Gorgeous views, clean amenities. Really happy to have snagged a few nights' stay at the laat minute. Tent/RV spots are rather close together, but neighbors were respectful & quiet, so no issues there. Cedar Pass was such a great way to experience Badlands NP. And the clear night sky was breathtaking. I would highly recommend camping here. I would do so again without hesitation.

Always a great place to stay. The reservation system has pros and cons. Nice to know you've got a place when you arrive (although some campers have stories of spots taken despite reservations), but at the same time makes for an inflexible itinerary, which used to be one of the fun parts of a vacation.

Beautiful views all around. Great ranger talk with knowledgeable and skilled rangers. Immediate access to the park. We stayed two nights as part of a six park trip.

We had a nice grass tent site with great views of the Badlands. The bench seat/table and shade were a great addition. We have mixed reviews regarding the coin operated showers. The males had nice hot water every day yet the female showers were always cold. We reported this to caretaker who said he would report it for maintenance despite both hot water systems being quite new. We can’t explain it but that was the only downside.

Beautiful spot with a great view of Badlands and centrally located, close to the scenic loop drive. Convenient and easy to navigate area with showers. I hope to camp here again someday.

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.
Safety & rules
- Ensure your campsite is prepared and belongings are secured due to weather conditions.
