Best Equestrian Camping near Badlands National Park

Close and convenient spot for easy access to Badlands National Park.

We had a FHU site for our travel trailer. The sites are level, although a bit close to each other. There is some shade which was welcome! We had great views of the Badlands National Park since this campground is located just outside the park. Bathrooms are a bit dated, but adequate.

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.

You want hookups close to Badlands National Park? This is your place, and the price is good too. If you want to whine about amenities and cable TV, keep driving into the night.

Electricity and water is shared so some sites have water and electric on the “other” side (passenger side), but I was able to reach without any extensions. The kids and I loved jumping in the above-ground pool,which was nice and cool on a hot day.

This is a managed Badlands National Park campground.  It is FREE first come first serve and rustic. There is no water available so come prepared. The campground and surrounding area are idyllic rolling hills spotted with juniper trees with crags of the badlands as a backdrop.  There are often buffalo roaming about and plenty of prairie dogs.  There are trash receptacles and clean pit toilets.  Some of the sites have wind / sun blocks at the picnic tables.

A crowded, but nice, site right in Badlands National Park! A great scenic drive in on awesome and well maintained gravel roads. Large loop site with tons of space for tents and parking. Definitely noisy, but well worth being inside the park. Overall well maintained bathrooms, tons of little trails, and a creek nearby. Stunning sunset views and distant views of Badland choss formations! One thing to mention—there is a massive prairie dog CIVILIZATION living in the campsite, so be prepared for squeaky little neighbors.

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.

Sage Creek is a primitive campground located in the interior of The Badlands National Park. The campsites are first come first serve and are free to use. However there are only two pit toilets for the entire camp and no water is available so bring your own is a must. Buffalo continually frequent the campground so storing food away a night is a must. There are also limited trails in the badlands but sage creek campground is a great starting point for backcountry trips but following sage creek into the interior.
