Matt, has a dream of a family campground, and this place is good, so I expect improvements soon. In the meantime, I’d suggest removing the “attached private bathroom” from the description, cleaning the bathroom early in the morning and a few times during the day.
