We spent two nights at the Badlands on-site campground Cedar Pass. It is a very nice facility charging $16 per night for no hook-ups. I think it was $24 for electric sites. If you go the two gentlemen working the gate have no idea how to place RVs. They say they will assign you a site. Just take the number, drive around, select the one you want and then go back and have them change it. Since the campground was almost empty we asked for an exterior site. They gave us an interior one. We had them change it to an exterior but they selected one that you could barely put a compact car in. We also saw the one they originally gave us which was on a slope. We picked a wide level site at the edge of the campground with plenty of elbow room between it and the other sites. Both nights we saw they had put some hapless tent campers in the sites they originally assigned to us. Even for tent campers there were many more desirable locations.
Here is the site we ended up in. It was beautiful.
We had a good view of the badlands.
The dogs await the opportunity to explore.
The view just beyond the campground.
The park isn't really good for dogs as dogs aren't allowed on the trails but we made do with the loop to the amphitheater and dump station.
Lots of good sites were empty. They should let folks select their own site just like most campgrounds.
