Customer Reviews
Well, I should have read the reviews before booking. We stayed in one of the cabins, and while the cabin was okay, the rest of the environment surrounding it was definitely not. The young lady that checked us in was very nice and quite friendly, but that was the only interaction we had with the staff. The cabins are “rustic”, which was fine, we were looking to simply avoid the hassle of a tent, and it served that purpose. The bathroom facilities are absolutely atrocious. Both toilets in the ladies room were covered in diarrhea, and only one of the toilets in the men’s room would flush. There was no toilet paper or paper towels in either bathroom, and it looked like they hadn’t been serviced since before Sturgis Rally which was two months ago. There was also a pair of hills-have-eyes people
Staff and location wonderful. Toilets and sinks were clean but the rest of the bathroom and showers were gross. Signs for no smoking on the doors but the seasonals apparently don't count. Sites are ok. Some share a covered patio which is great if you're camping with friends but not great if you're not.
We just marked our 20th year for Sturgis. This year we tried some place new and hated it. Happy Holidays Resort in Rapid City. Worst mistake ever. they pack in|. RVS so tight....we could not extend our awning without hitting the permanent residents structure. No room for rug or lawn chairs. Couldn't enjoy our patio because it extended over the road. Our truck was parked partially on the roadway. This was our view. Non-refundable and we still packed up and left early.
Our stay was great 19-21st of July we had space shade the staff was kind and very pleasant to work with! The bathrooms and showers may be a little outdated but hey we’re camping I’m glad it was more than a porta potty like what I would have gotten growing up in the 90s and early 2000s I would stay there again for sure! What a breath of fresh air and the views around were amazing close to lots of area attractions. We wanna give thanks for accommodating our family last minute and for the extra day we added on!
We stayed in the cabins this time. I don't recommend. Too small, not very clean, road noise, and restrooms were closed there (they need to be). The staff are all very wonderful. We brought our camper the the last time and had a great experience.
