Campground Reviews

Jun 14, 2025
The stay was great. But with the barking dogs next to my site was not good at all. They were on the left side across the road. That is very lousy and loud. Not good when your trying to relax and hearing that all the time.

Very nice campground and convenient located near the Badlands NP. Didn't have time to take advantage of all the amenities offered.

Very run down. Mini golf carpet was torn and in bad shape. Pool was closed. Bathrooms were dirty all the time. Stayed in tent village which has potential. First day I told the grounds crew and office about mouse droppings in the “kitchen” area. They said someone would clean it up. Two days never happened. Watched 3 cleaners clean one cabin. 2 cleaned 1 sat on a swing.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry that our team fell short in addressing your issues. I will clarify that the housekeeping team you saw take care of cabins and the grounds crew is responsible for your tenet site. The one in the swing is a special needs who came to work with her family.

Nice campsite. However, there was no toilet paper in the tent campground area multiple days. The mini golf area needs a complete overhaul. Either fix it up or take it off the website as an offering. We were excited to play this but were disappointed. The burger shack was a great plus. An idea is to have the roads oiled as the dust was bad.

Putt putt greens were delapitated, little to no items in the freezer/frig section, badminton net had holes and was dropping, and the management/maintenance personnel for the pool had not kept up with necessary chemicals/ cleanliness of it. It was closed. The pool was the reason for our booking here���.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

A filter issue caused our pool to close. Being literally in the middle of nowhere does make amenities create service issues. Unfortunately, things like this happen infrequently.

Staff was super friendly, bathroom/showers were clean. Cabin air conditioning was subpar very loud unit & unable to chill effectively. Both pool & mini golf could use some TLC. They are in need of some maintenance.

Had a great stay. The personnel working there were outstanding and very friendly. The campground had may things to do while you are there. It was our first time using a KOA and we are hooked. The only negative to mention would be the pool water looked murky but I think that’s from the wind and the dust. All in all it was a great time. The bad lands welcome center is only 10 minutes away.

Thank you for staying with us! The pool clarity is a real challenge right now with the cottonwoods all "snowing". We appreciate you.

Nice and clean campground for a quick layover. Super close to the badlands so we go to knock that out as well before traveling again. Next time we will have to stay longer!

We enjoyed our stay at the Badlands/White River KOA. The staff was friendly and the shady site was level. I was surprised that a Holiday KOA in an area of limited cell coverage that the wifi was not more robust and that cable TV was not offered as an amenity.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. Being literally in the middle of nowhere does make amenities more challenging then it would in an urban area. We do have multiple lines of fiber internet and multiple Wi-Fi channels.

Location and setup are great. Our third time staying here. Issues: only two bathroom/shower stalls for a large number of tent sites. Almost always needed to wait in line. Main complaint was one of the staff who had a permanent site had his dogs out in a penned area and they barked all day long! We asked him to take care of it and he said "he would talk to them". Dogs will be dogs, not good.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry your stay wasn’t more enjoyable. We do have 2 other shower houses on property for your use. We understand the issue with the dogs and took care out it as fast as was legally possible for us to do so.

Beautiful campground with mature trees and nice space between sites. But barking dogs left in pen near us, owners away. We contacted mgt, they seemed to get in touch with the dog owners because by day 2 and 3 of our visit, much improved. We appreciate the attention to that matter. Dog rules say adult must be present and disruptive dogs not tolerated so glad it was finally enforced.

Dog park is dirty!!!! On June 10 around 5:00 I ask if any bottled water, camp guy ( with cowboy hat white beard) said no water so I turned around to leave , the gal who was hanging on him said “ welcome” very snobby!!! I ask if she was being insulting, she said YES!!! Purple hair, many piercings, she needed 2 more one one each side of her lip with a lock!!! Was not impressed with the woke att

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Ma’am you were extremely rude to our front desk staff when you were informed that we were out of stock of bottled water. Another guest did not appreciate your rudeness and called you out for it. We also do not appreciate your attack on this guest’s physical appearance.

Loved the staff but this is the 1st KOA we stayed at that has no tv reception, video's to loan out or rent. On a rainy day can make it very boring.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We are literally in the middle of nowhere and there is not a TV station for miles. WE do offer Wi-Fi for people to stream. We have found over the years that most of our guests are out exploring even on rainy days and the demand and availability for DVDs is limit

Badlands KOA is one of the nicest KOAs we’ve stayed at! The camp is kept up very well - gravel roads in great shape, campsite pads are kept very level (staff routinely raked the gravel), and bathrooms have been updated, have great hot water and are kept clean. Everyone on staff are great too.

Very Nice campground. Great location for exploring the badlands. The deluxe cabin was perfect for our family, highly recommend. The included bed linens sealed the deal. A+

Unfortunately, our next door neighbor began making noises (hammer drill to retract stabilizers, loud outdoor conversations, etc.) way too early for our liking. Suggest the “quiet time” be extended to at least 8:00 am

Sorry to hear your morning was disturbed too early. We appreciate your reservation.

Great location about 6 miles from the Badlands visitor center. Internet was not bad when we stayed there which helped with very little cell service.

Thor was so friendly, the food was amazing, if you stay you have to try the bison burger and you're so close to badlands its worth it for sure! 10/10

Staff was wonderful but campground is very run down. Kids activities was the worst! One of the women’s bathrooms out of order had to walk to far end.

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your .One of our 4 women's rooms was closed for 24 hours due to an unforeseen problem. We do try and provide many free activities such as the pedal cars, playground and mini golf. We are sorry it did not meet with your satidfaction.

Location good for visiting the Badlands but seriously needs TLC. The value was not there, and the resort fee was insult to injury for everything in disrepair, putt-putt a joke etc. We did pay extra for a patio site, which we prefer, but didn't have gas grill as advertised. The pavers were also inundated with ant mounds that were overwhelming the area. Will not return and soured on KOA brand.

We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay. We wish you would have brought it up to us during your 4 night stay so we could have addressed your concerns while you were here.

We had a 3 night stay in our camper at this KOA while visiting the Badlands. The location was close to the national park and the scenic loop. The pool was out of service, the mini golf was under construction, and the bathrooms were not in good condition. One of the shower heads was hanging by a screw and we had to hold it in place while showering.

Great camping and access to the white river. The river had white sand bars along the campground during our visit.
