And, they have several different tours to fit almost any budget. I took the Badland Adventures tour #4, which consisted of about a 17 minute flight over the Badlands (an awesome view). It was my 3rd ride in a chopper. Solo passengers need to be aware that there is a $45 fuel surcharge added to the bill. But, in my opinion, it's well worth it. Also, heavyset individuals need to be aware that they may not be able to go in a group, due the weight limitations for the helicopter. And, it's possible that you may be turned down. So, I suggest calling first. I have pictures, and some video. But they were taken with my other cell phone. So, I have to get them transferred before I can post them.

This hotel is very convenient to Mount Rushmore in Keystone. We booked this hotel for two nights…read morewhile visiting the area based on the price which was pretty inexpensive. Parking is free and I could see George Washington on Mt Rushmore from my window, which was cool. The hotel is dated, clean enough, and service was fine. Breakfast is what you expect from usual hotel fare, but it was good and hot. The dining area is adjacent to the front desk in the lobby and I will say it was packed with people eager to see the monument. If I find myself in the area again, I would stay here because it is convenient, inexpensive, and serviceable. Enjoy!

Location is great, breakfast is decent. The two bedroom room without a living area is WAAAAY small…read more Like people have to sit on the bed for you to walk around the bed kinda small, there is about 6 inches from bed to wall and then a 12" gap between the two beds. Beds were hard ( got about 2-3 hours of sleep total) and our room we found two bugs on our bed. Not bedbugs but some bugs we had never seen before. Ac is very loud which we liked since we normally sleep with fans on. Inside wasn't the cleanest, there was literally blood stains on the wall near the bathroom door. Overall wouldn't stay here again! Even with the veterans discount we paid almost $160 for our room.

We chose this hotel because it was only and 8-minute drive from Mount Rushmore. We were planning to…read morestay for the lighting ceremony and wanted a short drive in the dark. The Roosevelt Inn was clean, quiet, and had updated rooms. We had two rooms: a king room with balcony and a two-queen room. The king room had more space and a larger bathroom with a walk-in shower. The two-queen room was more cramped (not surprising) and had a smaller bathroom with a tub-shower combo. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast, which was included, included cold cereal, oatmeal with several toppings, eggs, sausage patties, and potatoes. There was also a machine that made pancakes. There were also several types of bread to toast. The juice machine had a couple different juices and the regular and decaf coffees were good. A lactose-free/non-dairy milk would have been nice. The hotel also had a swimming pool, a game room, and laundry facilities. It was walking distance to several restaurants including Halley's, a pizza place, Subway, bagel place, coffee, and a wine bar.

This is an awesome campground within an incredible state park…read more We stayed two nights at Sylvan Lake Campground and were really impressed, especially by how clean everything was! I couldn't believe how spotless the bathrooms were every single time I went in, it was perfect. The electric sites are fairly close together, so if you're looking for more privacy, I'd recommend the walk-in sites. The unfortunate thing about the walk-in sites are the more secluded sites (like #16, #17, and #21) require a bit of an uphill trek. It's not a long walk, but it does take a little bit of effort to get everything up there. That said, Site #21 was one of the best campsites I've ever stayed in, it was worth the extra sweat. The only reason I'm giving this place four stars is because the trail to the walk-in sites is very rough. They do provide a wheelbarrow to help carry your stuff, but the terrain is so rocky that using it seemed like more trouble compared to just walking your stuff up. Overall we enjoyed our stay and everyone was so quiet, it really felt like it was just you in nature.

Watch out though - they are fixing up some of the trails, so some things might be closed or detoured, and the detour can be long!
