Check in was friendly and easy. Full hook up which was nice with cable. We did laundry and machines worked well and room was clean. Nice park for a few days to visit badlands and the city of wall. Downtown was just a few blocks away. Only problem we occurred was when it rained the sure flooded right at our steps of the RV. Had to literally jump out to the side. Did call office and ask if they could put some gravel to raise the side, however no one showed up. Luckily the rain passed thru and we were able to leave the next day.

We rolled into this *free* campground once it was already dark. Most of the campers were settling…read morein for the night. There are two pit toilets (enclosed restroom with actual toilet seat) and places for trash/recycling right by it. Some of the sites have the sun shade for the picnic benches, others do not. There are prairie dogs all over, watch your step for their holes when setting up! Beautiful place to watch for shooting stars. I think our groups favorite part was waking up to the sunrise and sound of bison- we hadn't seen one on our trip yet.. saw one as we walked up the hill and then found the entirety of the herd. The bison made their way across the prairie, one came into the camp and enjoyed using the wooden post to scratch himself. Tent camping went without a hitch!

Be prepared do some driving on rough, loose-gravel roads to get to this campground. Easy to find on…read moregoogle maps if you need directions, though it'll be quicker if you take the northern route as opposed to the southern one (from the Ben Reifel Visitor Center). The site itself is a cul de sac of sorts with picnic tables (half had shade cover, half did not) next to the inside part of the road. My fam and I got there on a mid-day Sunday and there were plenty of spots. Set up our tent next to a shaded picnic table. LOTS of cute prairie dogs everywhere--but they mind their own business as they squeak their day away. By nightfall, almost all of the picnic table/camping spots were taken, but everyone was quiet and respectful after dark. The restrooms had vault toilets and were surprisingly clean with plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer, didn't stink either, and no random bugs. As soon as dusk came, the prairie dogs all disappeared (for good reason) and the coyotes came out--they were VERY noisy with their constant howling. It was BEAUTIFUL at night, either the moon illuminated everything, or the river of stars--just wow. My kids and I had a great time here. Things to note: 1. Please be watchful of and stay very close to your pets, especially small ones (dogs/cats), PARTICULARLY at night if they need to go out to do their thing. The coyotes will likely see them as food and you won't see/hear them coming. 2. There is a horse campground next door. My only gripe about Sage Creek is that the riders bring their horses through the human campground sometimes and leave horse poop all over the place, despite clear instructions not to do so (it says they must go around the campground and pick up their horse poo). 3. No generators allowed... but pretty sure the horse campground folks had their generators running until at least midnight. :-/ 4. Make sure you have enough water for drinking, washing, etc. There is no water at this site. Please dispose of grey water appropriately. No electricity either. 5. There are a few hiking trails in the area. No map of those hiking trails though. 6. Buffalo are free to roam in the area. They weren't on the campground when I was there, but found them just around a bend when I left the site. Most importantly, have a great time! Be patient, be filled with wonder.

They have a laundry soap vending machine and a coin machine! The arcade was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the retro games! They even serve breakfast here! My tent site was well kept and the restroom facilities are very clean! We recommend this place 100 percent!

I had a pretty good experience here! We were staying near the Badlands for one night, and didn't…read morewant to setup and tear down a tent for such a short stay. Due to that we chose the 6 person Yurt, not because we needed the space, but because it was listed at the same price as the 4 person, so why not have more room for our toddler to run around! With the yurt being priced at $9/night more than the camper cabin with much fewer amenities I felt like it was an incredible value. The campground staff were also very friendly and informative. Here are my minor gripes that bring this down to a 4 star. Near our part of the campground there were only 2 Bathrooms, they were quite nice, and were completely separate 3/4 baths. But there were often lines, especially if one of them was being used for a shower. In addition to that the hinge style on the interior of the door was quite unfortunate. I'm tall enough where I hit my head on it multiple times. Secondly, when checking in the front desk workers hyped me up on ordering a pizza that they would deliver to my campsite. Unfortunately when I called in they said it would be over an hour and a half wait, that was a bit disappointing and I had to come up with other plans. Overall, a worthwhile stay. I've been quite impressed with KOA and look forward to continuing to explore their list of properties.

The bathrooms and showers are in very clean condition for a campsite. Showers are 50 cents for 4 minutes, with a machine to convert your bills to quarters outside it. You can't change the temp of the shower, so apparently our guys got hot showers, but the women's showers were great temperature. There's a nice sink for washing dishes. Found that it'll give very cold water which we used to help us cool off- this water is not for drinking but there are water fountains around. The staff is very friendly and helpful, you can reserve ahead or gamble and get a spot when you get there like we did. The visitor center and amphitheater for the star show is right next to this site. Trailheads for hikes like Castle and Notch are within a 15 minute drive. Beautiful scenery to wake up to, had wildflowers and the mountains/hills. Also heard coyotes both nights and saw deer, bunnies, and mountain bluebirds.

There is a nightly presentation by park rangers and volunteers that covers Reptiles and a Night Sky viewing. It starts at 9pm and goes for about 45 minutes.

A nice family activity worth checking out if you are staying in/near the Bad Lands.

I'm never going to rank something nature made less than 5 stars!…read more A unique national park...and a hot one! There is very little shade in this park and it is incredibly hot (we visited in July). We visited with two small kids (5 year old, 1.5 year old) so didn't do any major hikes. We did Door Trail which was fun to leave the boardwalk and explore for the whole family. We also did the Window "trail" which I would consider more of an overlook. We did the Cliff Shelf Nature Trail which I highly recommend for anyone! It gets you some different terrain and some shade. The views can be awe inspiring and otherworldly--not every overlook is worth stopping in my opinion but there's some really neat ones. The visitor center is good. Most stops have vault toilets which were all pretty well maintained. Would not recommend the extra drive to the prairie dog town...we saw prairie dogs all over the state so it wasn't really anything special. We saw several bison outside of the Pinnacles entrance and several herds on the way to the Interior entrance from the west. Try to go early in the day and late in the day to keep cool. And make sure your kiddos get their junior ranger badges at the visitor center.

We stayed here in early May and overall had a pretty good experience. We booked several months in…read moreadvance so we didn't have any problems getting in. We reserved four nights, realizing that we probably weren't going to come in until late the next morning, technically. We let the campground know ahead of time, hoping that would make our arrival go smoothly. They let us know that they'd put that information in our reservation. Something that is irritating is that you don't know your campsite assignment until you get there. We got in at about 5:30AM and while they had a box with the info for late arrivals, ours was somehow not there. We were exhausted, so we picked an open site and set up camp. Once the "office" opened at about 9AM, we asked if we could stay at that site and they said that we had to move to a different one. This could have been avoided if we were allowed to know our site beforehand or if they had actually had put our info in the after hours arrival box. This wasn't a huge deal, but it would have sucked if the campsite was busier and the had to wait to set up camp even though we paid for the night before. As many people have said, there is no privacy. This was fine for us, the campsites are decently spaced out so you aren't on top of other people. There is a nice little roof on top of the picnic table that blocks some of the sun when it's quite bright. There are no trees, so it gets very windy. Campfires aren't allowed, so you need to bring a camping stove if you want warm food. There is a nice spot designated for washing dishes and there is warm water. For whatever reason, the drinking fountains were not working, so we had to pull from the dish washing water. There are bathrooms with running water but one of the female stalls was out of order during our stay and the ground was flooded. We made it work, but you had to be careful to not get your feet wet. There are also coin operated showers and that building is nicely heated. It cost about $1.25 for a ten minute shower, which is very reasonable. The water was more on the lukewarm side, but nevertheless nice after a long day of hiking. We didn't go inside, but there was also a café and gift shop very close. The campground is in the heart of the Badlands and all of the amazing trails are very close driving distance. You are also about 30 minutes away from Wall if you need to hide from the weather. Custer State Park and Rapid City are a couple hours away, but we took a day to visit. If I wanted to set up shop in the Badlands again, I'd stay here again.

These campgrounds had nice views and great amenities and convenience to all the hiking trails, but…read morevery different than camping in Minnesota where I'm from! PROS: - Bathrooms were a huge plus. Had 3 stalls, running water, flush toilets, multiple sinks, lights, & plugins. - Had multiple drinking water pumps throughout the camp to refill all your containers. - Each campsite had a picnic bench w/ built-in shade covering. - You can see the Badlands so great views from the site. CONS: - There are no trees & you're out in the open, so you can see everyone's campsite around you...and they can see you - They allow RVs in the same campsite as us regular tent-ers so they ruined some of the views. - No campfires were allowed so can't have a classic camping experience here. TIPS: - Bring a tarp to give you more shade & protection from the rain & wind. The picnic table covering wouldn't of been enough for my group. - Book site early for the best spots on the edge facining the Badlands. - Bring a gas grill to cook on since no campfires are allowed. - Weather changes constantly. Dont leave tent flaps open even if it's sunny, since it could rain while you're out hiking...not speaking from experience or anything. This campsite was overall a good option for my group here to do all the Badlands hiking trails, which we did but you'll have to see my review of Badlands National Park for more tips on that!
