Buffalo Springs Campground

Although the campground has the stinkiest vault toilets, camping here was a fantastic experience. The gases from waste fermentation are really really strong despite the toilets being well ventilated and clean. The campground was well maintained and quiet at night. The host was very helpful and friendly.

Awesome little Campground! The map on the reservation site is worthless. I took a picture of the evacuation map which is much more accurate. I also posted pictures of each site so you can see your spot before you pick it. Most of the sites are too small for a truck and trailer together but there are a few that will fit. The host was nice enough to let us switch spaces to one we could fit in. There are usually a few open spaces at this campground for first come first serve but don't bet on it on a holiday weekend.  This is a quiet campground that doesn't allow lots of noise like big parties,  ATVs, or shooting so plan accordingly.  There are miles and miles of dirt roads just outside the campground that are behind a closed gate most of the year (usually open July-Sept ) so it's great for biking without worrying about vehicle traffic.

Campground was beautiful - quiet - and forestry, camp host was awesome, vault toilets were clean, and the sites were well spread out. SO many aspens at this site, we can’t wait to come back in the fall!

Great National Forest campground near Buena Vista and Breckenridge. Close to lots of amazing hikes. Site 18 is the best of the bunch by far. It's large and is the most private. Hope to get back someday soon!

Great location! We rented a cabin and loved it.  It was the perfect size for our family of 4 and our dog.  It was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful!

Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn

We had the pleasure of staying at The White Bear Country Inn for five nights over Christmas.  We were totally satisfied with Inn and its services.  The room was clean and comfortable.  The breakfast was excellent each morning.  Also the Inn had delightful Christmas decorations in the lobby.  Each day there were big bowls of fresh apples and oranges on a table in the lobby.  I highly recommend this Inn.

We stayed one night here at the end of a two week stay in the state.  It was in a nice town and convenient for returning to MSP airport.
We were quite happy with the well-equipped room as well as the service.  The shower was roomy, had shelves for your supplies, and was enclosed with a door, which was so much better than having a curtain that has water escape and fall on the floor.
The breakfast was great, with lots of variety.  Some little kids had left some mess behind, but that’s more of a reflection on their parents than on the hotel!
One of the most impressive things was that the owner of the hotel, Bill, actually greeted us while we were at breakfast and asked us about our stay.  Usually you never even see the owner of one of these establishments.
We would definitely stay here if we were in the area again and highly recommend it.

So we were here to celebrate our anniversary.
We had an issue.
The owner called us which was cool.
Woke up to see a blessing.
I'll let the owner if he wants talk about it in his comments.
Would definitely come back!

When decorating for our wedding we were told event center would be locked. Somehow parts of our wedding decor were stolen due to the fact it was not locked. They told us after things were stolen that the room is not locked due to it being an exit for all guests. When we expressed our upset they said we will give you $50 and let you know if we hear anything else. The email we received emphasized how the point of our wedding day was not that things were stolen mind you on their account but in fact our wedding day was about our love and memories and gathering of loved ones seemingly downplaying the fact that we had items stolen while we placed our trust in them. They also made it a point to state "this has never happened before".
When deciding to host a reception at a venue we put our trust in what we were told. Yes our wedding was a magical day and special to us HOWEVER we still had items stolen after we placed them in their care.

What a hidden gem.  Bar and restaurant are both excellent—and both filled with locals.  Seriously, I show up on a Monday at 4 pm and there are only two spots left at the bar, and everyone is local?  That says something.  Walkable to the cute and inviting downtown White Bear Lake, walkable to the lake itself and two nice parks/boat landings/beaches, quick access from the interstate.  E-bike charger available at a bike rack.  Would love to see an EV charger there as well, that would draw in a lot of customers!

DeGray Lake State Park Resort

Went here for the Thanksgiving buffet for $40 (includes drink and gratuity) and it was PHENOMENAL!!! They had everything you could want and more, from a massive salad bar and two tiered dessert table, to three meats, three gravies, and all the sides and fixings your heart could crave. We got there and immediately found a parking spot, went inside and there was no wait or line, got immediately seated and was able to head straight to the buffet with hardly any one around the food. The dining area had a great crowd but not chaotic and we got a lovely window seat overlooking the crystal waters and mountains with the trees changing colors. It was a beautiful Thanksgiving meal. Very low key, very delicious and zero stress involved. Afterwards it was nice to stroll the grounds outside and take in nature away from the hustle and bustle of town. I LOVE this holiday and I love cooking but this was definitely the way to go for anyone looking for a nice break at a place that takes you in like family, keeps the sweet tea full, and gorgeous views and no chaos. Only downside is no leftovers for later!!! Will definitely be back, this was truly a beautiful memory I want to experience the years to come.

camping couldn't get Internet or WiFi. That's the only thing to complain about everything else is so darn great. Staff was really great golf course was fun, what kind of grass do they have on the fairway? Went on a eagle boat watch, yes saw eagles and guide was very knowledgeable. Camping was fun and trails were well marked  Saw lots of deer, drive slowly please.

The location is very beautiful surrounded by tall pine forest bordering a well maintained lake. Food in the resort is expensive and the breakfast was over cooked dry but the service was nice. There is an outdoor playground, pool, gym, and a place to fish along with many activities to sign up for. We went on a guided group boat tour of the lake and a nighttime safari driving golf carts on the golf course! It was an awesome place for group events

Great lodge, excellent and helpful staff, and awesome view. Rooms are a bit dated, and coffee makers shouldn't be in the bathrooms. That's a pet-peeve of mine for all hotels. Otherwise great experience.

We camped out and had a great experience. The lake is beautiful and the activities are as exciting as they are varied. A crown jewel of US state parks.

Lazy Fish at Pelican Point

We rented site 13 and for being the first site you see/pass by, we really have no bad things to say. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean for being a campground, shower room is a bit outdated/dirty but that is to be expected at a campground. The site was great, hookups worked and no issues. Fire pit was clean and picnic table was sturdy. We did pay for the upgraded wifi and it worked great. If i had to find something to mention it would be that the weekend we were there it was very busy and lots of traffic for a couple events going on but that was planned way before us so that’s not a downside, just something to be aware of. Overall 5/5.

We rented campsite 31 which is listed as a pull-through. Upon arrival, we find out that campsite 32 is occupied and blocks us from being able to pull through. OK whatever so we back-in. The picnic tables and fire pits are right next to each other so not really conducive to private use. The women's bathroom only has one shower while the men have a shower room separate from their bathroom. The second day we're there the campers in site 32 parked their truck and bought right up to our camper. We checked in online so we never saw anyone from the office. We packed up and left even though we had planned to stay longer.

Stayed 2 nights in #29 and then when the weekend was over moved to #5 for 2 more nights and it was a Great Lake view. Weekends Are A Little Louder But All In Fun👍

Very nice campground with many amenities! Restaurant had good food, drinks and service. Campground was quiet and appealing

It's a very nice, friendly  atmosphere,  next to the beach/campground. Good food, a little  on the spendy side, but, sometimes  it's better than a trip to town.

South Isle Family Campground

The people are nice. The buildings and grounds are about 40 year's overdue for updating.
Not likely to go there again.

Love this place! Used to come every summer as a kid. 2 decades later and it hasn't changed too much (for the best).

No lake, but they have a pool for swimming! A pond with paddle boats, mini mini golf, daily train and hay ride, a nice playground with my favorite SPINNING 4 person swing! A couple arcade games in the main office, and a well stocked shop. With candy, snacks, shirts, ice cream, and all those camping essentials you may have forgot. Not to mention they have a disk golf coarse with the most clever holes/baskets ever! Also, lets not forget, the Redneck Games/Wacky Olympics! Fun and funny group games/activities where you compete against other campers.

The staff are as nice as ever and VERY accommodating!

⭐10 out of 10⭐ Would recommend!

What an amazing place to stay and camp. Everything was wonderful. From the greeting by the wonderful hosts to the clean sites and beautiful shaded area for our tent. The Pool was nice and warm and let super clean. All the other campers were inviting and I met several new friends. We are certainly returning again and will recommend our friends and family to this place as well. Thanks to everyone for such an amazing stay

Spencer and Brittany

Very nice place, lots of things to do, games to play.  Would be an oasis for kids!

Very nice family friendly campground. Warm pool, nice playground, fun activities.

Stateline Bar & Grill

I have been driving past the State Line for several years and finally had the chance to stop and check it out. There isn't a lot of room to park a semi truck, but it was worth the effort. The food is great! We ordered the poppers and man. Those were awesome!! I had the State line burger, It was a mess to eat, but damn good. My wife ordered the combo plate (Friday evening is Mexican night) she said the taco was really good, but she asked for chicken enchiladas and got ground beef. Other than that, she was happy with her meal. I am looking forward to the next time I can stop and try some of the other offerings on the menu....

Wonderful Lady Working Behind The Bar, Nice Eye 👁️ Candy Also, Friendly, Good 😊 People, That’s What You Need When Dealing With People. She Was Awesome

I got the chicken bacon ranch. The bacon was so hard I couldn't chew it. The chicken which I thought would be a patty was chunks of chicken. They kept falling out of my sandwich and we're hard for the most part. My onion rings were amazing. My husband liked his chicken fried steak said it was great

This place was well worth the stop. Very friendly service and good food

Try the tasty burgers:
Stopped by for a quick lunch, ordered a steak wrap and a cheeseburger.
Both were cooked perfectly and the cheeseburger was delicious.  Wish service could have been a lil bit quicker but overall we had a great meal.  We played darts while we waited for the food and the whole place seemed clean and cozzy.  Thank you!

Hyatt House Minot

Do NOT stay at this hotel, save your money and stay anywhere else! We paid around $370 for two rooms and the rooms were dirty and the furniture was old and worn. The bathroom had hair in the tub, and we were disturbed in the middle of the night concerning a noise complaint, which wasn't us. Then to add to top it all off we received a phone call while we were already checked out and on our way home. The front desk asked us to leave or the cops will be called! We informed them that we had already checked out and left. She then told us that we can no longer stay at their establishment because some guy allegedly harassed one of their housekeepers and they blamed our family. We explained again that we had left the premises so we couldn't understand why they were calling and accusing our family. We then asked them to check the cameras, they said they would talk to their housekeepers and get back to us. We left it at that but decided to call the next day to find out if the issue was resolved, which it wasn't. I explained to them that we talked to all of our kids and that it wasn't anyone from our family as we have more respect for the working class than that. Again, I asked the hotel to check the cameras. The front desk clerk then asked me for a physical description of all the males in our group, which I gave her. We were asked to call back this evening which my husband did. He was told by the manager that they didn't have cameras anywhere except the ground floor and the "Facts" were that the two housekeepers stories matched so therefore our family was tried and convicted according to them. They couldn't even match the description of the males in our family but they were guilty as far as they were concerned. My husband tried to ask questions but the manager didn't give him a chance to be heard and just kept talking over him. I truly believe that it was a racially motivated incident, as we are Native Americans. We are beyond upset and it's sickening that this type of treatment is still happening. Do Better!

This hotel got Hyatt back in my good books after a stay at a bad one in Cincinnati a couple years ago.

Front desk staff at check-in were awesome. Very welcoming and informative. Staff at check-out a little less so, not very friendly.

The room was spacey and comfy. The breakfast options were excellent and plentiful. The location is good, just off the highway.

So starting off checking into the hotel, the gal at the desk(I am horrible at getting names, I apologize. But she had a nose ring with a chain) was super friendly! She gave me my cards and told me to enjoy my stay. The room was incredible (I totally meant to book just a single one bedroom king room, but hit 2 rooms on accident, whatever, I made the best of it and used the additional room's bed as a place to put my suitcase on, and my boyfriend used the shower and toilet so we could get ready faster) the beds were way comfy and we ended up using them more than the couch haha! The tub was a little small, but I am more of a shower person anyways so I didn't care. The bathroom in the one room was so spacious, the other had the sink on the outside of the bathroom. However, the kitchen was amazing and big, just wish there would have been a bigger trash can available. We ended up buying our own pack of water since we drank so much. I really don't have that much to complain about. Other than my mobile key on my phone didn't wanna work and I kept forgetting to say something while I was down in the lobby.

Upon arrival I was greeted by Shakeera and Lorena they were both polite and helpful getting me checked in to my company accommodation. They explained all amenities and services available at the property.  The room is nice and clean for the most part. Definitely looks a little worn in areas but that's understandable due to the high occupancy. Overall great fresh breakfast and cordial staff. Thank for welcoming me back to Minot. Best regards!!!! Special recognition towards Ms. Paige thank for your kindness and compassion for your guests. I appreciate you helping me during my stay.Theo has been a great host while staying at the Hyatt House a true professional, going above and beyond for the quality of comfort. Your customer service should be commended much appreciated!!!

Out of the way, but not nearly as out of the way as it was just a few years ago.  Well kept and the room was huge.  Breakfast is superior to others I've had at hotels in Minot, and it is constantly attended to so everything is kept fresh and the service area spotless.  I will return here.

Wilstem

My daughter and I just stayed at the Capone cabin.  We went on the evening elephant encounter and the did the entire elephant encounter the next day along with the giraffe encounter and the safari. Words cannot even begin to describe how much fun we had, from Joe with the elephants and the gentleman with the giraffes to the Roos and Crew team, everyone was so knowledgeable of and  attentive to the animals, it was amazing! You can tell the staff LOVE these animals, they are well cared the grounds of property inside and out are so clean. The cabin was clean and had so many things available inside to use during our stay, right down to dishes in the cabinet.  I cannot remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did on the safari, the animals were not shy at all to come to the car and get feed. It was amazing! The staff were incredible! We will be back, big shout out to the Wilstem team, you are wonderful. 😃

What a wonderful place this is! I am so happy that all these animals are being taken care of and living well. And....the public is allowed to enjoy it all up close. The elephant encounter was fantastic!  Brian took time to answer all my questions and thoroughly explain the daily events of Vicky and Cindy.  The drive through safari was amazing,  but beware of the ostriches and emus because they are very aggressive trying to get the food. I loved every minute of it. The gift shop is full of great clothes and items for adults and children alike.
I would like to have seen signs or billboards advertising the park along the main road as that might attract people who are unaware of its existence.  Lastly,  it would definitely benefit the park to have overnight parking for RVs to grab those passerbys.  Thank you Wilstem for providing an experience I will never forget.

This place is amazing!! The animals are quite friendly.  They are well cared for and have lots of room to roam. The big birds are inquisitive and will eat from the bucket. Hold it tight, the "bite" is strong and easy to drop.
The giraffes and Issac were wonderful! I can't say enough good things about Wilstem! We will definitely be back.

Luna, the sloth made our day! She was so friendly and so active  for a 🦥, she was a real diva! She let us feed and pet her and then was playing with her blankie and soft toy. It was a fun experience for all of us! We will definitely go to visit Luna again.
The other animals such as the giraffe, kangaroos, monkeys, and even the parrot were all so friendly.

We went for the otter experience and it was amazing. Cash, Hank, and George are the 3 otters you get to meet. Rebecca is their handler and was full of knowledge. You can tell she is their human momma. Very unique experience that I won’t forget.
Do wish that you could walk up to the elephant enclosure just to see them but that’s part of another experience that you either pay to drive through or walk through their building.
Beautiful grounds that the potential to do so much!

Wonderland Cafe & Lodge

Love love love the Wonderland Cafe. The entire staff is the very best and my,gosh, I have never had a bad meal there. If you're in Gardiner, Mt.  ,please give them a try. You won't regret it.

Went for lunch and some was good, some not. The elk chili was great, if you're going for that then get it and you won't be disappointed. I chose the caldera burger which was not bad but the regular seasoned fries were extremely over salted to the point where it was difficult to eat many.

We had a large party of 2 groups together totalling 10 of us on 2 seperate tickets. Since we were a large table, an automatic 20% tip was put on each of our bill. That's not ok. Especially not ok when the service was sub-par. After the food was dropped off and one trip back with some ranch for the kids, that was the end of our server until he dropped off the tickets. No refills on water, no checking in on the food, no ask if we wanted anything else, nothing. And the demand a 20% tip for that?

I get that it's Gardiner, Montana and they are trying to gather up as much tourist money as they can as most people will stop once and continue on their way. We live in the area and travel here several times a year and with the demand for such a high tip with minimal service and a mix of good food with not so great, I will eat somewhere else next time for sure.

Such a great spot. We had a delicious dinner here-- I had the stuffed portobello mushroom, which was flavorful and satisfying-- not always the case for the vegetarian option. My husband raved about the Elk Chili mac and cheese-- honestly says it's the best mac and cheese he's ever had. Plus, we sat at the bar with a wonderful older man who is a wildlife photographer, and got to hear his amazing stories while we enjoyed a delicious dinner. The staff were friendly, prompt and deserve an extra star on this review. Highly recommend.

Wonderful coffee and scones in the morning, came here 3/4 days! (Would have come 4/4 days but we went searching for animals before they opened!) Great location just outside of park entrance. Dinner was also great! We had the chili mac, side salad, and cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. Yum!

Wonderland has the best food in Gardiner - it's not even close. After multiple visits with my family, we've all agreed that everything was delicious. It isn't cheap, but the prices reflect the much higher quality. Furthermore, they easily accommodate special dietary requirements without any problems. Staff are polite and professional. Go early to avoid a long wait.

My Old Kentucky Home Campground

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting filthy wouldn’t dare use them. The electrical and water supplies are an excessive distance from the sites and I had to use an additional electrical cord in order to reach the electrical supply. The grounds were not well kept looks nothing like the photo. The sites themselves were so unlevel that they required 10 or more inches to try to stabilize your unit. On a positive note, it was close to several distilleries in downtown Bardstown. I could not see us ever staying here again.

We stayed 2 nights September 18 & 19 the bathrooms (men’s & women’s) were nasty not just messy I mean disgusting like they hadn’t been cleaned all summer. The park itself looked good except the camp host right up front was very cluttered and had things underneath his camper. We still love the area but I think they could do a lot better

Camp host lacked the personality to be a host. This was our 2nd time communicating with him and both times he left us with a poor impression. The website stated many sites available, but the host said they were reserved. We won’t try staying again.

If it would let me leave zero, I would. The campground is terribly small, and yet somehow it states that site #24 can accommodate at 34' rig. This is absolutely false. We generally stay in state parks about 90% of our camping adventures. So I can forgive the uneven sites, the lack of directions or guidance. What I can't put up with is saying an RV will fit in a site that it clearly won't and having the electric pedestal for site #24 sitting in site #23. We would have needed nearly 2 extension cords to reach and the pedestal looked like it was in disrepair. We went to the proshop to review this problem and he seemed to act like it wasn't his problem. Suggested talking to the host camp who wasn't even on the grounds....no way to get a refund! Rude and unhelpful staff. Save yourself from lighting $40 bucks on fire and find somewhere else!

Campground bathrooms were filthy and never had soap. Clumps of hair the size of golfballs in the shower. Scum coated sinks. Maintenance comes thru and just sprays bleach water. The roads need repaving badly. Also be aware that golfcourse lawnmowers and leaf blowers start at 7:30 am.
