The Badlands of South Dakota in our RV

This is a travel experience by The Adventure Travelers.com. While we were passing through the state of South Dakota, we stumbled upon the Badlands National Park. Although the sun was setting, we entered into the park and found the very scary road to the campsite which was about 24 miles in the dark in our large Sunseeker RV. After finding a spot, we settled in for the night and returned to the ranger station in the morning to pay our fees. The campsites were very basic but had electric hook ups and were very flat. Most of the sites were a pull through (off the side) of the campground road. Because we were there in April, we enjoyed that it wasn’t the tourist season yet and the campsites were very empty.
We took our Prius off of the EZE tow dolly and we were able to set out to explore more of the park. There are many obvious hiking trails created by the park, however there are places to explore that could be quite dangerous (off trail). There are steep cliffs, erosion and mud caves created by the wind weather and rain. If you want to explore more of the mud caves you should take a knowledgeable guide.
The wildlife was quite stunning as we saw bison, antelope, deer, snakes and prairie dogs. Of course you should never approach wildlife, and the prairie dogs in the Badlands National Park have plague, so as fun as it seems to get close, you should keep your distance.
The visitor center is very educational and actually has a spot for you to leave a postcard or a piece of mail.
There are many exhibits and signs that explore the geology of this area. It is against the law to take any shells, rocks or vegetation with you.
The flanking town of Wall is very small, however you must take a trip to Wall Drugs (trust me, you’ll see the signs). We were able to explore Wall Drugs for several hours but I wish we could have spent more time there. It’s a wonderful example of good old fashion Americana with stores, eateries and very authentic and local crafts.
You could easily explore and hike the Badlands for two or three days. #badlands
