Badlands / White River KOA Holiday

We opted for this KOA due to the proximity of Badlands NP and the fact we had a party of 6. The reviews online were largely positive and we have no complaints. The cabin was very clean with clean bed linens, blankets and plenty of towels for showering all included. You might wish to have your own beach towels along if you swim a lot. We were traveling light and did fine with what was provided. This site has a lot of outdoor games and areas for kids to play. Everything seemed well-maintained and in good condition. The staff was super friendly and well-informed about the region. Definitely recommend if you want to be close to the national park and camp in comfort.

We had a basic cabin. It was mostly comfortable and a huge step up from a tent! That said, the AC struggled, and I could see daylight underneath it. There were also some bugs behind my bed - again, I know I’m camping and it happens, but it was still icky. The family amenities were plentiful - pool, mini golf, playground - but felt worn. The laundry room was great and super helpful. The staff was all kind. One set of bathrooms is much nicer than the other. There were several showers with broken parts, and I didn’t want to put my kids in them. Any negatives are far outweighed by the fantastic location, SO close to Badlands. Fantastic trip!

Good location but needs some work. Camp sites are fairly spacious. Not a lot of shade trees around though. We called the Campground before we arrived to ask a question and they didn’t answer the phone and did not return our phone call and we’re a little bit snarky when we checked in. Bathroom houses and showers, etc. are in rough condition. They need a complete overhaul. It confuses me how these campgrounds make so much money with their prices, but will not reinvest any of that money into their public facilities.

Location is perfect but this KOA does not seem to hold to the standard of being a KOA. Everything is super dated and run down. Big rig campsites are so close together you are eating dinner by your neighbors sewer. This campground has so much potential that it is not taking advantage of. The amount of rules and signs for rules seems excessive for the condition of the property

We LOVE this KOA! Just outside the park and very convenient. We've stayed in a camping pod and a Yurt and had a great time both times. Don't sleep on this one! Very friendly service too! We always look forward to staying here when we come through.
