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

While the campground is very well situated and the bathrooms were clean and it was nice to have shower options, it would also have been nice to know that sites 14 and 16 go underwater and are the last to drain in a rainstorm (which are common). If you are booking and tent camping, I’d suggest trying to avoid those two spots or be 100% sure to set up on the highest ground (which we also mean to do always but sometimes need a reminder, especially without tent pads).

It would be helpful if hints like this were relayed by the campsite host, but as that was definitely not our experience, we wanted to share that here for future campers!

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.
