Best Glamping near Philip, SD

It wasn’t too bad but our fire pit was basically a hole in the ground, the showers were kind of janky, the food was insanely expensive, and the firewood was expensive and hard to start.

The campground was very crowded on a saturday night. everyone had all of their lights on from their RVs until after 11 pm. but it was nice that this KOA had showers, much needed after a long day of hiking around during a hot day badlands NP. and all the people around made it feel a little bit safer. i had a nice shady spot for my tent under a tree.

Tent sIte. VIsIted in July. Extremely hot (>100) for 2 nights. mosquitos were insane! I usually expect them this time of year, but apparently they were especially awful this year per camp owners. bathrooms were sub par on the cleanliness side. dog area was nice. camp store very limited

Nice 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!

We stayed overnight in a W/E PT for $48. The campground has lots of trees and there's a nice size dog run. Only a few minutes drive from Badlands NP entrance.

Best KOA we have stayed at. Great location with a top notch facility. Bob and Karen are wonderful hosts. This is definitely worth the visit.

Talk about the name fitting the spot. Located right next to the Badlands Park. The scenery is out of this world! The KOA is clean and well kept. Don’t plan to have a lengthy cell call. The staff is great and the store is stocked!

Very 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.

Bathrooms are very clean & there are personal showers. Sometimes there can be a line but we didn’t find a problem. We enjoyed our stay & the location was on the edge of the badlands, nothing too far. I would stay here again! The owners were very nice to us

This campground was very nice! Loved that it had options for kids like mini golf, bikes, unfortunately we came after season but they do have a very big pool! We camped here while we hiked the Badlands for several days. I would definitely recommend going star gazing at night in the Badlands it's one of the best places to see the stars!

Nice campground located not far from Badlands NP. Easy access to the campground, and nice level sites. The free pancake breakfast was a nice touch for our family as well. We didn’t utilize the pool, but it looked clean, like the rest of the campground.

I was hesitant to camp in the Badlands because it gets so hot. This campground has SO many trees and I’m surprised at how much cooler it is, even though it’s right next to the Badlands.

Nice campsite space.

Bathrooms were a little sparse for the number of sites they have, but the bathrooms were clean.

This was our first time at a KOA. Stayed for 2 nights to explore the Badlands. The campground was large and very close/convenient to Badlands National Park . I appreciated that they had the option of purchasing dinner or breakfast at their cafe. Hosts and staff are very friendly. They had a huge dog park that our pups loved. Sites were close together and just ok from an aesthetic standpoint. Looked like a good campground if you have children - lots of activities and a pool. I am only giving 4 stars because one of our party is in a wheelchair and he had to go all the way to the back of the campground where the tent camping was to access an ADA bathroom/shower. And there were only 2 of those available - they are the regular showers for the tent campers. Otherwise, if you aren’t handicapped it is a good choice. Especially if you have dogs. Oh, and watch out for mosquitos. They do spray for them

Typical KOA, charged a little more but also more amenities. Would be a 5 if they kept the restrooms cleaner.

Nice stopjust outside badlands park

The check in process got kind of confusing. Our spot was just okay but that’s probably my fault for not booking sooner.

Conveniently located not much Todo in the area as far as restaurants and such. Had a huge lot stayed a week

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.

We 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.

Nice Koa close to the entrance of The Badlands Park clean great staff

We booked sites in February and requested adjacent sites. When we arrived, we’re given four different reasons why our sites were not adjacent. Pool was closed for 3 weeks due to pump issue. I know COVID has impacted supply chains but this is ridiculous.
