I am very pleased with this Campground . As I drove through the Badlands today and saw people setting up their tents in the totally exposed Park campgrounds I was sad for them . The KOA has great shade at every tent site . The sites are spacious and there were was no overcrowding . I opted to rent one of the small Rustic cabins with AC ( no bathroom or kitchen ) in order to give my elderly dog a respite from the scorching afternoon heat . The little camping cabin is clean and comfortable, there is a small front porch with a swing . Outside there is a picnic table and fire ring . We walked through the campground this evening and there was a cool gentle breeze . Most of the tent sites were unoccupied while I believe absolutely every RV site was occupied . Definitely worth checking out this campsite and hands down better choice than the exposed unshaded sites with in the Badlands .
RangerWe stayed in one of the cabins for a couple nights. The bed was comfy and the cabin was clean. I had never stayed in a KOA before and didn't know what to expect, but was overall a great experience. My only complaint is about the showers, they could use a deep clean.
RangerThis KOA is located near the Badlands and provides excellent cabins and facilities. They also have options such as breakfast, dinner, pool, and a camp store!
RangerPull through RV spots, tent spots, cabins, and a yurt. High quality facilities with a shower house and bathroom. Mini golf, camp store, dog park, and pool available. 10 min drive from the park!

free showers, on site laundry for $1.25 wash and same to dry, swimming pool, little kids playground. we stayed in a cabin, primitive, but super clean and comfy. nice beds, you provide linens.
RangerWe spent a few nights at the Badlands/ White River KOA as our home base while we explored Badlands National Park area. The KOA had all the standard KOA amenities, but they were a little worn and could use some TLC. We stayed in a cabin which backed up to the White River, and there were game trails behind the cabin. We collected a rainbow of rocks and small agates from the driveway gravel and spent a great morning watching the nesting cliff swallows under the bridge scoop mud for nests and feed their young. The sites were well shaded, which is great in such a hot, open area. The nearby National Park campgrounds I drove through were not so nice.
Enjoy exploring the Badlands! Wounded Knee, Minute Men National Historic site, Buffalo National Grasslands (agate hunting for you rockhounds), and a cool sod Homestead are all nearby.
RangerThis campground has many shady sites, a pool, laundry, full hook ups, nice showers, and is in the perfect location for visiting the badlands. Cute camp office/store with many necessities to buy. Level gravel sites. Tent and cabin sites available as well. I’m disappointed because I made my reservations 9 months in advance and my only request was a shady site, which we didn’t get. We baked in the sun in 105 degree heat. Recommend calling to confirm your preferences in advance if it really matters to you.
TravelerNice campground with many amenities. We stayed in a camper cabin with air conditioning knowing it would be warm when we were there. They serve breakfast and dinner which were both very good! The staff were all awesome!!! The biggest problem is the campground is situated between 2 rivers so the mosquitoes were unbearable. We cut our stay a day short because we couldn’t even sit outside and enjoy a fire after a long day of hiking without being eaten alive. I’m sure this is a much better experience when the mosquitoes aren’t as bad!

In my opinion the overall rating of 4 is a bit generous. The sites are extremely small and dense, with less than 10 feet of grass separating the sites. There is no privacy. The property is well maintained but it is old and a bit rundown. The electric and water hookups are shared between two sites. The cabins are scary. The bathrooms grade C. It is conveniently located at the southern end of the 240 Badlands loop with great access to the lookouts and trails in the Badlands. It’s a five minute drive to one of the visitor centers of Badlands NP.
LegendBadlands Interior Campground is located one mile south of Badlands National Park, and includes plenty of clean, level RV and tent sites, as well as teepees, camper cabins, and a motel. The owners were a delight to talk to, which we did every morning, and very knowledgeable about the area.
The RV sites include both electric and full hook-up, which is a step above the sites available inside the national park. There are community bathrooms that are small and feel a bit older, and only two showers are located in each. On a busy summer day, those could feel quite crowded. The playground is small and dated, but the unique merry-go-round (standing version) captivated our sons for a few hours.
The sites are not very shaded, especially the tent sites. This was not a concern for us since we visited in early spring, but a mid-summer day in the 100’s might be a bit unbearable. But in lieu of the trees, visitors get to see awesome views of the Badlands from almost every site! There are picnic tables at every campsite, some have sun overhangs, which would be outstanding to have in the summer. Each site also boasts an above-ground campfire ring, which is small, but a welcome feature as the campgrounds inside the park do not allow open fires (fire dangers here stay high most of the year).
The owners keep the facility in great shape, keeping the grass short to avoid encounters with rattle snakes, and the garbage disposal areas free from larger critters. When we arrived the day before their official 2017 opening, the grounds were in great shape and they appeared ready to roll and welcome travelers at any time.
LegendPros: The location is perfect for visiting the Badlands! We really liked that there was lots of trees, even though our site didn't have a big one. The campground was large with lots of amenities and activities. They had a huge variety of different style campsites, cabins and teepees!
Cons: This place was PACKED! I get it, its right outside of a National Park, it's summertime and families are on vacation. I just never understand why campsites are right on top of each other! I also don't like that I can't pick my own site. When we showed up, we were escorted to the site we were assigned. Our site backed up to the mini golf course and our campsite shared a power box with our neighbors. The problem was that the power box was on the wrong site of the camper and it was at the front of the campsite instead of the back. We had to reposition the camper so that we could stretch the cord to reach the power box. Also, the fire pit and table was on the wrong site. I sucked it up and just felt grateful that we were vacationing in the Badlands!
RangerVery friendly spot. A little ways away from the main viewing of the Bad lands NP but great place to get away from the busy park.
GuideWe 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.
TravelerWe 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. Super weird but friendly group! The KOA was good. One night was so windy that I thought our tent was going to fly away with us In It. You could hear coyotes and other animals out in the hills and the river nearby. it was very peaceful. I do wish they had a different spot for tent campers and vehicle campers because we didn’t have electrical capacity because we were surrounded by RVs. It would have been nice to charge our phones and my Canon battery since the Badlands are so beautiful. What did rock was how close we were to one of two restaurants in Interior. they had great coffee and good breakfast! we went every morning.
GuideOne of my favorite national parks. Has so much to offer and beautiful viewpoints throughout. Easy hiking and mildly busy during the summer!
TravelerBe prepared for any type of weather if you go before May. We got a windstorm, rainstorm, and snowstorm all in a 24 hour period. It was worth every minute though. It is at the start of the badlands and in the morning the sun rises and opens up the most spectacular views! At night the stars are stunning to look at (when it’s clear). We woke up one morning just before sunrise and drove to one of the higher parts of camp to watch the sunrise, simply amazing! Early morning was also the best time to see wildlife too! I had heard it wasn’t uncommon for campers to wake up with bison or deer lumbering around their tents, we didn’t see that but it sounds like a great experience. Beware of snakes! Lots of places for them to hide. The facilities at the campground were good, just bathrooms hat we could find.
TravelerGreat views of park, far enough away from your neighbor. Each site had a bench and a cover, the tents sat in a grass area, not gravel or sand. Great price for the night. Large enough to fit 4 tents.
GuideThis is a minimalist campground. Know that coming in. Not a lot of trees but nice bathrooms and shower houses. Went over mothers day weekend and it was raining. The plan was to backpack but I opted for the campground not knowing what Mother Nature was going to throw at me. Opted to use my hamock to stay off the wet ground. Turned the picnic shelter into a covered hammock set up. Great little restaurant where I treated myself to a mother’s day Indian taco and bottle of adventurer wine!
TravelerThe campground was convenient for the short amount of time we had to explore. Although, camp sites lacked shade and were closer than we would have liked. Grounds were neat and tidy but showers could be cleaner and updated. All in all, not bad.
GuideA pretty minimal campground but they had the essentials. I loved that it was close to hiking trails and the views were amazing.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutCcampground with basic amenities (small pool, clean showerhouse) and attached motel for those who prefer to stay indoors. Storms can come up quickly in this part of the country and blow through unexpectedly so make sure your tent/camper is well secured!
GuideThe Tilson’s keep their campground and motel well maintained, have hookups for campers, and fire rings for campsites. Can purchase wood from them. Amazing view of the Badlands, and can walk into the park. beautiful pastures with horses surround. minutes from Highway 90.
Guidecamping in badlands is like camping on mars. No trees, hard ground- plan accordingly. This is actually the land of a small motel so it’s super basic. But there’s a little store and restaurant and bathrooms.
TravelerThis campground was great - it was fairly easy to get to (in an RAV4) and in the park which I liked a lot. They had rangers come and do some demonstrations which was fun. Only downsides were a lot of other campers and that morning heat.
RangerGreat amenities. Not officially inside the park but very very close. Great views and great staff
GuideNothing special about the campsites here (not very spread out and just off the main road), but they provide a good view of the badlands and it’s very close to the park itself.
Main problem was that, given the amount of storms that roll through in the summer, you’d hope the campgrounds were a little raised. I picked the highest spot I could and the tent still flooded a bit during a heavy storm that night. When I got up the next morning, other spots were in much worse condition, though. Basically ponds everywhere and the one couple a few sites down from me had to move in the middle of the night because the flooding got so bad. May have been a particularly bad storm, but the lady said that there are a lot of big storms that roll through at that time of year (mid August)
(Make sure your tent is durable in the wind and staked down really well because if a t-storm does roll through, the winds can exceed 50mph easily. It was a good test for my tent and I was lucky that it survived.)
The owner was really nice though and let me come back the next afternoon to shower after hiking in the Badlands all morning (despite not staying that night).
