Great location for a visit to the badlands. Very quiet. Well maintained 9/20/2020

Great location- very close to the National Park. Nice space we did not feel crowded and very large nicely laid out campground. Only negative was that our water had a very strong, bad taste. 9/20/2020

We received last 30 amp site due to cancellation. Clean, well run, and organized 9/20/2020

We enjoyed it there even though the sites were very near each other and it was rather noisy. The camp store staff was very friendly and helpful. The store was well arranged and had useful as well as interesting items to buy. The laundry was spacious enough... 9/19/2020

Very enjoyable! Liked that the staff drove around in the evening to check on things and would stop and chit-chat. 9/19/2020

It was an awesome stay!! The staff was super friendly and very helpful! I would definitely recommend this campground especially if you're visiting the Badlands NP. 9/18/2020

During our time in the Badlsnds it was extremely hot so we appreciated the trees in this park. The staff were very friendly, the outside guys very accommodating and made sure you were situated in the site before they carried on with their work. Great stay. 9/18/2020

Excellent bathroom Excellent guide to our site Good location. Price a little high Nice park overall Propane expensive $3.75 Need more mask wearing staff Staff not knowledgeable about area. Not silly to share best sunrise/sunset location 9/18/2020

Nice campground, escorted to campsite, I like the uniform, clean laundromat, grounds well maintained.. Convenient to the Badlands. 9/17/2020

I love this campground. We have been here two times. However there are a couple of sites that need to be fixed like the picnic tables are messed up. The night before we left we let smelling a gas, or what we thought was propane... 9/17/2020

Nice clean friendly and enjoyed our site stay nice scenery 9/17/2020

The park is in very good shape and was enjoyable because it has plenty of trees rather than full sun. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they shuttled you to your site and help you get setup. All of the in park services worked fine... 9/16/2020

We enjoyed our time with you, very clean shower/bathrooms, 9/16/2020

We stayed in one of your teepees, it was not at all what we were expecting. It is listed as having 3 BEDS (2 twin and a futon) - the 2 twin "beds" were actually just crappy pieces of foam to lay on the ground. I feel that you should change your description on your site... 9/16/2020
