Badlands Camping:

Me and Bethany stayed the night and camped at the Badlands campground - A.k.A. - The Attica Family Campground. It's located about 50 yards outside the entrance to the Badlands.

I offer the following info for anyone who is interested, and might be staying at this campground in the future - as their website is not very informative, and is without pictures...

Attica Family Campground:

1.) The website says to call for reservations. - This would give one the idea that there is a maximum capacity and designated assigned campsites. There are no designated sites, and you setup camp wherever you can find room. I don't think they turned anyone away for being full. The campground was VERY CROWDED.

2.) "Campground" - The Attica Family Campground is not much more than a big open field with a bathroom / showerhouse in the middle. No shade. There are old rims spread around that are used as fire pits. If your "site" has no "fire pit" - feel free to grab one that nobody else has claimed.

3.) No Alcohol. - The rule sheet that you sign, as well as numerous signs around the property say that there is no alcohol allowed. Myself and most everyone else that I saw had beer. They don't search your cooler, or even ask about it, and the alcohol police did not appear to be on patrol. I got the impression that as long as you weren't out of hand, you were cool.

4.) "Located at the entrance of the Badlands" - 100% of the campground patrons were Badlands patrons. About 80% of Badlands patrons are ATVs, Quads, Dirtbikes. The campground shares the property line with one of the ATV tracks. This means that from the time Badlands opens - until Badlands closes, you will be surrounded by ATV's and their noise.

5.) Price / Experience - It's $14.00 per night. Checkout is 4pm on the day you leave. Check-in is anytime. As long as you know what you're in for, it's no big deal. You're surrounded by wheelers, and a stone's throw from the park. We had a great time. Only 1 complaint - the bathrooms and showers are a big mud pie!
