We stayed last week, and the place was awesome! Clean facilities, big, clean, private shower/restroom accommodation, laundry, and a place to get some goodies and fuel up before you head out. Extra Kudos to Dani, you know what you did, thank you so much for your help! We will definitely be back the next time we are in the black hills. I give this place 10 Stars, but the chart only gives you 5. Keep up the good work! From Millstadt I.

We rented to ATVs the night before we intended to use them. Showed up in the morning and within 15 minutes we were in the road. We put in nearly 100 miles and everything worked as it should and had no issues. Had the have the machine back by 5:30 and they said 5:45 was fine. They also require the tank to be full upon return which even after driving 100 miles it was only $25 to fill it. Dropped it off, put keys in the Dropbox and we were good to go! Recommend doing all the waivers and agreements before showing up online and you’ll be in and out right away when you show up to get your rentals.
