"Stayed one night in a converted Sprinter while traveling through South Dakota, we needed a place with showers.
The showers and restrooms were pay to use, with a single curtain as privacy."
"Good proximity to visitors center, a cafe, store, amphitheater and many drivable views. Also quick 2 miles out of the park to the small town of Interior for gas, etc."
$24 - $174 / night
"We liked: tent sites on the outskirts, trail / dog-hiking area, proximity to Badlands. Showers and price were ok. To earn 5 stars it needs more seclusion and trees for tent sites."
"We stayed at the Badlands Interior Campground and Motel for three nights while visiting Badlands National Park. "
"We slept here for four nights when we were driving through the Badlands and travelling west to Crazy Horse. Weirdly enough, in the office we met someone from a town over from us in Pennsylvania."
"Although the camp ground is outside the park, the views from the areas surrounding the campground are great."
"I camped on the ridge in the South Dakota grasslands. I was able to look out my front door and see the badlands or or see the grasslands out my rear window."
"Wish I had known about it before we made reservations to camp in interior. Definitely will be staying there next time we go through SD."
"Definitely pay your park entrance fee! BUT it’s true - this spot is completely free. Lots of people dig this spot. Doesn’t feel too crowded though."
"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."
"Arrived past dark, could determine where to go so parked along roadside. In AM found The Wall well populated with overnight campers. We can see why!"
"The winds can get really high so don’t park too close to the edge. This was a great location for visiting Badlands National Park and going to Wall Drug."
"Super close to the park and Interior, SD. We were able to find a secluded place near the entry to the front gate and we were not disturbed by OHVs entering the Baja area in the morning."
"Large enough to find a spot away from anyone. There probably is ATV here sometimes, but none while we were here."
"I was looking for a campground near the Badlands but it was a rainy summer and the roads to the rustic campsites were questionable for my small car."
"Close to Badlands National Park. Just 8 miles to beautiful sunsets. Walking distance to town, Wall Drug, and restaurants. Campground is as others have stated; a bit tired. Pool is still closed."
"Dry camped at Buffalo Gap National Grassland just south of Wall South Dakota off of 240. Plenty of space with flat ground for tent or RV. Spectacular view and right by I90 for easy access."
"Driving in we didn't think we would get a spot because there were already so many campers, but there were still so many spots left. It is a huge campsite!"
$25 - $40 / night
"Very close to the world's largest prairie dog!"
RangerRather than park on the road which was very level, I pulled into the unoccupied equestrian area. That evening when it began to sprinkle the dirt turned into thick sticky clay which clung to my shoes and made walking difficult. The next day I move to a standard site. There are 2 outhouses and trash disposal available.
While this wind is relentless, making cooking outdoors difficult, there are trails which offer a reprieve from the gusts.
TravelerIt,s a x dirt bike place.. I had my mountain bike..so that was a plus , near sunset it was just me .. mostly dirt.. so if a rain came be a mess.. does have compost type privy.. did not use it.. really kinda rough. Wind blew .. coyote howling at night .. moo cows too.. it was free .. 17. Miles out of Rapid city SD.. off dirt gravel road..
GuideThe views are fantastic. We were there mid May and spots were plentiful. The acces road can be a bit choppy but was great overall. If you need water there is a spigot just past the park entrance.
ScoutGreat site, especially for free. Each of the times I have stayed here, at least one tent has either blown away or was flattened by wind.
Also, there is a prairie dog colony in the campground, so there is potential for the plague.
TravelerGood location out western part of park. Very quiet and simple enough to keep the high maintenance folks away.
GuideBeautiful BLM 14 day camping just outside Badlands National Park. I saw a herd of bison coming in. Good Verizon cell phone signal.
ScoutVery nice to Des pursed camping. There are no facilities but the views make up for it.
ScoutThe campground provided us a place to sleep, but the accommodations were minimal. Zero privacy with WiFi that was spotty, left us using our hotspot via ATT. It was cold when we were there, and the restrooms were not heated.
TravelerGreat pull-up spot. You can see the sunset from a short hike up the hills off the campground. You’re surrounded on all sides by the hills and cliffs. 100% would return here
