Summary
AI generated
Cedar Pass Campground offers beautiful scenery and a perfect location for exploring the Badlands, with friendly campground hosts and clean, spacious sites that provide privacy. Guests enjoy excellent stargazing opportunities and convenient access to trails and facilities. However, some reviews mention outdated showers and occasional cleanliness issues in the bathrooms, as well as a lack of shade and privacy between sites. Overall, visitors appreciate the campground's charm and its proximity to the park's attractions.
The campground is the only option inside the park. Good if you are in an RV, but wish there were a separate section just for those with tents. Very confusing finding your way around the two loop roads on foot after dark. The rest rooms were not conveniently located. The showers are coin operated. Appreciate the shaded picnic tables, but parking on the side of the access roads can get very cramped. Wish there were a pull in option at the campsites.
The campground was busy but relatively quiet. As the sun was setting the bugs did start to come out. The campground was convenient to areas of interest. We brought binoculars soon the scenic drive we were able to watch a small herd of antelope from a distance with 3 coyotes following them!
It's called the Badlands for a reason! Site great but do not, I repeat, do not, set up any awnings - free standing or on your RV. We have a Thor Sprinter Van and put our awning out and wind went from 0 to 60 mi an hour in minutes! Took both legs with it.
Having shore power was great and bathrooms were very clean and neat.
The location is great! It was a bit tight getting our 44' motorhome with jeep in tow around. Due to the layout of the sites, we were not able to let out one of our slides. All in all, to conveniently visit the Badlands NP again, we would stay here.
Cedar Pass Campground is accessible via I-90, with nearby exits leading to SD Highway 240, the Badlands Loop Road, which provides direct access to the campground. Additionally, Scenic Highway 44 connects to the area.
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.
