    Badlands / White River KOA

    Nice , quiet , SHADED, not overcrowded

    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 .

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    Very nice!

    This campground was very nice!  It was quite larger than I expected and with it being next to the visitors center/entrance, I am glad they do not charge more!  Each site had a picnic table and most with a little shelter over it.  There are rest rooms and trash bins.  While there is barely any bushes/trees to separate you from neighbors, there is still some space but be prepared to hear the noises around you.  It's about a mile from the big parking lot with the established trails that Badlands NP has.  I had  bars of LTE via AT&T here.

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    View and Location Make this a Gem

    We stayed at the Cedar Pass Campground in Badlands National Park the first weekend in March 2016. The weather was unseasonably warm, and the tourists were few. Most of this campground is closed during the "off-season", so we pulled our RV into a pull-through (really, a shoulder) site in the group camp area. During our stay there was only one other person camping, and he camped with a tent. There are pit toilets there, and this time of year they were fairly clean and well-maintained. The sites in the group area are spread apart well. Each area has a covered picnic table. There are no fire pits or grills here, as the fire danger remains high most of the year. Plan to bring a gas or charcoal grill of your own for cooking if you don't use an RV. On occasion we were able to pick up the Wi-Fi from the Cedar Pass Lodge, which is located nearby, but don't plan on campsite internet. This is a rustic campground. That said, water is available at the entrance, as well as a dump station, In addition, electric hook-ups and flush toilets are available in the summer season. This is one of only two campgrounds in this national park. and the other, Sage Creek Campground, is on the far west end of the park, remote, and very rustic (and also FREE). This campground is located within walking distance of the Ben Reifel Visitor Center. Reservations open in March for the summer season, and we recommend making them, as this campground is almost always full in season. Or, visit like we did, in the off-season, which can be much more temperate for weather.

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    The setup is odd, otherwise nice

    The setup is really odd. There's just like little pull offs from the loops that you basically parallel park to the road. Otherwise, it's really beautiful scenery. We got a real nasty storm last night, I tried telling people they should wait to set up their tents, but they apparently knew better. Had to help them retrieve their tents after getting blown across the park in 60+mph winds. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE WEATHER. Otherwise, it is a great park with water, rv dump, bathrooms and coin showers. Picnic tables with sun shades. No fires allowed. Some spots are electric. There is about 96 spots i believe. I'm not sure what people are complaining about price when it's in a national park and you get all the basic amenities with the most incredible view...it's pretty average price. Plus this is the badlands, there's not many trees. It's not wooded. No matter how much space they give you, it would still feel like 0 privacy. Yes, some smaller spots are kind of closer together. Reserve ahead of time and get a spot on an outer loop and it's fantastic! Don't want to pay? Take the rough road down the wall, but there's no bathroom, no trails, pack in/pack out.

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    Amazing Views

    Panoramic views in every direction of this campground but very little privacy exists. No fire allowed to dry condition, but sun shade cover over picnic table was provided. Hot, pay showers available within walking distance of site. Great access to hiking, badlands car loop and wildlife of the park!

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    Little privacy, but nice overall

    Some sites have more space than others. We were in site 5 and there was great space separating us from the adjacent sites. Others seemed very close to each other. Shade structures over picnic tables are helpful. No fire rings, but summer temps in the 90’s meant we didn’t miss them.

    Badlands Hotel & Campground

    Perfect proximity

    Perfect location for visiting Badlands National Park. Jussstttt outside the park entrance and the Ben Reifel visitor center. Could not ask for a better location. The campground is a no frills, perfectly adequate base for exploring the area. 30 amp (some sites have 50) and water with a dump station. The staff is super friendly and there is a small store and cafe. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Sites are gravel and pretty level. Can’t beat it for $38/night! We had a spot at cedar pass for one night and extended here because it wasn’t worth moving (see pic of how close they are to one another) and CP doesn’t have water hookups.

    The views are spectacular from the campground. Great spot for sunrises, sunsets and stargazing.

    Cedar Pass Campground — Badlands National Park

    Cedar Pass Campground, SD

    Located within Badlands National Park, this campground couldn’t be more conveniently located to nearby hiking trails and all the Badlands has to offer. There is a visitors center with a small store in walking distance. Our site was essentially along a road, so privacy is limited, but you get your own awning and picnic table. The bathrooms weren’t heated and it was about 5 degrees which made our showers uncomfortable. The showers require quarters, but there is a no change machine. Use the vending machine to make change instead.

    Tent camping is allowed all year, but most guests were staying in RV’s.
