Real ranch life on the South Dakota prairie — as busy or as lazy as you want it to be.
Join us for a one, two or three-day South Dakota Ranch Experience customized to your preference, budget and grit.
Learn more about the rugged South Dakota ranch lifestyle and experience first-hand where our food comes from. The days can be as busy or as lazy as you want them to be. Ranching on the South Dakota prairie is tough, but the generational families doing the work are tough enough.
Every ranch experience is custom fit to the group, the budget and the preferences of the people coming. Tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a stay and a price that suits it.
Cherry Creek works best for groups of two to four, though arrangements can be made for larger groups. Badlands Guest Ranch welcomes groups of one to twenty and is fully customizable.
Experience the life that is often glamorized and always respected on this two or three-day adventure on Cheyenne River Sioux tribal lands. You'll stay in the ranch house and eat with an awesome ranch and rodeo family. Join in on the work or watch from afar as they gather, feed and milk cows, tack horses, feed goats and bulls, check and care for babies, and train for high school rodeo. Heck, you may even walk away a little bit ranchy.
Rest easy in a variety of gorgeous guest ranch accommodations near Badlands National Park. You'll eat like royalty while learning how our food is tended to and cared for before ending up on your grocer's shelves. There's plenty of hiking, birding, fishing, stargazing and sightseeing, with lots of free time during your stay. We can even invite a Lakota interpretive guide to join you for part of your time at the ranch.
