I can't put into words how great this campground is. Even our dogs were sad to leave. The campsite where we parked our 25' hybrid camper for 5 days overlooked a meadow. The bath houses were the cleanest we had ever seen. They welcomed our dogs and were willing to play 20 questions with us about the area. If you... More

My family and I spent six nights in a camping cabin at the Roost Resort in August. The cabin was a one room log cabin with refrigerator, tv, two double beds, table and chairs. Very basic but comfortable and clean. We also had a nice deck with table and chairs overlooking a beautiful meadow. Each morning, we would see at... More

We were in the small one bed cabin, which is "cozy" in size. The inside looked newly renovated and quite attractive, while the outside was showing a bit of wear and tear. The kitchenette area had a good sized fridge, 2 gas burners, microwave and a reasonable set of cookware for 2 people. We made all our meals no trouble.... More

Loved our 3 nights at The Roost! Our two bed cabin was comfortable, older and needing a few minor fix-ups, but nothing major. Very clean and we didn't cook but everything we'd need to do so was there. Our only negative was the plasticy mattress pad that was old and stiff - formed ridges overnight and holds body heat. We...

My husband and I stayed here September 4th through the 9th. The campground is beautiful and overlooks a meadow. We had a full hook-up for our camper. Our 2 dogs were welcomed and the campers behind us were very neighborly during out stay. The bath house was the cleanest I have ever seen and energy efficient to boot.

This was our third stay at The Roost. We have had family reunions here, but this time we rented a cabin to be next to Custer State Park. The cabin was comfortable and functional. Our kitchenette allowed us to fix breakfast. The proximity to Sylvan Lake is wonderful and we had morning walks on the Mikkelson trail which is just... More

Loved our cabin, we'll be back here for sure. It's a fantastic base to check out Custer, Badlands, and Rushmore. The other towns in the area are WAY too touristy. Extremely affordable, FANTASTIC proprietors, comfortable, accommodating, what more can I say. Deer visit the property nightly, you can have a fire right outside your door, and a picnic bench for...

We stayed here in order to explore Custer State Park, the caves, and Mt. Rushmore. It couldn't have been more convenient! The cabin was adorable and had all the amenities we could have needed. We shopped at the grocery store for breakfast and lunch items and the refrigerator/freezer had ample room. The owners were friendly and helpful and even though... More

We made last minute reservations for July 18th-20th. We were very pleased. Very clean and comfortable. Nice kitchenette and full bathroom. We stayed in cabin #7 which had a picnic table and two chairs out front with a charcoal grill, which we used twice. Nice big pine trees and grassy hill in front, which a deer visited in the evening.... More

We stayed here Memorial Day weekend, May 28 - 31. The five stars are not because it is a five star resort, but because we thought it was so great for the extremely affordable price and the thoughtful attention to detail. When we checked in the owners were very helpful and made suggestions of things to do and told us... More
