Friendly staff, clean. We liked that it had trees and didn’t pack in like sardines. Small pool.

Staff was very friendly! They told us about a meteor shower that we didn't know about and were very helpful helping us find out site!

My granddaughters loved the free pancakes.

Love the campgrounds. Did not appreciate the campers who were wearing 3 percenter t-shirts. Such extreme hate should not be allowed and represented on koa campgrounds.

First time staying at a KOA & we can’t wait to do another! Love that the locations are absolutely everywhere. Everything was clean and the staff was thorough and attentive. We normally tent camp, but tried a cabin to switch things up—highly recommend! AC worked very well & they have a variety of meals so you don’t have to cook ! Just book it. You won’t regret it!

he staff was very friendly and accommodating. The cost was a little high be reasonable. They serve breakfast and dinner, we tried the dinner menu (limited) but good. WIFI was strong (2g and 5g) and we were able to stream. We were assigned to site 77, on check in I inquired about satellite friendly site and was relocated to site 22. Unfortunately, the roof sat was blocked but we used the portable a

Good location, awesome trees and grounds! Very personable and involved owner. Only recommendation is to trim trees so 13 foot rigs don't hit small branches. Some branches as low as 11 feet.

You have a beautiful place. I am glad it is dark enough to see the stars at night. Thank you for breakfast! I appreciate the hot foods available. I had a long day driving and was in no condition to travel to get food.

It was great. The only things I would change is $3 for a small bag of ice and the fact that trash cans are only at the front.

Some people friendly others… no so much. More of self service than other site.

Loved staying here while exploring Badlands National Park for a few days. It had so many amenities and really gave off a communal, family vacation type of vibe. The free pancakes in the morning were an amazing touch. I really recommend staying here!

We were there for only one night but it is a nice clean campground. Free pancake breakfast ,showers are dated but water pressure was awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We stayed 2 nights, one night on our way west and a second on our way back toward home. The campground was clean and everyone was very helpful and friendly. The location was right at the edge of the badlands, making it easy to do some hiking (after a short drive to a parking area). AND, every morning, the owner is making pancakes for everyone! The owners are awesome people lovers!

We were going on vaction in the Rapid City area and wanted to stop in the Badlands area first and was looking what was available in the area. It is a very nice campground and clean facilities with breakfast and supper available.

Great location. Didn’t have a chance to use any of the amenities. $5 early check-in (checked in 50 mins early and site was empty) was a bit opportunistic given the temperature and the circumstances. Some trash was onsite and made its way to our site.

Location was great but we had a lot of issues with the campground. Bathrooms were beyond gross. Mildew in the showers. The 2 family style bathrooms are not enough for the amount of tent sites & were constantly monopolized by 1 large group right next to them. We didn’t request a specific site but would have appreciated 1 towards the back since we were there for 4 days. The staff was unfriendly.

Great people and a great place to stay! The only problems we had were the speedbumps due to our low rider trailer.

Not too shabby

Best place to stay in the Badlands! Nice shaded sites, free pancakes for breakfast, busy but still felt peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

Great campgrounds close to the Badlands loop and visitor center. Great to have breakfast and dinner available too!
Aug 12, 2021
Overall we had a great overnight stay. Friendly staff, very close to the Badlands. Free pancakes for breakfast were amazing! The pool was small and green and the playground needs an upgrade but we still had a good time and would stay again!

I loved staying in the deluxe cabin. Beds were comfortable, a/c worked well and the bathroom was roomy.

Great experience, wished I could go back now. Pancakes were great every morning. Thanks bob

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities and cabin.

Our stay was good, camp grounds were clean. The pool could have been a tad cleaner, water was murky, which indicates chemicals were lacking. My suggestion…your guest age ranges are children - retiree’s it would be nice to have an “adult only” pool time. I tried to use the pool (due to a leg injury), kids monopolized it and had no regard for adults in the pool. It was very chaotic.

Great campground, very well maintained. Only issue was with the FLIES - they were everywhere and made being outside almost unbearable. The staff is very friendly and helpful and breakfast a nice plus. Food from their Kookhouse was decent and very convenient.

Probably the best KOA at which we have stayed! Owners were very helpful and friendly. Amenities were fantastic. Clean, well-maintained facilities. Just outside Badlands National Park entrance.

It's a little bit off the beaten path but wonderful campground with easy access to the office, showers and pool.

Staff were really friendly. Having the cook shack was a nice option for dinner.

I loved camping near the Badlands. The people who checked me in and took me to my campsite were wonderful and efficient. The free pancake breakfast was especially good.

I have very mixed feelings all because we had a terrible site, #73. We looked at the Maintenance yard , dumpster and a camper clearly being lived in and not maintained. Staff was great, kookhouse a nice touch when you do not want to cook. We were tourist. So we decided no sitting outside, a lot of staff carts and the view, at least at night it was quiet. Reserved in Jan.

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.
