Best Cabin Camping near Wall, SD

The staff is so friendly, easy check in, very well kept, clean bathrooms and private showers. Pool and hot tub, close to everything. Campers observed quiet hours. We got a great nights rest, they offer a breakfast menu. We didn’t try but the option was there.

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 .

This is a great place to stay. Not far from Rapid City but close to all the attractions in South Dakota. The heated pool was NOT heated and the hot tub was NOT hot. That is why I gave the CG four stars. I was really looking forward to using them. Also, both seemed overloaded with chemicals. I have owned lots of pools with blue colored bottoms, but these looked like there was “Ty-d-bowl” added. Brilliant, stark blue. I just don’t believe it can be just the basic treatment. See what you think. ???The laundry areas (3 of them) were clean and tidy, too. $2.00 for each, but 45 minutes on the dryer, so that’s fair. 😀 Our spot was a bit difficult for us to level our rig on because the rocks kept slipping. We had to go purchase extra Xchocks. There is a nice store for basic needs, and alcohol, and an event schedule for evening entertainment. The event center serves wings (no celery or carrot sticks), pizza, etc. There is a playground for kids and they said a dog park. —-I did find a big area there, but no fence around it. ???

All pull through sites. Not a lot of room between sites, but adequate. Restrooms are a bit far from the sites but very clean and tiled. The entrance is about a block from Wall Drug, conveniently located.

The wifi is terrible and the entire campground feels dated. That said it is immaculately maintained. The bathrooms though clearly multiple decades old are clean and buttoned up. There is pride of ownership here. The help was friendly and it was quiet.

Also a block and a half from Wall Drug which is cool.

This 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!

Pull 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!

We 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.

We had a great experience at Pine Haven! It’s a brand new wedding venue with cabins and RV spots. Some of the cabins are still under construction as well as the office. But if you all need is a nice, quiet place to stay, walk your dog, see Mt. Rushmore and do some stargazing, this is it! We had the park practically to ourselves, which was a nice break after several crowded parks. Sites are fairly level and the exterior lighting posts are a very nice touch. We decided to leave early due to some inclement weather predicted for later this week, and they even offered a refund for those nights - excellent customer service. The closest town Rapid City has a decent downtown area and has all of the big box stores you’d expect, and there are several very touristy things to do around Mt. Rushmore. And of course Mt. Rushmore itself is a must see! There are several places to stay right beside there, but this location was more secluded, quiet and spacious. Great stay!

This campground is in a very central location along a highway that gets you to mt Rushmore, wall drug, the badlands, and much, much more within an hour.

They offer rental cars for a comparable price which is very convenient and something as an avid world traveler and camper, I’ve never seen!

The pictures online are a bit dated, but all in all- the pool is warm, the showers are clean, and the area is great.

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.

Badlands 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.

Very easy, courteous and straight forward. Pool is not open and won’t be. But they have an agreement with the Wall Community center pool for campground guests to use for free. We headed over to use that pool and found a great splash pad at wall drug instead. The kids loved it.

It’s a nice place heading east or west to land for the night. We’ve stayed at sleepy hollow before and find it and the proximity to wall drug a fun landing stop for the night on our trek across SD. Dinner, ice cream and splash pad fun at wall drug is the perfect end to a day on the road for our family.
