Prairie Dog Perch Tiny Home

Prairie Dog Perch Tiny Home

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect. Less than 10 minutes from the entrance to Badlands National Park. Everything seemed new and fresh at the house. I had never stayed in a tiny house before but my daughter and I were very comfortable. It's not a beautiful location but a perfect place to rest after a day at the park. Highly recommend! One thing to note: you might want to bring food with you. Very few options for restaurants and groceries. There's a nice grill you can use at the house along with a small but workable kitchen."

"Badlands Interior is very remote, that being said there was a wall AC unit that worked well and TV you could watch. Beds, floors and bathroom were clean however paint was peeling from the bathroom trim and the bathroom vanity and sink were only adequate. I’m 5-3 and had to lean down to the countertop and sink. The room was small but the coffee maker and fridge worked great."

Bighorn Bend Tiny Home

Bighorn Bend Tiny Home

10/10 Excellent
"This was a fantastic vacation setting for a family of three adults who enjoy camping. We found the “tiny home” use of a tiny space to be ingenious and it provided many practical advantages over actual camping (refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer, etc.) It definitely added to our sense of adventure in the Badlands! A great choice for people who are comfortable climbing ladders."

Buffalo Drift Tiny Home

10/10 Excellent
"My sister and I recently spent 7 nights in the Buffalo Drift tiny home (camper) and we loved it! The camper was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It's located only a couple miles from the entrance to Badlands National Park. We got to do so many things: explored and hiked through the Badlands, went to Mount Rushmore, the Chief Crazy Horse Monument, and the city of Deadwood and Mt. Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried. We even drove over to Wyoming to view and hike around the Devil's Tower Monument. We also visited Wall Drug Store in Wall, SD and explored a lot of the local Native American and Old West history. The list goes on but I think one of the best things was catching the sunset from different spots within the Badlands each night. So beautiful! There were so many things to do within a 3 hour drive of this location. The town of Interior is very small and quiet. There's a bar/restaurant, Wagon Wheel Bar, within walking distance of the camper that serves great burgers. The owners, Thomas and Bob were very nice and had great communication with us. I highly recommend this place and would totally stay again!"
