About Us

Few places hit you the way the Badlands do — one moment you’re driving through flat South Dakota prairie, and the next the earth drops away into a maze of jagged spires, canyon walls, and colors that shift with the light. Badlands Hotel & Campground sits right on the edge of that world, giving you everything you need to get out into it: hiking trails into Badlands National Park, open skies for stargazing, and wildlife roaming close enough to remind you who was here first.

At Badlands Hotel & Campground (BHC), we’ve been welcoming families, solo adventurers, and everyone in between since long before the Badlands became a bucket-list destination. Open April through mid-October, we’re the rare spot that works equally well as a base camp or a destination in itself. Stay in our small hotel or set up at our full-service campground — whichever fits your style. When you’re back from the trail, grab a hot meal at our onsite restaurant, restock at the convenience store, rinse off at our bathhouses, throw a load in the guest laundry, and get back to planning tomorrow’s adventure with reliable Wi-Fi. Everything’s here so you spend less time on logistics and more time outside.

In September 2023, BHC joined the Blue Water Hospitality family, bringing a renewed commitment to exceptional guest experiences across every stay.

The Black Hills are waiting. Pack your boots, charge your camera, and book your stay in Interior, South Dakota — one of the most beloved campgrounds near Badlands National Park. Your adventure starts the moment you arrive.
