This is just a little triangle of land on the edge of a small town with three full camper hookups. It is a convenient semiprivate location on your way to your destination. We are located “where the Badlands Begin” 20 minutes from the Badlands National Park. We are a tiny spot, 3 campers max, most likely just one possibly two campers, with a few trees, a couple pf picnic tables and a firepit.
Kadoka is a safe, quiet, small ranching community. There is a small grocery store on main st. It is open Mon thru Sat from 9 to 6. Main street is also home to the post office, a laundromat and a flower shop. The city bar with on and off sale options is also located on main street.
There is a subway and cafe ( the Sunset Grille) both located on the hwy 73 entrance to town.
Kadoka has a city park with a swimming pool, covered picnic area and children's playground . The pool is open weekdays June and July.
One last thing, Kadoka is a small town with volunteer fire and rescue teams. If there is a fire or car wreck, the siren will go off and continue until the volunteers arrive. It will stop, and you don’t need to do anything. It’s one of those things you get used to when you live here, but is a bit startling if you are not accustomed to it.

Fischers Lilly Park
9. Fischers Lilly Park
44mi from Midland
Fischers Lilly Park is a unique campground steeped in history, marking the site of the significant encounter between Lewis and Clark’s Corp of Discovery and the Teton Lakota nation. This pivotal moment in the Lewis and Clark Expedition was characterized by differing trade goals and a lack of communication, leading to an armed confrontation that nearly ended their journey. Located at the mouth of the Bad River, this historic site was officially designated as part of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail by the National Park Service in June 2004.
The park features 12 RV pads equipped with electrical outlets, available on a first-come, first-served basis, along with a convenient dump station. Each pad offers water and electricity for a fee of $22 per night. Families can enjoy the playground equipment and a picnic shelter, which includes electrical outlets and restrooms. For outdoor enthusiasts, a boat ramp is accessible from the park along the Bad River, with an additional ramp off Deadwood Street connected by a newly constructed walking bridge. Fischers Lilly Park is not only a place to camp but also a gateway to explore the rich history and natural beauty of the surrounding area.

We loved tent camping here! The badlands were literally our back yard and the entrance was less than 2 minutes away. We stayed for 3 nights and every staff person we met was kind and extremely helpful. Their facilities were always clean and water for the showers was always warm. We tent camp often and that isn't always the case everywhere we go so it was much appreciated. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

This site really is just the best in our opinion. The hosts are so friendly and communicate well. We were driving back home, passing through, my husband and I couldn’t think of any other place we wanted to stay. Maybe just too lazy to look knowing this was an option but felt like a no brainer to return. The view is spectacular. You’re off the road and we feel safe at this campsite. We are really hoping Dale & Lisa keep this site going for the trip we’re planning next yr.

No questions about it, would love to come back and have already shared the campsite with two of my camping buddies in case they ever journey out here. Hosts were very friendly. The views were breath taking. The smell of fresh sage was heavenly. Site 8 was nicely leveled for our travel trailer to back into which made for easy sleeping and the electrical hook ups were great for convenience. There was a cool like patio/picnic that was shaded we could have utilized and I really liked that. There weren’t any other campers when we stayed and the quiet was peaceful. We woke up early (on our own accord) to the most beautiful sky.

We had an amazing stay here. While this was my first time at a campground, I was pleasantly surprised. This was not “roughing it” for me. I thought the individual toilet/showers rooms were fairly clean, good hot water, and they had hooks and tables for your stuff. The campsite itself was nice. I think we had a good location on a corner lot while some were a little small if you were in the middle. Overall a great place and great location!
