Nice park very close to the beautiful Badlands but there isn't much else around. The sites are nice sized and all are quite level and well shaded. Great dog run and exercise area, probably the best we've seen and staff is very friendly. Would camp here again if we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the best campground in the area. It has all the amenities and is very well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very well maintained park, and Joe, the owner does a great job of customer service. We used the park to explore the Badlands. The only drawback during this visit was the White River, which runs right next to the park had water in it. That provided a bumper crop of mosquitos. So much in fact that we left earlier than planned. I would stay here again at a different time of year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Some shade. Restrooms clean, Shower water barely warm. Good location, across from the missile headquarters, about 10 miles from the Badlands Visitors Center. Just off of I-90. Internet signal is low, we're using our own. Probably could not hookup to theirs. They have a plug to combine two 30-amp circuits but our management computer is too smart and only sees 30. Might stay again. Might try a different campground. Sites are good size. Staying 1 week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Looks like this is an older park on the upswing. Lots of new paint and very clean. Couple in charge said they have been here since December 2004 and are excellent hosts. The small cafe here is a hidden gem and is worth a stop by itself, even if you aren't staying the night. The food & service was outstanding. Good launching point for exploring the Badlands area and closer to the highway than other area parks. Definitely an older park but a good, basic park that's affordable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is an older park and is showing its age, for example the tables are old and have been painted several times, some are in bad repair, grass is mostly weeds, etc. 30A was highest offered electric in spite of claims of 50A which was promised when our reservation was taken. Some pull-thru sites had standing water and were blocked from use. Worst problem was mosquitos!! The perimeter of the campground has standing water almost everywhere and is ideal breeding for these insects and they are voracious and numerous 24 hours a day. The local radio stations also warn of West Nile Virus being present in the mosquito population of the Badlands. The "petting zoo" consisted of a bison/buffalo, horse and steer behind a poorly maintained wire fence. Our reservation was not honored as when taken, the sites are marginal, the environment is hostile and we would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was pleasant. We chose not to use the showers after using the restrooms. We just didn't want to face it and chose to use the RV shower instead. It would have been doable with shower shoes. The pool was small, but nice and warm. It was a welcome site in the middle of the very dry Badlands. Trees have been planted at most sites but simply struggle to grow in this environment. It was 100 degrees on this day and we were told it was mild weather because it is usually 110 to 115 this time of year. Campgroud is very close to Badlands National Park. A motel is next to the campground and the office serves meals in a small diner. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We like to support family businesses and this family may be terrific but their campground was fairly nasty when we were there, perhaps because it was nearing the end of their season. What we assume was the restaurant at the back of the office was closed and filled with junk. The store was fairly empty and dirty. The sites are mostly dirt and small but level with the occasional small tree (no shade though), we had enough room for our 30 ft class A. Many of the picnic tables were so warped and broken down as to be useless and the playground equipment looked quite derelict. The firepit near our site was filled with smelly, disgusting garbage and there were many piles of dog poop in the weedy areas between sites. The laundry was reasonably clean (just one pile of junk spilling out from the arcade area) but if you wanted hot water you couldn't fill more than one washer at a time. The bathrooms/showers looked freshly painted and were clean but the showers didn't give you anyplace to keep your stuff dry and tended to turn cold periodically. The woman who manned the office was friendly but I wouldn't stay there again, I'd pay a little more and drive a few more miles to stay at the KOA down the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you have a snake phobia, don't open the "free cookies" canister in the office. Manager appears spaced out, unhelpful, and cranky. Side by side sites; trees need serious trimming. Campground has horses, and features trail rides. Although there appears to be plenty of other space available, there is a horse corral 20 feet from the campground with associated odors, bugs, and biting flies. Full hookups are 1/2 price for Escapees and Passport America. We wouldn't stay here again at full price; might stay again at 1/2 price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park, a bit out of the way on a gravel road, very quiet and price is right, passport America park, also half price with Escapees as well, will stay again if in area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I would rate this campground higher except for the washboard road you have to drive on for a mile to get there. Campground is in an out of the way area. Drive to Badlands isn't far but there isn't much else around there. Once in the campground it is nice. Mostly centered around providing trail rides on their horses. It is quiet and peaceful. Nothing much to obscure the stars. Power did go out during rain storm but came on quickly. Only has 30 amp service. Prices for laundry, phone, modem are higher than average. Guy in office is a little strange. We camped here in a Motorhome.
