Great service, friendly staff. Layout spread out a little offering a bit of privacy. Great wifi connection.

Easy late check in and check out, clean facilities, and a free breakfast! Couldn't ask for more :)

Staff was very friendly. Clean facilities. We had a site in the tent village. Would not recommend if you are looking for privacy and peace and quiet. You can hear everything that is going on with your neighbors. Other than that, we had a great time.

I have been camping for 50 years. This campground is by far the best one that I have ever visited. The owners Bob & Karen, and all of their employees bent over backwards to make sure every aspect of our stay was wonderful. Bob even makes free pancakes for his guests every morning! I was so impressed with how diligent they are about keeping the park tables and common areas cleaned & disinfected.

Check in was easy, staff is very friendly. They served complimentary pancakes in the morning which were very good. The location is just outside the Badlands entrance, a short drive to get to it. Would definitely camp there again!

we’ve stayed here twice now and it has got to be the best KOA we’ve ever stayed it. such wonderful people all around. will always choose here to stay when in the badlands.

All was well except the bathrooms were covered in water in the floor. It looked like a toilet was leaking. Also, would have had the breakfast if the cooks were wearing masks given the pandemic state.

Tent sites are very close. Dirtiest pool I've ever seen. Very nice check-in staff. Food shack was good considering you weren't getting anything else close by. Closest without staying in the actual NP.

Great campground. Some of the showers could use an update though. Friendly staff!

This was the most enjoyable KOA campground we’ve stayed with to date. We’ve stayed in KOA’s in IL, NE, MN, WY, MT and SD thus far. The staff were very friendly when we spoke with them both on and off duty. The couple working in the Cook Shack were especially kind and produced delicious generously portioned food! The tent camping sites were well shaded and spacious. We will be back next year.

Great location, all the amenities wee needed, facilities are clean and well-managed, and staff was super helpful and polite. Thanks for the great camping experience in the Badlands!

Great stay. Clean. And not KOAs fault. But everyone keeps walking through other peoples campground.

Super friendly, nice sites, free pancakes, free pool and mini golf, free wifi, super close to the national park - loved it!

I love this campground. It's so well managed and maintained. This is the first time we have used a tent here - typically we have a small cabin, but none were available. I had a few minor issues at my tent pad (for instance: someone in a big RV parked their car in my space) and each time I mentioned something to staff, someone was at my tent pad in minutes to get things resolved. Really impressive!

This was our first time staying at a KOA camp and we loved it! The staff and the people around were very friendly! We enjoyed the activities they had and liked how clean the grounds were. We are already talking about coming back sometime next year. This camp ground was easily a favorite. Thank you guys!

Had a great site. Campground was well kept with clean bathrooms and free pancakes for breakfast. We really appreciated the dish washing station, the cook shack and the $1 coffee! Staff is extremely friendly.

I found that the bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked

Great staff, good tent site, good food. Bathrooms could be a little better. Will come back in the future.

The KOA itself is maintained very well. Well stocked store with just about everything that you might have forgotten. Amenities were very nice. Gave it a 7 for recommending to family & friends because it is very far away from touristy type of things. Very nice if you want to walk the badlands and explore the immediate vicinity. But if this is your first time in the area may to be want closer in.

Not happy with the front desk at registration. Paid extra for a special request sight and it was not worth the money. Went to use the restroom ...no toilet paper. Literally packed up and left to another campground

We enjoyed the sound of the breeze in the cottonwoods and the howling coyotes.

It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful campgrounds I have ever been to. All of the staff were super nice. It was very clean. I'll definitely be back! Thank you

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.
