        Across the street from wall drug

        It’s a nice place heading east or west to land for the night. We’ve stayed at sleepy hollow before and find it and the proximity to wall drug a fun landing stop for the night on our trek across SD. Dinner, ice cream and splash pad fun at wall drug is the perfect end to a day on the road for our family.

        A Place to Stay

        The campground is fine. FHU with cable. $65 might be steep but,....

        You can walk to Wall Drug Store if you are so inclined.

        Plenty of space to walk the dogs.

        8 miles from Badlands National Park entrance.

        COMPLAINT - not the parks fault but....they were/are doing construction on the railroad crossing that prevents you from following your navigation guide. The detour signs are terrible or non-existent. We drove down a street with cars parked on both sides, and found ourselves at road closed even thought we could see the park. We had to call and ask how to get into the park.

        Nice campground

        Close to NP. Level sites. Hookups are a little wonky. Some sites they are on the wrong side. Gravel sites and roads. Nice staff. Would stay here again.

        Bad first impression

        We arrived 1 hr 20 mins before check to a park that was 25% full and were told by a flustered front desk person we would have to go wait somewhere…they “weren’t ready yet”. This camp is in the middle of farmland so we had to tow ourselves into the National Park and wrangle parking in the visitors center which is exactly why we paid $100/night to avoid. When we returned thank goodness Denise was at the front desk and she was great. The next day we saw 2 different rv’s being escorted to their sites at the exact time we were trying to check in…hmmm. Close enough to the park but $100/night is steep for the area!!

        Excellent motel

        We were visiting the badlands and decided to stay at a place close by and this place was perfect! This is no taz Mahal, but considering this is the wild west, the room has everything, all other hotels have. We know, we've been all over. Big room, good bed, good bathroom. Good air conditioning. Good fridge. Good restaurant, wagon wheel down the road. Excellent food,service,and atmosphere. If you're not picky, elite people, this is a great place!

        Great Stay in the Badlands

        We had a great stay here while visiting the National Park - literally 2 minutes outside the entrance. The view from our camper was amazing. The hosts were very friendly and having the store was convenient. Bathrooms were newer and very clean.

        Great, conveniently located campground

        This is a great campground just a mile outside of Badlands National Park. I stayed for a week and really enjoyed it. The campground has full hookups and a 24 hour laundry room. It was always quiet and the folks running it were extremely nice and accommodating.

        MOSQUITO CENTRAL

        I want to say this isn’t the parks fault, but the absolute infestation of mosquitos at our site was unbearable. We couldnt be outside at all without being brutally attacked. We did have bug spray on! Opening the door for more than a second and they’d flood the RV. We spent most of our time killing them inside. Pro though is how close it is to wall drug! Had a fun day in town and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We also did not get attacked by mosquitos in town at all after leaving the campground. Spraying needs to be done.

        Nice place on way to YNP August 2023

        This park is clean, and just outside of Badlands National Park.  The pool was great per our Grand-kids.  Liked swimming and seeing Badlands at the same time. 

        The only problem the sites are short, but big rigs still parked here and intrude onto the road a bit.  I had to back out of my pull through site as the rig across from me had his motorcycle parked in front and was partially on the road. But I don't blame the park for this but the camper.

        Good location, lots of flies

        There isn’t a lot around the Badlands so this location was very convenient. Full hookup was nice and the laundry and store were convenient. The pool was small and cloudy but needed as it is so hot. Sites were close but not overly crowded for RVs. Our biggest complaint were the flies. We haven’t experienced anything like it in all the campgrounds we have been too. Made us concerned about sanitation. It was so bad we couldn’t eat or sit outside in the evening. Needs to be treated.

        Very nice campground!

        We were planning to stay at the campground inside the Badlands. Lucky for us they were full! This campground was great! Tent site near the road but hardly any traffic out here. The views of the park and the sky were amazing! Fire allowed here so that was a plus over the NP campground! There is a pool here but we didn’t use. Newer shower house with 4 individual bathrooms was nice. Plenty of hot water. RV spots look a little close and some of the inside spots looked like they were only rock as opposed to grass. They also have a breakfast menu which we decided to go with instead of trying to make breakfast after tearing down camp. Delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, we were glad we found it! Would definitely stay here again!

        Last minute stay

        We pulled in after a last minute decision to drive to the Badlands on a holiday weekend. They had one site left with electric hook ups. Lucky for us, our camper is small so we fit into the site. It was an end site with a view of the Badlands! . The guy who checked us in was extremely nice! The facilities were great and the location to the Badlands can’t be beat for being outside of the park. . Bonus: They had a swimming pool and also a small cafe that served breakfast. We did not eat, but glad the option was there.

        Much better than the nearby national park campground

        We stayed at the Badlands Interior Campground and Motel for three nights while visiting Badlands National Park.  We were supposed to stay in the national park campground, but they had overbooked and we were out of luck, as were most other campers with reservations that day.  Fortunately, the Badlands Interior campground is just two miles down the road from the national park campground. They offer full hookups for the same price as a lessor site at the park campground.  

        We found the Badlands Interior Campground to be enjoyable and convenient. We were in our class C while slowly making our way across the country. The campground is reasonably large. We had no problems getting a spot here. Sites are gravel for the RV, very level, and reasonably well maintained. All RV sites are pull through. Hookups are in good condition. You may have to run your water hose under your RV.  Each site has a grassy area with a table and fire pit. The grassy areas were a little narrow, causing your neighbor to be a little close.  Staff was very friendly and helpful. There are tent sites available.

        There was a pool that we observed being used daily. There is a meadow with hiking trails at the campground. There are showers, laundry and a campground store.  Breakfast is also available.

        The campground is conveniently located just two miles from the national park. It has great views of the national park. There is almost no noise other than your neighbors.

        We had 4 bar LTE with Verizon. Our hotspot performed very well. The wifi offered at the campground is the best we have encountered.  My wife was able to play her xbox games in the evening.

        We found this to be a great place to stay.  We will stay again when traveling this way.

        The campground was great and super close to the Badlands park entrance. The owners were very nice and helpful. Great hookups for our RV-on a nice level ground, picnic table for eating outdoors, and best of all dog friendly! The bathrooms and showers were clean and close by. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but I’m sure it would be great on a warm day. The views are amazing from the campground! Love that it is military friendly and got an added discount.

        Nice

        We stayed in a tent for 4 nights, clean bathrooms / showers. Owner was very nice and wonderful to talk to. View was amazing. Camp ground was quite and well maintained. They also have hotel rooms… so our friend ended up with food poisoning and she was able to go book a room. Pool was lots of fun for the kids, very clean. Laundry was easy to access. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

        AWESOME

        The view of the badlands was everything for me. The staff was friendly and helpful. The site was large enough for me and my family of 4, the site was level for our tent. There is nothing negative that I can say about this place I loved every minute of it that I was there. I would recommend it to anyone.

        Right in Wall Drug

        Awesome pull through full hookup sites. Small shop in office. Laundry and showers. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Two minute walk to Wall Drug which also hosts a grocery store, gas station and Ace Hardware. Fenced in dog park was a major bonus.

        Not popular, not by choice

        This isn’t a very busy campground. It’s far south of Badlands NP and most people stay North in Wall or out near Rapid City.

        We’re not sure about boondocking in the regular parking lot since the casino has their own campground here. There’s not much shade but it’s right on the water which delivers nice views.

        All sites are electric only but there is a dump station where you can dump and fill.
