Friendly staff. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Sites well maintained. Lots of amenities. Only complaint are sites a little close.
Guide
Super prime location to many of the attractions around. We felt very safe and welcome in this park though it's very much a parking lot feel we enjoyed our stay. Small gathering place that put on some wine tastings and live music. Small little pool to cool off. Pricey for a monthly stay but worth it for the location and easy parking even with the biggest of big rigs.
RangerWe booked as it appeared I might have to leave town for work. Kept reservation as work got cancelled. Sites are very close to one another.
Staff very helpful and friendly.
Sites were clean but very close to one another.
An ok stay but too many people too close together.
Guide
Great location with an awesome view! The spots were pretty level; bathrooms were clean; great laundry facility and the arcade room was nice to have! The roads in the park are kind of washed out and pretty steep but it was a great stop overall!
Traveler
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.
GuideWe spent 6 nights and had awesome day trips with wildlife experience the entire stay
GuideConveniently located not much Todo in the area as far as restaurants and such. Had a huge lot stayed a week
LegendClose to Mount Rushmore and crazy horse! Pirates cove mini golf is a short drive away! Great facility with standard KOA amenities. Have stayed here twice but was only able to find a few photos from a stay about a decade ago.
GuideLong term stay. Great rates. All staff very courteous. All facilities clean and well maintained. Level gravel pull through sites of varying sizes. Each site has grass area except on the new end. It is very close to the highway, so there is a lot of road noise. Other than that our stay here has been excellent. Good cell reception. Standard campground wifi, but good reception. Haven't used cable. Nice enclosed dog exercise area. Playground for kiddies. It is off season, so pool, tennis court and some other facilities closed right now. We will be leaving the end of November, but after having been at several campgrounds over the past 2 years, this will be our go to place in the Rapid City area from now on.
GuideEasy access, clean nice drive through sites
GuideNice campground, some shade, friendly staff and close to park. Very cool pool, needed in the heat (101 degrees).
GuideThe check in process got kind of confusing. Our spot was just okay but that’s probably my fault for not booking sooner.
GuideClose to everything in the city, but outdoorsy feel. Great for the kids. Fair pricing.
TravelerNice stopjust outside badlands park
RangerTypical KOA, charged a little more but also more amenities. Would be a 5 if they kept the restrooms cleaner.
ScoutGreat staff. Location unbeatable. Bathrooms very clean. Amenities are very good. Views are great
LegendThis 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
TravelerI 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.
GuideThis place is fun with unique flare. On site restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner with live music each night. Had a relaxing quiet time.
GuideWe are traveling through South Dakota and a storm was brewing. We decided to camp here instead of dry camping so that we would have hookups incase we couldn't open the windows. It's really warm outside. They have a camp store, live music on a Sunday and a Cafe that offers pizza and wings for dinner, breakfast, and a bar. The only con is that there is no shade and it's right on the interstate. Looks like they've begun planting trees.
TravelerNice 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.
GuideNice campsite. Stayed during the rise of gas prices so many cancellations. Breakfast served every morning. Music at night
ScoutGreat facilities, sites are a little close together but staff is so awesome
GuideBeautiful campground. Spots aren't too close together and are level. I am in spot 22...water, electric, and sewer.Good sized dog park. Miniature golf, pool.
TravelerI stayed here with my mother, sister, her fiancé and three kids. We had three dogs with and the dog park area was great. It is down some stairs so it is not accessible for some but the views of the city at night and the forest during the day were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful during my stay. I enjoyed it so much after a day of site seeing I came back and stayed for an extra unanticipated night. Only thing was the sites are a little small but even I had no issue parking my 33’6” motorhome and I had only stayed at two other locations prior to this visit.
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.
ScoutThis has been my home since my dad moved us here in 1970. I love it here. We have great grassland and there are beautiful canyons, and some of the features of the badlands show up in this area. It's a great blend of scenic beauty. We are near the North American Pole of Inaccessibility, making this one of the most remote regions of the continent... but you'll still get cell service!
As I said above, I'm biased, because this is my home. But I've been happy to host guests of all kinds for the past 20+ years from hunters to cultural tourists seeking to learn more about Lakota traditions and lifestyle.
