Beautiful facility in the Badlands of North Dakota with great horse facilities, hiking & biking trails and wildlife a plenty. Sites are large and mostly gravel but they are on soft ground so watch the weather if it’s wet scout ahead. Electric was both good and bad, new boxes have been installed, 50 amp three high voltage on line (leg) two of 133v line one was ok but still 128v so it kept kicking out my EMS system. The good side was 30 amp worked FI’s but was on the upper range of okay at 126 L1 and 129 L2. Now that said this did not disrupt the trip at all, cool weather so low electric usage made this no real issue at all just something for USFS to look into.

We would highly recommend this campground for anyone passing through the area it’s beautiful, quiet and so convenient. The USFS got it very right on this facility! A+

I wish the NFS would design sites and campgrounds more welcoming to tent camping. RVers do not care about distance to car, water, or privacy. Our site was otherwise ok, w highlight of great views.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Fees & deposits

  • Download the Recreation.gov app to pay using a QR code or use cash with provided envelopes.
