"Mostly open areas, sooo hot, convenient "

Was here mid-April. Most of the sites are pretty open (few trees), but there are shade structures at the sites. The sites vary greatly in size, as some can fit multiple rings and some just a van, so be careful when you choose your site.... Read more

"Side by side parking OR walk-to tent sites on beach "

The main area is just a parking lot with a picnic table at each camping site space. So you are right next to your neighbors. Everyone was quiet and respectful, but there's not much privacy or room to spread out. Lovely views of sunsets. In the... Read more

"Fresh big gravel "

I decided not to drive down this road in the freshly applied gravel in my little sedan/low clearance/prius, but it should be fine for most. Instead, I parked at the other entrance to the badlands, just to the north on road 7295 (by the sign... Read more

"Also stay across at the rest stop "

The first few sites were all taken here, so I stayed across the street at the rest stop/trailhead. There were other campers there too. That rest stop has a pit toilet. (Sorry, can't figure out how to add a site there.) Nice location, traffic... Read more
