Stunning views and *mostly* accessible

Location couldn't be cooler as other reviewers have mentioned. That said, both of my stays here have had challenges (totally worth it): 1) it gets WINDY so check the forecast! You don't want to be parked on the edge in something high profile when those 35mph+ gusts come out, trust me. 2) that soil is something else when it gets wet! It gunks up your tires and turns into an oil slick. Less risk of getting stuck in the mud, more risk of sliding all over the place (praying you don't hit other campers or slide off entirely). I feel like rain is less likely during most of the year than wind, but I've been lucky enough to hit em both and they're worth knowing about. That said, the views here are incredible and unlike anything else. Right outside the park and 10 minutes from the nearest wifi (if you're a remote worker)

INCREDIBLE

This is one of the coolest places I've camped, easily! There are plenty of spots right along the top of the "wall" that offer views of the land and sunrises that can't be beat. There's a huge cell tower there so service is actually great. Located right outside Badlands National Park and free of charge, this is place is beyond cool. Keep an eye on the weather if you're in a tent or a tall rig though, wind storms can roll in quickly and are incredibly strong (see the cool part about camping on a cliff turn into a potential disaster) so just stay aware. 100% worth it. Also, no toilets so prep for that :).

Secluded and gorgeous, no longer free but worth it!

This campground is just as remote as others have mentioned. No cell service, miles of dirt roads winding through old farmland and logging roads, and an incredible view of the Crisp Point Lighthouse if you're equipped to make it down the 12mi dirt/sand mixed-vehicle road (I made it with a minivan, but it was real hairy in some spots). Camp itself is right on Bodi Lake with some secluded sites and some closer together that would be good for a group. I was the only person in the campground all weekend. Also, this camp is no longer free and costs $15/night with an additional recreation fee for vehicles (first come, first serve).

Gorgeous shoreside camping

This place is beautiful! Stayed at site 27, right on the beach and the views, the sounds, and the breeze couldn't be beat!
