The site was well maintained and the bathrooms were well kept. The views are amazing at any campsite.

Beautiful location with clean, nice bathrooms and showers. No privacy here, but everyone was respectful of each other. Can get very windy and storms can be strong. The sky at night is incredible.

Nice location within the Badlands. The campground facilities were adequate, but not great. The national parks appear to need money, as staffing overall appeared needing.

We stayed in site # 10 (Agate) and # 81 (Butte) for one night each. It is a nice campground with good restroom and shower facilities. The sites are close together with limited privacy, as is to be expected based on the Badlands terrain. But it worked well for us in our Class B van. There is a picnic table on each site with a wooden screen to give shade from the sun. We enjoyed our time there! Verizon signal was reasonable at our sites. The campsite is very close to the visitor center (which has excellent fossil and geology exhibits) and you can walk or bike to some of the closer scenic overlooks.

The campground has cool views of the badlands, is close to the visitor center, and has a store to buy essentials if needed. We enjoyed the night time ranger talks.
