We had the best time at Roundup Horse Camp. Facility is rustic just how it should be at a horse camp in the Badlands right? Clean facility, love the fact that itβs somewhat isolated so riding out there is a rarity of seeing another person besides a ranger or maintenance person outside our group. Lots of wildlife Bison, 2 herds iof wild horses near the horse camp, and elk sited on numerous rides. Evenings can hear the elk bugling. It was absolutely a beautiful stay at Roundup!

Was a little disappointed with the grounds this year, not mowed and no rangers stopped to empty garbage the whole time there, the stalls were very messy when we got there and we ran out of toilet paper

Only negative was the garbage cans had not been emptied from previous guests. They were piled up and overflowing.

It has everything you need from the very clean bathrooms to the parvillne. Nice big area for trucks and trailers and nice horse corrals. Although the horse tanks could be cleaned out after every group leaves before the next ones come in. Another wise a great camp.

Things went well. Buffalo came through camp every morning. Wild horses came to visit camp as well.

Latrines are clean and smell good! the shelter with picnic tables is a nice respite from the sun and heat (next time I might want to bring a hammock!). The stalls were fairly clean when we got there and it's always great to have running water and the troughs. Rides were hot but gorgeous, LOTS of bison, more than we've ever run into before. Friendly rangers who stopped by the campsite and the bison that roamed through were pleasant :)
