Overview

About This Campground

Badlands Hotel & Campground sits roughly one mile from the Badlands National Park Entrance Station, putting park access within easy reach. The site mix includes RV sites, tent sites (about 26), teepees, camper cabins, and motel rooms to fit different travel styles. Fire rings and picnic tables come standard at most sites. An on-site store stocks essentials and snacks, and a nature trail loops through the grounds. The campground operates from April 25 to October 13.

RV Driver Intel

The Setup

Primarily pull-through RV sites; gravel internal roads in good condition; very level slabs; check length limits (up to ~75 ft) when planning big rigs

The Vibe

A functional basecamp rather than a backcountry hideaway. You’re close to amenities and the park, not deep in the woods; privacy is decent but expect some neighbor visibility on busy nights

Bath & Laundry

Bathrooms feature flush toilets and showers and are generally clean, though a few reviews note occasional mold or low water pressure. Showers are available and typically clean. Potable water is on-site. An on-site dump station exists. There is no listed on-site laundry facility.
