    Vicious wildlife at the lodge
    Adrienne G.

    For being the only lodge in Badlands National Park, Cedar Pass Lodge treated us A-OK You want to book this place WAY ahead of time! I booked for Memorial Day Weekend, on the very DAY rezzies opened & all the renovated cabins had already been taken.....but seems like we wouldn't have been able to enjoy them anyway since we had requested adjoining rooms & the new cabins don't come w/ that configuration. You're either all sharing 1 room or getting 2 cabins ( Maybe future renovated cabins will have adjoining? ) So we were placed in their "old" cabins & I can vouch they need some updating! Rooms had A/C, the beds were decent & the water pressure was nice & stayed hot ... but there was no fridge, microwave or coffeemaker like they had in the renovated cabins & when you're staying the whole weekend & there's only ONE restaurant in the whole park w/ the next closest being a 45 min drive, you kind of want a fridge Which brings me to another word to the wise.....if you want to create your own makeshift fridge, put your stuff in the bathroom & close the doors - our beer stayed cold the whole time we were there! Also the walls are SUPER thin & the screen doors totally slam shut on each room & it shake the whole building.....our neighbors must have been delighted at the slamming payback they gave us for being so noisy the night before but we didn't mean to be noisy - it's the walls that were too thin! But you're in camping-mode right & we just looked at it like we were in a 5-Star Campsite & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay PLUS.....they had the cutest bunnies running all around & who wouldn't love that?!

    This is a very nice place the main lodge is very quiet and everyone is nice. The cabin was beautiful and very very clean. The staff are very good at their job. It is vary short walk to the visitors center. The view is amazing. What an experience.

    Maybe it's because it's relatively new. Maybe it's because it's well connected (TV, Wi-Fi, etc.). Maybe it's because it's clean. Or maybe it's because the accommodations are spacious. The rooms/cabins may lack historical charm, but damn they were awesome. All I kept saying was, "wow." Some are single cabins and some are duplex style. I was in a duplex cabin and barely heard the people next door to me. Having a back porch was awesome at the end of the day and admittedly could be a little awkward sharing it with other people, but I didn't find it to be a problem and if anything it gives you an opportunity to share your stories with other travelers. If you've stayed at other lodgings within our national parks you know the amenities vary greatly. Some places have very little, i.e. no TV's and no Wi-Fi and that can be tough in this day and age. Even though there's not much around, you are able to stay connected at Cedar Pass Lodge and that's nice. The concessionaire really hit it out of the park with these cabins and the price was more than reasonable. If you can, do your best to stay in the park, you won't regret it!

    We had cabin 123, a stand-alone, not a duplex. We booked about 3 months ahead of time. The cabin is beautiful, the beds and pillows are very comfortable and the sheets and towels are soft. We had 2 minor complaints: (1) the cabin's windows slide up and down and are extremely difficult to open or to keep open--we used our camera's battery charger underneath as a wedge to keep the window up, and (2) the Badlands have high winds and when you open the screen door, it catches the wind and nearly throws you off the front porch. That said, we would definitely stay here again. We loved it, and we also loved the little rabbit that lives out back under the cabin.

    This is an affordable, convenient, and pleasantly rustic place to stay while exploring the Badlands. The individual lodges are small but with full bathrooms and amazing open spaces to picnic, hike, or stargaze. Yes, insects do gather in the summer months, but this is a small price to pay for being IN the Badlands and feeling miles away from the world. A roadtrip pit-stop that will be memorable, vastly better than your average motel. Vastly.

    The good: newly renovated. Priced right. The bad: on a gravel road. Every time a car drives by, dirt flies into cabin. Because the cabins line up in a row there is no privacy. Can't sit on front porch. No place to park car except in front of front door. Front staff extremely disappointing. Disorganized and unfriendly. The food at the restaurant is awful. The cabin was dirty.

    The sunrise, sitting on our back porch of the cabin.... Such lovely views

    Heading from MI, for a month long vacation, for the trip of a lifetime! I always checkout Yelp for their recommendations of restaurants and lodging and have not been disappointed, and the Cedar Pass Lodge was an amazing find!!! We did not have reservations, but on a whim I called the lodge to see if they had had any cancelations, and much to my surprise they did. Words cannot express the beauty of the badlands, and staying right in the heart of it all is more than I could have imagined! The rates are very fair, approx $165 for one night and worth every penny. This will undoubtably be one of the major highlights of our trip.

    Really enjoyed our stay here in late June / early July. Perfect location for exploring the park and the cabins are modern, spacious and clean. I'll definitely be back and this is an easy place for me to recommend to others
