After site seeing during the day it was great to come back here and visit their tap room for local beers, wine & food if we were still hungry and then sit by the nightly fire. We used the full hookups with our class B travel van while our friends came in thief 40' massive RV's. The restrooms and showers at Black Elk Resort are beautiful,very clean and much larger than the shower in our Van so we used them nightly! They also have a laundry room. Bring your quarters. They also have many cute cabins although we did not have a need for them on this trip. We will be staying here again on our next trip to South Dakota and Custer State Park!

Mt Rushmore, Custer state Park, Crazy Horse etc. There is a beautiful covered patio area with BBQ's you can use & a nightly camp fire. Also, a bar, which we didn't frequent. Reality, we were disappointed from the moment we pulled in. The grass was NOT green like the pictures. I realize it was end of season, but, it was 90°! Why not water the lawn? We stayed in the front of the park, right next to the main road. Loud!! Not happy. The website pictures certainly don't show that! Our sights were so slanted, we had to use all of our blocks to jack up our trailer so we were level. Not happy. The water was BROWN! We had to use our water filter & run the water for quite awhile before it was semi clear. Needless to say, we bought bottled water for cooking & drinking. The water was ok for a few days, then almost zero water pressure for showers. By the last day, the water turned disgustingly brown again. Our water filter had turned from clear white to dark brown. Wish I could post a picture of it. We would never stay there again, due to these issues. Just want people to be aware, websites are not what they appear to be.

I had no idea that this was a "renovated" "junk motel" until I read the other review after I checked in. There is for 100% sure mold infestation in the laundry room. My son and I are susceptible to mold poisoning and both of us got headaches after spending only a couple minutes in there. Thank God we are only here for a night. My wife booked this place, but she said there were no other options in town on short notice. My wife said the manager or person she dealt with was super nice. All in all, I would never stay here again and don't recommend it to anyone unless this is all you can afford.

The room where you enter had a kitchen and a living room with a pull-out. Then there was door which led to the bedroom with the bathroom off of it as well as a large closet. We loved that the refrigerator was full-sized, and the freezer worked well and included ice-cube trays. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had the usual amenities. The air-conditioning unit is in the kitchen, and we found the bedroom was warm compared to the living room. However, they had a large fan in the closet, so we just put that in the door between the living room and the bedroom and it cooled the bedroom perfectly. Check-in and check-out were easy. The price was right. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

STAY AWAY - ZERO STARS…read more Shannon Brinker is a known slumlord, which my husband and I learned the hard way. On day one, she blocked my phone number when I informed her that the heat was not working (during -20°F temperatures) and that it needed to be fixed, not just covered up with space heaters. Space heaters are a fire risk and cannot be left unattended (this includes when you are asleep). When she did this, we sent her a letter of demand and withheld funds when she still refused to fix the heat. With the fact that it was not only dangerous to our health, but also against our rights as tenants and her legal obligations as the landlord, we moved out and into a hotel. When we got an HVAC contractor out to inspect the mini-split heaters, not only did he tell us that they were out of refrigerant, indicating a leak in the system, but that even if they didn't have that issue, together the 2 mini-splits put out a total of 18,000 BTUs, and for the size of this apartment, it needed a minimum of 50,000 BTUs for the health and safety of any tenants. We mailed copies of this report, the lease with the clauses she violated highlighted, all of the evidence of these violations, and a letter of nullification to her and to her lawyer. Unfortunately for both of them, this showed us that neither check their P.O. boxes or have forwarding addresses, as both envelopes were returned to us.
