Welcome to the Oasis of the Badlands! This remote and beautiful KOA is just 4 miles from Badlands National Park.

The campground is in a quiet rural setting with hundreds of large shade trees beside the White River. Enjoy the pool, fun-bike rentals, mini golf and a huge pet park. Food from our Cook Shack includes buffalo burgers, pizza, breakfast burritos and wraps as well as pancakes, Indian tacos and more. Food is served Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.

Clean, quiet, lots to do and with a very kind & polite staff! 10/3/2019

A campground that includes a red fire hydrant for the dog park has obviously thought of everything! 10/2/2019

Still my favorite. Never had a problem or an issue at this campground. Great owners, great staff. Beautiful campground, peaceful and quiet. 10/1/2019

Very well kept RV park. Great Large dog park. Friendly staff. 9/30/2019

Very friendly. A hard working group. 9/30/2019

I stayed for 2 days while visiting the park & it was a great place to stay. It was right outside the park but you had to go thru the park to get there. That’s how close they are. 9/29/2019

One of the best! Meticulously maintained by the owners and continuing to add improvements like better WiFi. We loved our stay. Highly recommend!!! 9/28/2019

We stayed for a couple of days in a 40 ft 5th wheel! It was a great location to the Badlands. GPS doesnt always work but a heads up if you dont want to haul your rig through the Badlands (we are glad we didnt) take the longer route... 9/27/2019

Badlands/White River KOA is an EXCEPTIONAL campground! We enjoyed our two week stay so much that we booked for a full month next year! The hosts are friendly, the grounds immaculate, and the area offers a wide variety of things to see and do. 9/26/2019

Beautiful, peaceful campground. Nice store. Wide, level sites. Bathroom showers could use updating. Right by the river. Nice owners. Great picnic tables and fire pits. 9/26/2019

Exceptional staff and great outdoor living... 9/26/2019

This was our first stay. Even though it is off-season and some things like the pool and the restaurant are closed it is a great place. Well maintained, nice employees, lots of spaces and types of places. I will recommend to my friends.! 9/25/2019

Very... but they seemed a little overworked in closing the season out. 9/24/2019

Friendly staff; Nice campground. 9/24/2019

It was great.all the people were nice. And the scenery was beautiful. 9/23/2019
