Large, shaded sites near shop, restaurant and hiking

This part of the park is gorgeous and we nabbed two nights last second due to a cancelation! You can walk to a river, hiking trails, a restaurant, a small store, and the ranger station. Short drive or small hike gets you to the hotel with it's nicer stores and many other trails. All the rangers and camp hosts were nice and informative. It helps to have camped with bear aware practices, but if not they will walk you through the process. There are no showers if you care about that, but when you have these views- who cares!

Priced right, lovely shaded area

Host was kind and funny and sold wood for fire rings. She even drove up to our site and checked us in curbside as we got in just after 8pm and she wasn't there when we arrived. It is priced well for large, nicely wooded sites. Just above basic with pit toilets and water.  5-10 minutes to Sundance for amenities. 30-35 minutes to Devil's Tower. 

Would absolutely stay here again!

Convenient location, better for tent camping

Good proximity to visitors center, a cafe, store, amphitheater and many drivable views. Also quick 2 miles out of the park to the small town of Interior for gas,  etc.

Toilets were clean enough for a campsite,  but PAY showers were less clean (reasonably priced for pay shower and water was hot and pressure great…I just never wanted myself or any of my belongings to touch the nasty shower curtain and you want to keep those flip flops on). 

Weird layout for those with pop outs into the street as this is not a pull in place. You just parallel park on the street in a small aside like a bus stop. Many RVers had chairs in the street when their vehicle provided shade that direction. We tent camped and it seemed much more fitting for that.

That being said, the views are amazing from the camp. The night program at the amphitheater was so entertaining that we went twice!  We saw buffalo, deer, mountain goats and big horn sheep while hiking or driving. There is no shade anywhere in the park unless you time the sun and some rocks in early morning or late afternoon. They do have partial covers for the picnic tables positioned in a way that blocks noon to evening sun. Also, the sturdy wood/metal covers had many hammocks hung on them- good way to relax in the afternoon heat.

We stayed 3 nights and it was enough time to drive all scenic roads, see all vistas, go to Wall Drug, and day hike all designated trails in park (backpacking you follow game trails or dried creeks and need no permit or reservation).
