For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: The park is okay but not worth $36 per night. They did have power issues in the past but they seem to be fixed now. The PROS are location to the Badlands. New gravel sites and streets. Easy to find. CONS are no 50 amp FHU. Electric and water on some sites are shared. This almost started a fight among 2 campers trying to stuff their electrical equipment in the same box. Bring water and electric extensions you will need it. The sewer on the 30amp sites is not threaded so bring something to hold your sewer line on. There must be a million flies here. Seriously millions. We spent an hour killing flies in our RV and gnats too. Water pressure drops to almost nothing when sharing water connections. Weird but you cannot shower at the same time as your neighbor. Park is overpriced for the services. Should be a Passport America park. We won’t stay again at this price. Office staff was nice.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: Full hook ups right outside the Badlands. You can drive 5 minutes and experience the park. You do have to buy a park pass to get to the park if you come from the hey 240 exit just to get to the park. We meant to print the 4th grade pass off at the camp ground and hadn’t yet. Bathrooms could be cleaner, but full hook ups for $36 this close to park is a great deal. Tight sites, but pull thru. Biggest cons, Has been lots of rain lately so we had standing water and there were lots of mosquitos. Views of the badlands from the site.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: Read the whiney review about sharing power poles and the poorly designed bathrooms, but decided to check it out anyway since options were limited. Glad I did. No, it is not the Marriott, just a reasonably appointed campground, with reasonable showers in a very busy area.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: We were originally assigned site #6. I drove up and it quickly became apparent that there was no electrical post. So I walked back to the office and the woman at the front desk explained that even and odd sites share a post. WHAT? That is extremely poor design folks! I asked for another site and then she couldn't figure out how reassign us in the computer. We ended up with site #11 and it was ok. Worst bathrooms and showers that we have ever seen in an RV park. Bathroom stalls are dark and dingy and the floors were constantly wet. It was a constant challenge to keep ourselves from slipping and breaking our necks! And whoever designed the showers didn't slope the floor to allow water to drain automatically. Nice job team! Wifi was abysmally unreliable. Electrical voltage was unacceptably weak. Turning on 1 air conditioner along with our fan took the RV down to 107 volts. Wow that is bad! On a positive note, this campground is 1 mile from the entrance to Badlands National Park. We will definitely not return.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: We wanted to stay in the National Park but the daytime temperatures were well into the 90’s with nights not cooling down till after our bedtime. So electric service was a must. We booked at Badlands Interior ti assure ourselves we would have 30 amp power and we are glad we did. The only other campground that had power nearby was Cedar Pass and it did not have a site available. We drove through Cedar Pass and frankly we found the layout and crowds not appealing. While Badlands Interior has small sites, the place is clean, decent views, and a better value for us. If we had an inverter, the Wall Dispersal site would have been a better Park experience but without power and thus A/C the bride would have been miserable. I’d return to Badlands Interior again.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: First of the last Two reviews are not of this campground. The Badlands Interior Campground and Motel is manly pull through sites. Gravel roads some grass at the sites very narrow some with picnic tables they do have fire rings but we did not use it way to close to us and our neighbors. Only a couple of trees too small to speak of not really any shade from them. We stayed for four nights and the temperatures were in the upper 90s. Only 30 amp sites could only run one air-conditioner and about 2 o’clock in the afternoon when everybody was on power we needed our generator to run the air conditioner their power dropped off. Generator use here is 7 AM to 9 PM. They do have an above ground pool small store very few items in it. Their Wi-Fi is wonderful you can actually stream movies with it. They have a laundry room but did notice rust in one of the washers. Never used the restrooms so I can’t comment on them. Over all it is a very run down campground and motel but it’s half the price of a KOA four miles down the road. I would stay again but only for one night if I was passing through. The only reason we stayed here was because of the reviews. I wish all stays would review the reviews before they posted them.

For Badlands Interior Campground and Motel: Location, Location, Location!
Beautiful views of Badlands. Sites are parking parallel to road in a loop. Convenient for overnight stay. Each picnic table has a sun shade. Limited electric. New sidewalk and water fountains being installed so somewhat of a construction zone feel.
I would stay here again and do more hiking.
