Tent Reviews

This was the worst campground I’d ever been to. The sites are right on top each other. No privacy. Not at all what is advertised on the website. Pool was broken. Staff was very unfriendly and seemed clueless.

It is only 8 minutes away from the Ben Reifel Badlands Visitor Center. It has many trees to help with shade and was a nice place to tent. I do wish there were more bathroom stalls near the tent area.

Wonderful place to stay, very friendly neighbors, super close to the Badlands, lots of trees which provide shade (can't find that at other nearby campsites!), and being able to have a fire was a big plus. Wish there were more bathrooms and that they were a little cleaner, but that being said, I was happy to have them at all at a campsite!

One shower was broken for the tent sites, longer wait times and no signage. Could use a good clean as well. Bottled water other than Dasani is necessary. Otherwise, clean sites and friendly staff.

WE will check out that broken shower. Thank you.

Friendly and helpful staff, great area, everything we needed was there. If I had to, I’d stay at KOA again, great place.

Good location, very close to the Badlands. Quiet and shady. Pool wasn't open, despite email before trip saying it'd be open on Memorial day. The campsite is near the river, but the river is not accessible, which is a bit misleading.

Well situated camp sites. Nice amenities. Adjacent to the National Park.

Check in was quick and easy. The only comment I have is during early season stays, the possibility of heat in the shower. When it’s in the 30’s/low 40’s taking a warm shower and then drying off in a cold room is not super inviting.

We had a wonderful two-night stayover at this KOA campground in the South Dakota Badlands during the second week of October. The site, facilities, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the host who greeted us upon our arrival. The tent site was spacious and clean, and there was ample information given to us about the various amenities and services available on site.

First stayed here in 1983. It's still great!

Friendly staff, we had plenty of space for our ten man tent, and a large screen tent. Restroom was a close walk and the showers were clean- which is a big deal for me! Wood was pricey in my opinion for small, fast burning bundles. The views were beautiful! Would love to stay again and try one of the small cabins.

Gracious Hosts, safe and clean and refreshingly shaded! It was quiet and I could really relax! Just minutes to Badlands NP.. Will definitely return on my next trip.

Excellent facilities and sites, with shade, which is appreciated in the Badlands! Very beautiful location right near the National Park entrance. The campground host was helpful and welcoming.

The facilities were old and not cleaned regularly. Do not expect to use the WiFi in the tent area. The deer and coyotes roamed along the river banks frequently. The location was convenient to the Badlands.

Shower fixture in women’s bathroom was very lose and almost falling off. The hot water temp was also too high for safety.

Hospitality from the owner was great! There is a lot of room for everyone. We have been there with a small tent. It is silence in in the night and not to much camping lights. We had a very good stay for two Nigers.

We spent 2 nights in a tent at badlands koa. We love the facilities! Very clean and the tent sites are beautiful! The bathrooms are convenient for the tent campers as well. Great relaxing campground after a day hiking the badlands or visiting Wall drug or the missile site. Great and helpful host! We love this campground!

People are very nice but the campground itself is rundown.

We stayed here a few years back and it was nice.Now it seemed neglected. A facet broken off in the ladies restroom. The shower in the tent area had the water fixture nearly falling off the wall. You couldn't control the water temp, either cold or scalding hot. Couldnt use shower, for fear I'd get burnt. Only 2 restrooms for tent area, always had to wait. We won't return.

A beautiful location but subpar service! I’m not one to write many reviews but was definitely dissatisfied with my stay at Badlands KOA. Bathrooms were a mess and none of them had toilet paper. When I mentioned to one of the employees they promised to take care of it, but it never happened. And when I went to shower, the handle fell off and I had to wait to switch bathrooms and find one that wor

A massive rain hail windstorm came through right at dusk, the campground flooded. This happened around 7:30. Everything we had was soaked, tents were ruined. I went up to the office at 8:20, asked if we could rent a couple of the open cabins by us and was told sorry, he had already counted the money and locked everything up. Lost revenue for you all, and a sour taste left in my groups mouths.

The staff were very friendly, the bathrooms were very clean, and we had a wonderful time!

In on vacation from 1500 miles away and we're sooooo happy with the accommodations. The staff was extremely friendly and informative. The campground itself were well maintained and the bathrooms were clean at all times. I highly recommend this location for your stay in the Badlands

Great campground! We stayed for about a week and enjoyed what the campground had to offer. We stayed in tent village and my only complaint was the flies! They were everywhere! We couldn't eat at our campground because of how many there were all the time. There wasn't much that could be done unfortunately, it was a known issue. The campers next to us decide to leave early because of it.

We stayed in tent site 125. The site was beautiful! There’s a lot of space between sites with nice shade trees and away from the road. Restrooms were not very clean. Vents in restrooms needed to be cleaned and toilets difficult to flush. Dish washing station at restrooms was nice! Overall feel of the park was very pleasant, quiet, and close to The Badlands NP entrance. Would stay again!

Great location of KOA. Nice tent spot. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restroom / shower facilities good but not always stocked.

It was great! Bathrooms and showers could be cleaner and hot water turned down but it was great stay!

Had a wonderful night at this koa. The pool was terrific. I enjoyed dinner from the small cafe. The employees were polite and helpful.

My tent site did not have any grass available for tent pitching. site #120. Other nearby and empty did have grassy areas which would have suited me better. I did come in late. I didn't ask to switch. Everything else was fine.

Very friendly staff, but the facilities need some more cleaning!

Three tents on one site with parking for our trucks and a trailer.

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

We rented a basic camping cabin for 2 nights. Only issue the mattresses on the beds could be a bit thicker, otherwise the campfire ring and porch swing were great, water tap right by our cabin. Store had nice selection. Wings were very good and kids liked the Hunt Bros pizza.
