Nice clean, open campground. Suitable for all size of rigs. Just be aware of what side of the road the site is located as the parking was parallel along the road. IE if site on left, when you pull up, your door will open to the road.

Not really campsites, just pull offs from the main loop. Signage to the dump/potable was subpar. Super windy. Amazing, underrated national park though so you’re really just staying here for the convenient location.
Warm water in the women’s bathhouse is not working!

A very scenic campground right in the middle of everything Badlands NP has to offer. Bike from here or hike from here. Facilities are good and the staff is very friendly. Would repeat in a heartbeat.

It all begins with Camp Host Mike, perfect person who is a perfect fit for this position. He was in my opinion as good as it gets and I thank you for that. The park was very well kept and my 3 night stay was the best I could ever ask for. Ok enough about Camp Host!! Thanks and see you again as I pass by one day. Now it’s back home to Florida where there are no hills or rocks or formations, just a big blue ocean and winters made in heaven.
