Just want to keep in mind that the campsite you pick is on the correct side of the road to match your door opening if in an RV as it’s one way. Otherwise you’ll find yourself with your door opening to the street.

Great location within Badlands National Park. Most sites are bump ins and the pads are not very big. It worked for our 22ft RV.

Very nice little campground with a great view. Although there's almost no trees to provide shade, there are nice covers over the picnic table that provided some shade. Bathrooms had running water and were somewhat clean. It can get very windy, so make sure you're prepared for that!

A beautiful location with stunning views. We didn't use the bath or shower, so no comment on that, but the roadside site was equipped with an electrical hookup and the site was paved, level, and sufficiently long for our 25 foot motorhome and tow car with room to spare. The water fillup and dump station are just a short distance away and easy to access, although there are a number of depressions in the road, so going slowly is advised. The sites are along both sides of the one way loop with shelters and picnic tables on the non-road side, so it you want your passenger side to open to the shelter, be sure to book a site on the outer side of the loop.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.
