It's very open and very windy at the Cedar Pass Badlands campground. It is just an open field with plenty of space for tents and campers. It does have flush toilets but no showers. The wind just whips through the campsites and there are NO trees. They have constructed wooden shelters over the picnic tables to allow you to have some protection from the sun and wind while you are eating, but make sure you have your tent staked out and guy lines set. There are beautiful views of the Badlands and there is easy access to the roads that take you through the National Park. If you make it in before five o'clock in the afternoon you can grab a hamburger at the lodge/diner next to the campground.
