"This is a great location for agate hunters to stay. It's near some descent agate beds and right next to the Badlands for a day trip. The staff is pleasant and always maintaining the campground."
"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!"
"Close to the highway, there’s restaurants and gas stations within walking distance. Perfect for what we needed, a quick, friendly stop. Cheaper than most too!"
"The directions take you the wrong way, it is actually located at 303 E 5th St. They have laundry and showers."
$40 - $145 / night
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!
GuideThis campground is great for an overnight stay. There was machinery and farm equipment in some of the RV sites. The property has not been mowed in some time. It is W/E only with a dump station for the majority of the sites. There is not a host on site and no one from the hotel that owns the campground came by. There is a bathhouse with showers (dirty) and flush toilets and sinks. The RV site we had was level gravel. This property is next to an interstate so beware of the noise.
ScoutThis is a great location for agate hunters to stay. It's near some descent agate beds and right next to the Badlands for a day trip. The staff is pleasant and always maintaining the campground. A very clean and quiet stay. Would recommend.
GuideIt 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.
ScoutThis was our second time staying at the Badlands/White River KOA. It’s a nice campground but our timing was bad for heat, biting flies and mosquitos. The campground fogged for bugs at night. Still, electricity, clean bathrooms, and an excellent location for getting to the Badlands National Park quickly.
TravelerTalk 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!
GuideThis campsite is probably one of the most luxurious we’ve stayed at. It was our first KOA. It is conveniently located right off the scenic badlands loop. Restrooms and showers were very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our biggest complaint would be that the mosquitoes were TERRIBLE. But the campsite is located right next to water, so that was to be expected. What was unexpected was the host fogging the whole campsite (he warned us first so we could wait for a few minutes in our car) which helped tremendously! The site had wifi and a little convenience store which offered a few snacks and drinks. They have a pool (not yet open during our stay) and activities for children. When we left the campsite headed for the black hills, we saw lots of wildlife. Overall we would definitely stay again!
GuideNice campground, some shade, friendly staff and close to park. Very cool pool, needed in the heat (101 degrees).
GuideStaff is very organized, just follow directions and they’ll get you all set up. Lots of trees and next to White River. Lots of sites, pool is very slippery so hold on. Close to the Badlands and great sunsets. Definitely coming back for a longer stay.
