This ranch is the home of children's book author Cowgirl Annie. This property is a working Ranch. Some of the campsites are in an abandoned gravel pit so you will be parking on a sandy gravel base. I like to let my guests decide where they want to park. I may have to move guests to a different site than the one they booked depending on what is happening on the ranch or the weather. There are cottonwood stands close by that you can hike through to the river. A wide variety of wildlife live in this area, so no telling what you may see or hear. You will have a big area to yourselves. I have tried to plan areas so you won't be disturbed by other campers. I do not groom hiking trails. You will be at one with nature. You may want to bring bug spray, sometimes the mosquitos and horseflies are bad. Wall Drug and the Badlands National Park are about a twenty-minute drive. Mount Rushmore is about an hour and 15 minutes.

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.

A lovely, quiet and simple spot to stay for the night. We were the only folks there on a Monday night. We saw a beautiful sunset and sunrise. And it was such an easy drive off of 90 and then a short trip to Badlands in the AM. Nothing fancy, but just how we like it.

Such a wonderful visit to Angela's land! Angela messaged me before I arrived to share directions and suggestions. I appreciated the contact and thoroughness in her message. My little dog and I were thrilled to find we had the place to ourselves. We explored the property, driving through the trees and checking out the interesting landscape. We ended up staying at the B. Gravel Site, mostly because of the hammock and picnic table. We appreciated the shade amongst the trees along with the peace of solitude. As it got dark, we laid in the hammock and watched the moon rise, listening to the night sounds alongside cows lowing occasionally in the distance. In the morning, exploring the property a bit more, we stumbled across a flock of 8-10 wild turkey! A bonus to an already pleasant stay. Next time around, I hope to try catching some catfish in the river!

This was the perfect stop over for us on our road trip! We wanted to dispersed camp in Buffalo Gap but got into town later than expected and didn’t want to risk not having a spot. We lucked out on finding this camp site with a few hours notice and the host was so helpful in communicating info to us. The spot was private, even with another camper at the next site over. Our dogs had room to roam and explore and the views of the sunset were gorgeous. I only wish we had more time to spend there! We didn’t get to explore much but what we did see was so pretty.
My only VERY minor issue was how close the compost toilet was to the other camp site (and this is mostly because of where that camper set up). It was handy to have available but I felt like I was overstepping into the other camper’s area.

3 nights at Badlands Hotel & Campground
This is an older accomodation for sure, if youre expecting luxury, maybe look somewhere else. The room had everything I needed; fridge, microwave, and coffee essentials. It was quiet and felt very safe - especially important for this solo travelers. I was even able to leave my window open for some fresh air. It is located in a small town. They have a gas station and a couple of small places to eat. I recommend the Indian Taco at Lulu's - delicious. Staff at Bandlands camp are super friendly and helpful. Their store has a good amount of essentials and they offer some hot breakfast options. You'll definetly get a sense for small town living.
