Campground Reviews

Nice clean facility. Friendly staff. Close to the Badlands National Park

Great park! The facilities & grounds are well maintained and in excellent condition. The hosts were very friendly and helpful guiding us to our site and insuring we were set up without any issues or questions. The hosts were diligent in maintaining the parks/sites in great shape. The park exceeded my expectations in both service & conditions. Highly recommend! Would stay again without hesitation.

The staff was pleasant but the smell of the sewer ponds was too much. We would not stay there again for that reason.

We are installing new sewer lines, please give us a second chance.

All the amenities were great but the little pod we stayed in was not so great. You might as well sleep on the deck outside cause it’s hard as a rock and the a/c above your bed was like a train passing by. Loud.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am so sorry you did not enjoy our little pod. We will pass along your issues to management.

Location was superb, the flies were a bit much. Owner fogged the day we left so I imagine it was just a bad time of year. All facilities were top notch!!

Great place to stay but the flies are terrible. Probably not much can be done about that. Pancakes are very good.

We were close to Badlands which was great. We also visited Wall. Pool was cool but clean. Used the dog park. Enjoyed the pancake breakfast and dinner one night. This was a good campground.

People super nice. Outrageous flies and slight sewer smell to the campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the review, we are working on the sewer issue.

Friendly staff could use a few more bathrooms and the portable toilets wouldn’t be bad if they were cleaned and had some kind of air freshener

Thank you for your review. We have passed along the issues to our staff.

It was OK. Pool was nice, albeit very small. So, so many flies. We washed our picnic table with soap and water because there were hundreds swarming it. A man was throwing a rock on a field mouse when we arrived. The bathrooms had dead roaches everywhere. SInk outside the bathroom that was filled with water and floating food, disgusting. No lights outside bath house. Wouldn't stay again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Safe travels.

We travel across the country often and everyone in our party agreed that it was the worse experience that we have ever had. They had a greyhound bus full of young adults that were out of control. They were in our campsite running between the picnic table and our tent, bumping into the tent, and that went on until late into the night. They were in the bathrooms looking under the stalls and more.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize, and the group has been banned from this park. Maybe next time something is not as you would like, say something a the time so we have a chance to fix the issue.

We love KOA's and this one was no exception. The only thing that kept it from being a perfect score is the flies. We had do many flies at our dite we couldn't enjoy sitting outside. We didn't have any open food or garbage out either. We had to sit in our trailer when there or be away from it. Ot was well shaded & maintained. Staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the pool was great!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your comments. Flys are a constant battle. We fog every other day for them.
Jul 21, 2023
I really wanted to like is place. It smelled like sewer both days we were there. I mentioned it to the staff and was told that others had noticed it also. It was bad enough that we had to cover our faces at night while sleeping to try and limit the smell. We were not offered a chance to move. Unfortunately, this was so bad that it cannot be overlooked. I will also be leaving more reviews online.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your comments. We are working on correcting the issue.

Strong smell of sewage everywhere. They warned the night before by text they were fogging for bugs at 6 am, although cell service was not good. The tent campers had to take shelter in their cars to escape the fumes. They sprayed the the tables in the shelter where people eat, yum. There was brown scum on the floor in the women's shower. Staff were friendly. Pool was clean. Sites ok and flat.

One night was all we had. It was as wonderful as I remember from taking my little kids there 25 years ago.

We were only at the Badlands KOA for one night, which was really nice. The bathrooms were VERY clean and the staff were super friendly. We had a site that backed up to the white river. There were a TON of flies and mosquitoes - like to the point where it was impossible to be outside of your camper, but the campground was on it and fogged the following day. We left that day but I am sure it helped.

Awesome, we appreciate your review. Have a great travel day!

Top-notch in every way. Nice surroundings, helpful, friendly staff, and we lost the key to one of the cabins and they didn’t even charge us for us for losing it.

Thanks for the review! Have a great travel day.

Danny went above and beyond to solve my propane issue. I can't thank him enough.

We were only there one night. Campsite was perfect, nice trees were a relief from the heat, more amenities than a camper would ever need.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Great to hear you found our "oasis" in the Badlands! Happy travels.

While I would give a higher rating to some of the other campsites in the park, we stayed on #54, and it was terrible. It was only about 75’ from the parks oxidation (sewage) pond. We smelled sewage the whole time. They offer Wi-Fi, but with minimal bandwidth, you can’t do anything with it. Cable tv didn’t work on my site and others, they did nothing about it. I will never stay there again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am sorry for the unpleasantness you experienced.
Jul 18, 2023
Very nice park with nice amenities. I would stay again.

Phenomenal staff and facility. The grounds were exceptionally clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful, pointing to a great management here. The pancakes & optional breakfast were served in a nice indoor patio. The proximity to the Badlands is great, there are lots of historical areas to visit here.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad to hear you had a great experience. Have an awesome day.

We stayed in a deluxe tent site but it was infested with black flies! It was not worth the sink. Pool was nice but I don't think the filter was working properly. Also, they need more shade at the pool for ppl not going in. Bathrooms were immaculate. Laundry was nice and new and open 24/7. Staff was very friendly.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. We let our staff know.

Jane and her staff were the most wonderful people. They were very attentive to all of our needs. The campgrounds were clean and well maintained as were all of the facilities. I would highly recommend this KOA campground.

I was pleased to find this campground. The tent site selected was just a short walk to the bathrooms and showers. The trash bin was close and there was access to fill up drinking water throughout the campground. It has a dog wash/cool off station right next to a well maintained dog park.

We had a travel trailer, sites were nice, level and easy to get into. Quiet and peaceful setting although close enough to the National park entrance and the Loop road with hikes and overlooks. Heard cow moos in the distance at night. Host were friendly, and knowledgeable. clean, well kept and actually green. Located next to the white river. Would defiinetly stay here again if visiting the Badlands.
