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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Nice stay. Free pancakes a plus. Close to BNP. Friendly staff and hard-working owners. Nice level shaded site #50. Just wish they had more full hook-ups! Quiet & remote. Do any grocery shopping prior to your stay because the store in Interior is lacking. Camp store is nicely stocked for camping needs.

The food for sale was a definite bonus for us!

The staff were friendly and helpful. The laundry and bathrooms were very clean. The pancakes were good and appreciated. The lawn games were nice to have on a relaxing day. I would stay again and recommend this park. It's a great home base for sight seeing.

Super convenient location. Only thing that could be better is lawn maintenance. I noticed a lot of sites (including ours) that needed to be weed eated.

Great site with patio, close to the bathrooms, but bathroom/showers could use an update.

It was great!

Great KOA. Plenty of space to spread out on our patio and in our site. Not a fan of the all in one restrooms, but they were clean and functioned well.

We reserved a pull thru site for a mtr.hm. w/towed veh. 3.5 mos. prior to our stay. When we arrived, we were assigned a site barely long enough for our mtr.hm. let alone our towed vehicle. Also there was to place to park our towed veh. When asked to give us a site conforming with our reservation, we were refused - even though other sites were available. Owner was extremely rude & threated tow veh.

Wonderful campground! So close to Badlands entrance, great shaded sites, friendly staff. One of the best KOAs we’ve stayed at!

Our favorite KOA experience so far- great location for exploring the Badlands. Sites are shaded and relatively far apart. Pool was great on a hot day, although a mid-day cleaning might be helpful on heavy-use days. Food options were great. Large ply area - consider upgrading the play equipment to make it even better.

Enjoyed the shade and river setting. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Store is well supplied with all the necessities. Breakfast and dinner food service was a real treat- great selection, well prepared, and a good value too.

Brief stay, one night. We had a tire problem and the people there helped us out! Wonderful to sleep beneath the cottonwoods.

Loved your dog park and the trees.

Great family owned place. A little farther to travel to what I wanted to see but everything in these huge parks is a long drive! I was just getting used to it. Nice to have food available and shade and grass around your site. Everything was well maintained. Enjoyable stay.

This is our first stay at a KOA. We LOVED this Badlands KOA. The vibe was great, the staff was great. We'll be back!

One overnight.

The people running it were rude and the we could not use the pool. That was the reason we booked that location would not recommend to anyone.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Any pool closure during August was due to thunderstorms or hours we are open. We cannot have guests in the water with lightning.

Pancakes! Internet >50Mbps ! Everything works! Friendly helpful staff!

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.
