The campground per se is not exceptional- a roundabout with picnic tables for each site. Also an area for horse trailers. But the location IS exceptional!! We had a bison herd of 26 meander by on the other side of the river bed. Two bison hang out at/ in the campground for an afternoon, evening, morning (and possibly later- we had to hit the road). It’s a prairie dog metropolitan center, not town. AND two resident coyotes waiting for a lucky moment with a prairie dog appetizer. There were soundscapes (prairie dog and coyote) as well as landscapes…. And stunning starry night skies. Amazing place.
We arrived here the last night of their season. We feel lucky to have had at least one night here before they close for the winter. Although the camp ground is outside the park, the views from the areas surrounding the campground are great. The white river runs just next to the campground and the the dry season allows a creek walk. Sunset across the grasslands to the Badlands was spectacular. The bathrooms are clean, posts helpful and the sites feel big enough… Although there were approximately 10 other RVs in the whole campground on this last night. At the moment it’s very quiet.
