Stay at DTL for: The DTL team members The views of Devils Tower... the only places to sleep with a view of the Tower are the KOA campsite and Devils Tower Lodge The climbing Meeting fellow guests, and the communal meals The quiet of the nature The clear skies and stars at night If we could award six stars we would WOW!! - - - We recommend you also plan to climb... you CAN do it... all four of us - Mom, Dad, two kids, climbed and you can climb, too! You'll be safely roped in with a great climbing team. - - - We discovered Devils Tower Lodge (DTL) in 2017; we planned a visit to Devils Tower as part of an "out west" vacation and we were intrigued by the chance to see Devils Tower / Bear Lodge, from the room; then-owner Frank invited us to also climb with them, and we did not expect we would climb, but we said "Yes" and then when we got there we did climb - all four of us, and we had a phenomenal time... the whole trip was great and Devils Tower Lodge was the favorite highlight of that great trip. This year, in 2025, we had a chance for an extended weekend trip and we quickly confirmed that we'd go... Wyoming, especially Devils Tower Lodge, is a favorite place that excites us and also provides quiet and tranquility. In 2017 we climbed 120 feet up, while safely roped in; this trip I just hoped to get at least a little higher this time, and with Curtis we did make it higher, about 150 feet up... We climbed at the same spot on the Tower - they can point it to you so you can see it from the Lodge, and you can see the Lodge from where we climb. We enjoyed the "beginner" climb; if you're more experienced you can likely pick other locations on the Tower to climb. We climbed the Everlasting and Broken Tree routes 4-5 times. Curtis was a great guide!! Our daughter also climbed separately with DTL members (incl. Carlos), and they made it all the way the top... we were so proud that she set a goal and achieved it! A tornado hit the tower in 2024; the tornado damage was evident; it looked like the tornado hit the tower straight on, as trees were felled on both sides; we later saw much more damage as we drove toward Gillette. Breakfast and Dinner... great food, lovingly prepared by Hannah and Glen... plenty to fill you up... The rooms - each is uniquely decorated and nice and quiet, with great views. Stargazing... skies so dark; airplane flights do happen, but they are infrequent; you will likely see several satellites - smaller lights moving much more quickly than planes... for the first 90 min or so after sunset. Sunsets are later, and longer/slower than back home in STL. Peaceful... so quiet and peaceful there... you don't miss any noise; you are relaxed. The views of Devils Tower / Bear Lodge are wonderful, and the owners - Rachel and Gabe - a wonderful couple, now parents, are welcoming and giving. Thank you, Curtis, Carlos, Hannah & Glen, and Rachel and Gabe! - - - Original Review - 2017, abbreviated - - - AWESOME! Go. Stay. Experience. You'll be soooooo glad you did!We had a 15 day vacation to 8 places in Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Utah and Colorado, and it was all amazing... this was out best-ever family trip for many reasons... and climbing Devils Tower with Gabe and Julius was THE BEST part of our amazing trip.If we could award six stars we would!... We reserved the cabin with two bedrooms... a full bed in each room and two futons in the large open room... amazing view of Devils Tower from the front door, from the nice and large patio deck, and from the panoramic window in the bathroom. ... The climbing was one of the highlights of our trip. They have a training room next to the main house where they fit you for shoes and the climbing harnesses, and where you learn that climbing is "not a series of pull-ups, which is often what they show in the movies," but is mostly legs pushing you upward, and where you put that into practice on a short rock wall. ... We climbed three routes from where we were, all starting right there at the same place, just a few feet left or right of the other. I truly thought we'd be happy if we climbed about 20 feet high, and lasted a full hour. As it was, all four of us climbed up the 100-foot route and the 115-foot route, and we were there for the entire six-hours that Gabe and Julius planned. ... Since coming home, we have been to our local pool, which has a 12-foot rock wall. This wall frustrates us because it requires so much upper body strength, and it is significantly more difficult that's climbing Devils Tower. Seriously... the rock wall at our pool takes more effort to climb than it did to climb Devils Tower.Thank you Frank, and the entire team at Devils Tower Lodge! ----- ----- -----

We also chose the dinner option, which I also recommend because there are few places nearby to eat. The dining area also has a great view of the tower. The communal dining allows you to interact with the other guests and the hosts! The dinner was homemade and delicious! I want to keep this place a secret because they don't have many rooms, but if you're planning on a trip to Devil's Tower... this THE PLACE to stay!

We really liked this campground as it has a perfect view of Devil's Tower. My only concern was that…read morethey do not take reservations and we arrived after 5pm. Thankfully, they allowed our family of 4 (in a truck camper) to use one of the 3 remaining group sites. The remaining 2 group sites filled in within 30 minutes of us arriving! I would highly recommend getting there earlier in the day to ensure a spot. There is also a KOA at the park entrance, so if you're scared of not having reservations, consider the KOA. Though definitely not as pretty of a site. The campground itself was very pretty, clean, and again - the amazing view of the tower! They do not sell firewood, so you can buy it at the KOA at the park entrance. I recommend!
