This remote and beautiful KOA is just 5 miles from Badlands National Park. The rugged beauty of the Badlands includes a rich fossil bed and the nation's largest protected mixed-grass prairie, where you will find bison, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, mule deer and prairie dogs. Some of the darkest skies in North America await stargazers, and opportunities for photography and hiking abound. The campground is in a quiet rural setting with hundreds of large shade trees beside the White River.

It was nice to have space availability on short notice and a space to bring our dog.

Very inviting the only problem we had was another camper was rude said he owned the property and that our dogs didn’t have the right to bark at him. Seems you always have one that tries to mess up your weekend. While another camper brought us a bundle of firewood. Very accommodating and would definitely stay again. Really convenient with water and sewer hook ups!
