RV access is limited due to a difficult road, so travel at your own risk. Even smaller two wheel drive vehicles may have issues. Dry season should not be difficult for small to mid sized vehicles. Sage Creek is also an exceptional area of the park for wildlife. Prairie dogs chirp at the site perimeter, and bison roam the low lying pine dotted hills in the immediate area. Bison can and do enter the campground so be alert. Personally, I found Sage Creek and absolute joy. It borders the very unique Badlands wilderness area and is quite as can be. Those willing to pack their own water will be rewarded with one of the most serene car accessible campgrounds in the national park system.
