Staff is great, park is nice. Showers a bit dated and WiFi marginal. Understand improving that now. Mosquitoes are absolutely terrible. Too much recent rain in area. Great location for Badlands NP. 7/20/2019

The owner and her staff were fantastic. All I had to do is just mention something that I needed or wanted and they would provide it. Not everything came with a cost but everything came with a smile. The tent sites are comfortable and level. 7/20/2019

Site was large enough. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Due to the large amount of rain in the past 2 months there was a excessive amount of mosquitoes which is not the parks fault. 7/19/2019

Enjoyed the shade on the hot humid days. The pool was refreshing. The shower rooms clean. The option to order food was a plus! 7/18/2019

Overall it was a nice place. People were kind and polite and helpful. This campground is on the White River and is TEEMING with mosquitoes. Literally, if you're outside all the blood will be sucked from your body... 7/16/2019

Nice campground. Laundry very clean No cell service Wifi very very limited Tons of mosquitoes 7/16/2019

No handicap showers but hear that they are working on fixing that. That would make this KOA a very nice place to stay for me to stay at again. We have stayed there 3x now. 7/16/2019

Very nice campground. The trees are awesome and beautiful.....and the employees are really nice. 7/16/2019

Nice KOA 7/15/2019

Great location! Our family enjoyed the friendly staff, loved the food options offered, clean bathrooms and cabin. Our second stay at this campground and we were very pleased. 7/14/2019

We had a "Deluxe Cabin" and it was very nice. Clean, good TV, swinging bench on the front porch, large parking space. The only downsides were that the wifi didn't really work for us, and the cabin was costly. Still, we had a nice stay in a very nice cabin. 7/14/2019

Beautiful shady park Great dog park Pleasant staff 7/14/2019

8 Tips and Tricks for Avoiding Summer Crowds at National Parks
