There are lots of areas in the Dakotas and eastern Washington that are beautiful badlands, but this was the official Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Although some sites had electricity, we dry-camped in the national park campground. There is a heavily used bathhouse with running water and showers. The view from the campground is just as good as the view from any hike. In fact, watching the awesome storms roll across the dramatic terrain from our camp chairs was great entertainment. We spent two nights at the campground which seemed about right for the visit. Take a bike ride into the town of Interior and find the off the beaten path cut-through for a very private Badlands experience.
