Camped 5/16/23. Sites were in an open grassy area close together. Pad was a sand/gravel mix which was pretty messy. Site was not clean. Nothing special here. Cost of $35 was with a senior discount. The shower was nice. This place is too crowded to relax but it did quiet down at night.

Stayed at Dam West Campground on 6/21/21, site #24. The cost was $8 using our senior pass. This site has a spacious double-wide asphalt pad and is also extra long. Sites are well-spaced and very level. There is a nice circular raised concrete area with fire ring and grate. The grounds are clean and well maintained.. Many sites are right on Carlyle Lake and others have great lake views. The restroom at the end of this loop consists of individual-use rooms with toilet, sink and shower in each. There is a centrally located field for play along with a basketball court and 4 horseshoe pits. This end of the campground is close to Rt 75 so there is noise from traffic and trains. We stayed at this campground again on our way home, 7/7/21, in site #73. We got the last site, camp full on a Wed night. This area has a community air-conditioned shower house/restroom.

Camped at Scoria Pit on 9/11/20 for 1 night in a tent and again on 9/25/20 with a 19-ft trailer for 2 nights. Both stays were on the BLM grassland area with free dispersed camping. Primitive with no facilities. There were very high winds on both occasions and 40-degree nights. The road is dirt with some very deep ruts which may be difficult to navigate, especially if muddy. Some big rigs managed to park up on a ridge. We camped well away from others to avoid generator noise. Clear nights provide an impressive night sky as it is totally dark. The drive to the top edge of the pit gives beautiful Badland views. Scoria Pit makes a good home base for sightseeing in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Watch out for the buffalo piles! There is excellent cell phone coverage.
