Perfect location for visiting Badlands National Park. Friendly staff, clean restrooms and access to delicious food prepared by staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We actually didn’t end up staying because it was 108 and our site had no shade.

Great campground loved the pancakes!

Friendly and helpful staff. The free pancakes were a nice touch. The infrastructure is tired, particularly the bathhouse. Maintenance is marginal. Bathhouse cleanliness is poor.

Please bring bathroom issues to our attention when you are here, so we can act upon the issues.

Loved this place. Clean. Large spots. Decent baths. Best locale for exploration. This area is far way from any real supplies. Come prepared. But the Camp Store is very very well stocked. They have breakfast and dinner options. And the food is good. Great place. Would stay again.

The teepee was not the best choice for the 100 degree day however everything about this campground was great! Very clean and very friendly staff! They're so nice they even make their guests free pancakes in the morning! Best KOA I've stayed at!

The staff nice and facilities were great. Need to fix the AC unit on cabin 89

We loved the area but noticed that some public spaces like the pool needed some cleaning. The front office was extremely friendly.

Most importantly, the staff was the friendly and helpful people that I have come to expect. That said, the cabins were fly traps, and the air conditioning was inadequate, but it was also in poor shape even in the main buildings. The showers and restrooms were also a disappointment, you can't cover dank with paint and tiles. The mens room was just a step above using the bushes.

Very quiet, excellent setting, well maintained!

Considering the insane temperatures while we were here (highs of 106 and 108!) this was a comfortable stay. Cabins are well maintained. Bathrooms need more attention. Men’s showers had broken holders for hand held shower sprayers. Sinks drain very slowly. Staff at cookhouse were kind enough to make us food one night when we arrived about 15 minutes after closing. Very appreciative of them!

Nice friendly KOA. No breakfast (too small?)

We had a great time in the Badlands and during our stay at this KOA! Clean bathrooms, swimming pool to cool off, nice sites, and friendly staff.

Enjoyed our 2 stay here even with the Cicadas overheard, only a few fell to the ground or on our chairs, but not the snake! Loved the Pancake breakfast each morning and the hut that campers could pay and get something different for breakfast or dinner, especially since there are no grocery stores or restaurants nearby. The women owner in the office was a bit grumpy each time I asked a question.

This is the perfect spot to stay for exploring the badlands. The crew was incredibly helpful and accomodating. I will recommend this location to anyone wanting to see the Badlands!!

Great campground with lots of amenities, esp for kids. Our site had a decent amount of shade. There were a ton of flies that made sitting outside difficult when it wasn't windy, but I'm sure that's not something the campground can control.

It was easy to maneuver a 36 ft to with a F250 crew cab with 8 foot bed around the campground. The site was clean. The staff in the store were very nice. Convenient to the park. The only downside is the pool is very small.

Very nice facility and staff! Clean restrooms and really liked the idea of the cook shack and getting people together.

Nicely wooded, staff was friendly, washers and dryers worked well, quiet. Read about this location in a top 10 listicle, and would definitely recommend. Stayed here 4 nights with a travel trailer.

Rating: 4/5 from a KOA Holiday perspective Overall: We stayed 1 night in September 2021 with a 37ft Class A with a tow vehicle. Nice KOA Holiday with many options for RV and camping sites and lots of shade (vs. the Cedar Pass Badlands campground). Overpriced for a 1-night stop for which Cedar Pass may be a better choice, but a great option if you plan to spend multiple nights and enjoy the amenities. Campsite/Campground: The campground was very spacious and overall easy to maneuver. We had some confusion on the way out due to some one-way signs, but cleared driving the wrong way in a one-way with staff and made it out ok :) . Great shade in many sites, especially Jackalope Lane, Prairie Dog Trail, turkey run, Coyote Path, and Hoot Owl Drive. We had site 143 which was a patio site with LOTS of space between sites. Great site if you plan to spend a few days or week, but over priced for a quick stayover as we didn't have time to enjoy the space. Hookups: We had 50A and full hookup site with patio that included a table, chairs and propane grill. Furniture was brand new and in great condition. Hookups were a challenge – they were very far from the rig and we needed to be creative to get the sewer lines connected (see picture). Glad we had extensions! Amenities: The site looked to have great amenities. The breakfast was held in a brand-new pole barn and overall things were well kept, we just didn't have time to enjoy them with a 1-night stay. Service/Staff: Staff was good at check-in. Other: We have stayed at both the KOA and Cedar Pass campground. Cedar Pass has its challenges (from flooding to windstorms). If you are looking to stay between the two, we would suggest that if you have a soft-sided camping unit (tent or pop-up) then the KOA is the best choice to avoid flooding or wind issues. The KOA is also the best place if you are spending more than one night, as it has amenities vs. Cedar Pass which has none other than showers/restrooms. If you have a hard-sided camper and are doing a 1-night stay, Cedar Pass may be a better option with better views.
