Campground was not what we expected; it needs some care; South Blvd is not marked well off of I-90. The office workamper was friendly and helpful. Cable TV was $1.50/night extra. We toured the area so didn't use any amenities. Laundry and office store were convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fairly outdated park with only a swimming pool for the kiddies. For our purposes--a layover while visiting the Badlands National Park--it was fine. The wi-fi signal at the trailer was consistent, although there were some problems SENDING (not receiving) email via Verizon.net. Wall Drug is a huge waste of time and money, and believe it or not, the best eating in town is probably the Dairy Queen. The National park, on the other hand, was superb. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We are staying in this park to visit the Badlands. Big mistake. Sites are very tight and you have to be slide to slide to fit 2 Rvs into their alloted campsite. We were in 2 sites due to the size of of our 5th wheel. Trains run all night and shake your RV. Wifi was good, water pressure not good. Would never stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an old, run down park. The office/store was dark, dingy & cluttered. Staff was unfriendly. Irritated employee took us to our assigned site. Entrance road was paved, but interior roads & sites are gravel. I tested the 50 amp plug prior to plugging in & found no voltage on one leg. I returned to the office and advised the maintenance man what I found. He accompanied me to my site & said you can plug in to the next site. I tested it & it too had one leg with no voltage. The 30 amp plug had only 85 volts. I advised him what I found & he told me my volt meter was bad. I asked him to get his meter & test it. He stated, Plug in or leave". I had been in the park ten minutes, used no facilities & was refused a refund. I will never return to this park & advise others to avoid it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older park but a perfect location to stay while you visit Wall Drug, which you can walk to from here. Also you can visit the Badlands National Park. The Badlands Park is a wonderful park. You could spend several days checking it out and seeing the wildlife. The management here is very friendly and helpful. They gave us a map and marked the sections where you could see the buffalo and where you could watch the archeological dig. So even though this is an older park it is a good place to stay. Also the cable is great and the wifi. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
An older, somewhat worn out looking park. Gravel sites were level and access was OK. Free WiFi worked very well; however, cable is available only in select sites and trees block most roof-mounted satellite dishes. A path through the weeds and over the railroad tracks led to the famous Wall Drug Store, so disconnecting the tow vehicle isn't necessary to shop and find something to eat. Wall Drug was interesting but I wouldn't stop again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very run down, wifi didn't work. Many old outbuildings, worst rv park we have stayed in! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were here only five minutes after we paid and then left. We asked for a 50 amp site and paid cash only to find that the park was not wired correctly. When they came to look at the circuit breakers, it had a 50 amp plug with a 40 amp breaker on it. We decided to leave and they refused to return our money. It was not our fault that we paid for something they did not have. It would be better to stay in the other campground in town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Made and paid for reservations. Given a site that was a row end. The site was so small that I could not put the awning up, it blocked the road. I told the owner that this was unacceptable. His response? Don't worry about it, everybody is parked behind you for the night, there won't be any traffic. His next offer was to allow us to fill our water tank and park next to a building that had a 30 amp. receptacle. I asked about the rows of empty sites? He replied that they were 50 amp. and he couldn't put me there. I requested a refund. He then decided that a 50 amp. site would work. He refused to honor his Good Sam discount. "It's bike rally week, and I'm already giving you a great deal. Other places get three times as much". This campground isn't even close to the Rally, and this place is hardly a "deal". Good place to avoid. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Looks like they are working on the park, adding new utilities and doubling up the spaces. They now have it arranged, in some areas, so that they can put two RV in each 30 foot wide space if they need to. One RV headed East and one headed West. They are arranged side by side, not on a slant and offset like most parks with this type of setup. After allowing room for the little tree and our slides, we would not have been able to open our door if there was another RV parked next to us. Fortunately, they were not busy when we were there so we had the whole space to ourselves. Next time we may pay a few extra dollars and stay at the other RV park in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is within walking distance of the infamous Wall Drug (gotta go there once). Sites are level, deep, sort of wide (35'+-) and grassy. Shade trees are minimal, but are there. Restrooms are clean but need renovation. We camped here in a camper.

Rest rooms could be improved. Interstate Hwy noise. We camped here in a camper.
Campground was very serviceable. Sites are small with little shade. Modest but clean pool was a hit with the kids on a 100+ degree day. Short walk to fabled Wall Drug. We camped here in a Motorhome.
OK for overnight stay, although I think we paid too much for what we got. Roads were reasonably easy to navigate. Gravel roads, gravel sites. We didn't use the pool but it looked clean. I did notice a lot of mosquitoes in the area. It's a very short walk to Wall Drugs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here 2 nites to visit Badlands. No pool, but then we didn't want it anyway. Gravel sites had been recently graded. Sites had grass between them, and were of adequate size. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park has very good gravel roads and sites. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The sites are slanted to allow easier entrance and exit from sites. This is helpful as the interior roads are a little narrow. Sites have grass in between, and are long enough not to have to unhook the tow vehicle. Sites are wide enough to accommodate any number of slides. Although it rained, there was no mud on the gravel roads. Park has a perfectly clean appearance & was very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed camping at this park. Wall is a unique town, and is centrally located between the Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore. People are friendly and genuine in this town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Flat sites good for wheelchair. We didn't use the showers but I did look in them and they looked clean but not good for wheelchair access. Cable tv was $2.00 extra but they did have more than 50 channels. I would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Decent older park - nice management! Sites are typical gravel but currently not well maintained - it could be early in the season. Close to downtown - walking distance. Excellent access to the interstate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff. Short walking distance to the town of Wall (very touristy, but quaint). Level gravel sites, clean office/laundry and nice little swimming pool. Small trees provide little shade, but shade is hard to find in that area anyway. Would easily stay again while traveling through South Dakota. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for an overnight because we wanted to visit Wall Drugstore. The campground advertised Wi-Fi, which they didn't have and television service, which they didn't have. A microscopic swimming pool, and a hostess who continually coughed in my face during resistration. Not too friendly. I wouldn't stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was very friendly. Easy access off of I-90 and close to Wall Drug. Pull thru site was level and quiet except for when a train was switching at the grain elevator which was quite close. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a decent campground walking distance to Wall Drug. It is very clean and the bathrooms are extremely clean. The sites are narrow but not too close to your neighbor. A train runs past the park but we only heard it once. One thing to note: the sewer hook-ups are a 2" pipe instead of the standard 3" This is a nice park to overnight at. We camped here in a Motorhome.
