This is a very unusual campground in that it feels like we are all camping on the street (except for the tenters). You have to accept it and appreciate the stunning beauty of the Badlands! The Ranger programs were outstanding, and the dark night sky was incredible. Restrooms were okay, and showers were appreciated.

Great little campsite! Right next to water spigot and not a bad walk from the bathroom. Beautiful view of the scenery.

Very calm and laid back campground. Lots of room for pulling in and out. It has a lot of space for the picnic table set ups. The showers are simple use with quarters and are open all night thankfully! The restrooms were clean.

I loved the friendly staff at the lodge as well! Good food and coffee! Made our trip to the badlands very easy and fun staying at this campground!

We were dry camping at Cedar Pass so no electricity or water. Appreciated the free showers but the water from the shower heads was so strong that it hurt certain sensitive parts!

Very barren campground, but fantastic location - truly stunning scenery all around, and fabulous sunrises and sunsets. Nice and quiet, and dark-sky compliant (unbelievable star gazing at night!). Scenic drive through the Badlands right at your doorstep. Bathrooms were fine, basic and clean. Shower house was separate and cost extra.

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.
