Camp Dakota

Overall great experience. We stayed in one of their large yurts. The yurt left a bit to be desired as mattresses were old, the floor was wavy (imagine waves on the ocean) and it needs more outlets. Our site 15 was decently sized as most locations here were. There was one picnic table we had to exchange on our own. It was old and broken when we got there then were told ir would be replaced. Never was so we carried one from another areas to our campsite. They have running water around the entire park. The port a potties are cleaned twice a day week so they’re good 2 of the 3 days they aren’t be cleaned. The last day usually before the clean out is the worst. But they do clean them daily and empty them twice a week.

The propane grill we had wasn’t the greatest they really need to power wash them and replace parts. There was propane but the grills had no starter(lighter provided) and the burners need to be replaced/cleaned.

The covered area for them was nice but I will say the entire yurt moved when someone walked around these severely need to be reinforced or the supports need to be replaced. I saw some not so to code ways of supporting them.

The fireplace inside was used and kept things warm. I do wish there was a way to vent the yurt.

The staff here is awesome. They were always friendly with the kids and adults and either like what they’re doing or are just good people I think a little of both.

The store they have on site has everything you need and lore. I do with their pizza ordering was a little later but they offer that at any time of the day as well as coffee orders for the morning. Just nice touches.

Overall this place is great kids had a blast and so did adults. It’s pricey and I wish it wasn’t so dusty everywhere but it’s very nice out there. Get some more Wi-Fi around the place or offer tvs with a dvd player and rentals for those shorter days of the year when stuff isn’t available and you’re trying to stay dry.

Would be nice if it was closer to water for swimming. Very strict about quite time at 10. Yurts are starting to get a bit run down. And the bees are so bad. Friendly people work there. Paintball is always fun. Ropes course and zip line are much to expensive. Bows need repairs and same with axes. We have been there a few times and always have had fun but even did this last time. But think that was our last time there going. Getting much to expensive and run down. Still recommend but be prepared.

So much fun! Campgrounds are clean, staff are friendly and helpful, lots of activities for all ages and fitness levels. We've been here twice and can't wait to come back! Tent cabins are the way to go! We loved having Zen and Kicks as I our zipline and ropes challenge guides. The disc golf course is not the best and the playground really only has a swing set and a small playhouse but those are minor complaints. I think they usually have sales in April so you should make your summer plans then to save some money. We stayed in cabin 41. It was nice but be aware that it's kind of steep getting to the cabin from where you park your car. We'll be back sooner than later 😊

I was visiting from out of state and had Camp Dakota recommended to me by a friend. I have local family and brought them out there to Zipline & Paintball! We had so much fun! The ref was AWESOME and really kept an eye on everything. Then we had 2 amazing guides for the ziplines. They kept us so safe, and really helped with the anxiety for me and one other group member who don't like heights. The experience was so memorable for a day trip and absolutely worth it! Our guides were Gizmo & Kicks, they were so amazing.

My zip line tour experience at Camp Dakota was a true blast and a half! I haven’t been on a zip line in at least ten years… I was terrified my first time, and less terrified this time but certainly nervous. Fortunately, between my tour guides and all the gear/equipment, I knew I was so safe and supported the whole time. My guides made me feel super comfortable with their thoughtfulness, communication, knowledge, good spirits, and playful humor. In their own delightful and quirky ways, Youngblood, Zen and Kiwi were all such a pleasure to interact with. One would be lucky to have any of them as a guide, and Camp Dakota itself was a really cool, dare I say magical, environment. Seeing it from way up in the trees was such a treat! I will certainly be back for more adventures at Camp Dakota. Wish I could leave more than a five star review.

Thanks, gang! See you next time.

Stay stellar. ⋆✩°｡⋆*⋆｡°✩⋆
