After years of people asking if they could stay in one of our tepees, we have decided to provide guests the opportunity to rent a tepee for the night. Normally reserved for our overnight camp staff, we are making our newest tepees available for visitors. These hand painted, 18 foot traditional style Lakota tepees include a floor cover, liner for privacy, and door flap. Outfitted with various futons and/or mattresses, pillows, and blankets, this lodge will be a cozy overnight experience!
