My friend and I stayed at this campground during our road trip to South Dakota last year. We had driven 8 hours to reach the Badlands, the first stop on our trip, and arrived at the park just before sunset. The scenery was amazing! So much so, that we are doing another road trip this summer and have decided that... More

We drove our RV in early Sat morning; the Sun was still ascending, casting its early rays over the vast expanse of the Badlands in majestic splendor. It was very chilly (46 degrees F or so), but the temp climbed quickly as the Sun rose higher in the sky. Temp went up about 20 degrees in a couple of hours.... More

Hello travelers! Cedar Pass campground was everything our group needed. Flush toilets and running sinks, electricity outlets, and drinking water. The view of the mountain peaks, and the amazing cloud systems above, was the cherry on top of this clean, well developed camp ground. Be sure to check out notch trail. It is a little challenging, but the sights on... More

The campground is simple, flush toilets, no showers, shared water spicket. We tent camped, there are only a few trees, the ranger was great and pointed us to a site with shade. The best part was the night sky, the stars were amazing! Worth a nights stay to explore the park and sky!

We stayed for one night in mid June 2012. Poor reviews of this campground in travel guides and the heat of this summer had us very unsure about this campground, but we really enjoyed our stay! The campground is large and first come, first serve. I don't think it fills often, but it was close to full the night we... More

We stayed here our second night at Badlands National Park (our first was at the free Sage Creek Campground). We could have happily spend a third night in the park, but we had to move on. Cost was $16 a night for an unserviced site. Washrooms were flushers and were clean - no showers. The campground set up for most... More

I have stayed at this park 3 or 4 times in my life and everytime it is just a one night stop over. The bandlands are incredible but I wouldn't think you would need more than a day here. The campsite does not allow fires and is just open space with picnic tables and shade over the tables. The bandlands... More

We paid $15 cash to tent here, it's basically inside the park and has a great view of what's known as the Badlands Wall. You can't have campfires (it's a National Park) but every site does have a covered picnic table. You are within walking distance of the Badlands visitor center and a restaurant, which is nice. The restaurant also... More
