Badlands National Park
open, grassy campsite in Badlands
Cedar Pass Campground
 


Share |

Cedar Pass is a good sized campground at the main hub of the Badlands National Park. The campsites are mostly in open areas with views of the sharply colored badlands and the main park entrance. Cedar Pass campground offers modern restrooms from April to September. No open campfires are permitted in Cedar Pass campground. There is a surreal atmosphere to this section of Badlands National Park.



When I first stumbled onto this campground, I felt like I was pulling into some sort of outdoor theater. The campground has an odd feel to it, matched by the even more surreal outdoor speaking area with a hoodoo background (as seen on another page of the Badlands section here). One of the main park access roads is not far from the sites, so do not expect a quiet experience during the day in peak season. Everything is wide open, but the views are beautiful and the campground is very convenient in terms of being close to the visitor center.
