We were the first people in our room in the summer of 2008 (Creekside had just opened) so it was spotless. It has an upscale lodge design, plump pillows, spacious feel. Quiet, got an excellent night's sleep. I'd love to come back to the park-- there's a lot to do, even for finicky teenagers, within driving distance. Allow a good... more

Great natural setting for my husband and I. We saw lots of wildlife from our room. Great porch to set on also. We ate here and the food was good but they need to work on their wait staff. This park seems like a National Park instead of a State Park. They have a nice loop drive where you will... more

The AAA book says the restaurant is open 7AM-9PM. But what we didn't know was that they close at 3PM for one hour or so before dinner. We stopped in for a late lunch at around 2:15PM and decided on the buffet because at first glance it looked OK. But the "hot" dishes were all barely warm, not hot. No... more

we did not stay at the lodge-- simply ate in the diningroom while wandering the park. Really good breakfast and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend grabbing something to eat here. more

Okay, so it's a little pricey for the size of the room. We stayed in one of the small cabins, and we were not disappointed. You have a store within walking distance and easy access to the lodge's restaurant, which served a darn good breakfast buffet. The best part, however, is the location. When we woke up in the morning,... more

My husband and I did not stay at the lodge however on our on way through the park last night decided to stop in for dinner. It was AWESOME. We had two appetizers, salads and maincourse with tax, tip and everything we came in just under $100. He had a trio shih kabob with elk, beef, and buffalo. He said... more

We stayed here as part of our road trip from Badlands to Grand Teton, and we actually like this state park better than any of the national parks. It was priced right, unique rooms, great service. We had three meals in the restaurant and we were never disappointed. And it wasn't overpriced like many parks. (Of course... we are from... more

We stopped in to have lunch. We arrived just after a tour bus and the hostess thought at first that we were part of their group and kept trying to seat us with that group. I thought they would offer more choice for lunch. I did have a good although small salad. Luckily we had tried the bison short ribs... more

Creekside at State Lodge is probably one of the best hotels in South Dakota. Yummy, comfortable beds, new and clean. This is a centeraly located hotel near a small store, laundry facilities and wonderful theater. The park is a must see and three days are easily filled with fishing, wildlife viewing(many buffalo, wild burros), theater and the parks daily free... more
