Originally settled by immigrants homesteading westward, Dakota Prairie Lodge now conducts hunting and fishing adventures and dabbles in agriculture. Far from population centers, the peacefulness of this rural retreat is a delight.
Beautiful sweeping pasture with lots of space to pitch your tent. Big beautiful sky. Expanse of low rolling grasslands. Easy in and out. Pleasant host.
We loved our stay! A beautiful lodge with lots of amenities and great hospitality from the staff.
DO NOT put the address for the lodge into Google Maps as it will take you to the middle of a corn field.
My family was looking forward to staying here after a 10 hour drive on a long road trip west. I booked it in April for an August stay and other than the confirmation email I didn’t hear back from the host, which normally wouldn’t be a problem. I reached out twice in the 48 hours before our stay to let her know when we’d be arriving and also asked a question about firewood but never heard back. When we arrived the place was booked with a family reunion. They were pretty surprised to hear that we were there with a tent wanting to camp. Contrary to the info in the description, there was no information or map about where to pitch a tent and it wasn’t obvious what was the host’s property. The family reunion folks helped us look for info and I called the phone number but no one answered. We were there for about 40 minutes looking around, trying to figure out what to do. The communal bathrooms and fire pit weren’t an option given that this other group was under the impression they had the place to themselves so all we could do was leave. We ended up at a hotel and the host denied us a refund.
Overall, it was fine. I have some mixed feelings because the directions were unclear as to where to camp. We followed the instructions in the app to the foyer, but there was no camp map there. When we texted the host to ask where to stay, she didn’t text us back for three hours (at 1030 pm), when we had already set up camp and were asleep. The bathroom was clean and the area was nice, it was just a little unclear as to where we’re supposed to be.
Beautiful view! Nice spot to set up camp for a night. Confusing when we first arrived- instructions said to go right into the lodge but the main door was locked, found a side door to enter thru the kitchen, had to find someone to tell us where to go
