Sleepy Hollow Campground

We work on the road and site 8 was right by a repeater and we were shocked at how good the wifi was our entire stay! We used this campground as home base to explore Wall, Buffalo Gap and the Badlands. It is also an easy gorgeous drive to Rapid City if you want to trek that far. The dog park was great and people were friendly. The sites themselves were decent. Everything you'd expect with a gravel, pull thru, full hookup site. They were closer to neighbors than we prefer but it met our needs.

We’ve been RVing for 6 years, this is the first time we’ve left and asked for our money back.

Started with the attendant working the office. Possibly she was having an off day, I’m not sure...but she was very unfriendly. The site we had reserved had trees on both sides of the pad and they both needed to be trimmed back. She acted very surprised when I asked if we could change sites, as we didn’t want to scratch the sides of our rig. She told me that she had never received such a request and that they were full. We managed to pull in at a strange angle to avoid the branches, we unhitched and then tried to connect power and water; both utilities were not functioning properly, so I went to the office. It was 6:10p, she had closed at 6p. Tried calling the office, was unable to leave a message and there was no after hours number on the recording. Looked on the door, no after hours number. We left and sent an email and FB message, requesting a full refund. To their credit, they did issue the refund.

The property itself was very worn down. The (very) small pool was closed for Covid 19 and the playground equipment was in dangerous need of repair. Wall Drug is a fun stop, but they have plenty of RV parking. Next tine we’ll stop for an hour or two and then sleep a couple of hours down the road or boondock on federal land.

Stayed 8/18/20.  This campground is within walking distance of Wall Drug.  It is also in close proximity to Badlands National Park.  We stayed in a full hookup.  The facilities could use some updating.  Our site was clean though and our one night stay was quiet.  It is sufficient for an overnight stay.

Very nice place to stay close to the Badlands. Nice showers and laundry rooms. Bathrooms are cleaned daily. Owners are helpful and nice. Really bad mosquitos though, so remember bug spray! There is free WiFi, but at times it was fairly slow.

Close to Wall Drug, an interesting destination in itself, and not far from the northern entrance to Badlands National Park.

Easy check-in and mostly-level pull-through sites make setting up a breeze. Not much in the way of trees or shade so be prepared for the sun’s heat. Mosquitoes were an absolute nightmare - I lived in Florida and those mosquitoes have nothing on the ones in Wall, SD.

For dog lovers the roughly 80’x80’ fenced area is a great place for Fido to stretch his legs & there is a small playground for kids, if you bring enough bug spray. The pool was green and didn’t look like it had been taken care of in recent weeks. Laundry is sufficient with 3 washers (1 out of order) and 3 dryers; $1.25 wash & $1.25 dry (30 mins to start and 16 min/quarter thereafter). Simple and convenient items in the office for purchase.

Biggest negative is the mud after any amount of rain. The sites seem to have been created by scraping off the layer of grass then spreading some gravel which essentially creates a pit for water to flow into. Several sites showed deep tire tracks and potential areas to get stuck. They would be well served to bring in extra dirt then add a layer of gravel on top so the sites are more raised. I also with the hookups were more central as opposed to at the very back of the pull-in.

Overall it was worth the $38 (GS discount) or so to spend the night on my cross country. One more negative for the mosquitoes.

Overall, we liked this place. It was large, green, and sites were easy to get in and out of. They had a nice fenced in area for dogs to play and a small pond to walk around. Trees ring the perimeter of the campground and there is farmland in the distance. There weren't many guests while we were there and the front desk was nice enough to space guests out so no one felt crowded. While some sites were rutted and uneven, ours was good and because the sites are set diagonal to the roads, we weren't looking right in our neighbors' windows or anything, which was nice. The location was perfect for us to see everything we wanted to see. We'd definitely stay here again.

Price reflects full hook-up, 50 amp, pull-thru site. Our site was gravel and fairly level with a small tree. Sites are fairly narrow but typical for independent campground. Great spot for visiting Badlands, Minuteman Missile Site and Wall Drug. (Wall Drug within walking distance.) Campground was busy but quiet at night. Nice dog run. Check in was quick and friendly and they have a nice little store. Bathrooms and showers had good water pressure and were impeccably clean. There’s a small swimming pool, too. Wi-fi available but we had great service with our own. We’d come back. NOTE: Right now the mosquitoes are insane - probably from all the water SD has received this summer. Be prepared and take care of your pets, too

Close proximity to Wall drug and the Badlands. However the park could use some attention. Potholes and huge ruts made it difficult to maneuver. Site size was decent. Showers are tiny and water is warm but not hot. Was not impressed with employee attitude when we arrived. Overall was just ok.

We needed a spot near The Badlands NP to call our home base while we worked remotely during the day and explored the spot at night. Overall this met our needs. We ended up with a spot on the end of a row close to the office so it made the WiFi actually accessible (but not usable enough for working... casual internet browsing was fine). Walking distance to Wall Drug and the main street in Wall. Really easy access to the highway. One thing to note, while each RV site had a picnic table, they didn't have a fire ring at each site - but there are some that can be shared.

The spots were varying in their degrees of level/potholes. Ours was great. We did not use the showers, laundry or pool, but the pool looked a bit gross to me. The office had a little camp store which is always nice in a pinch. I really loved the dog area for the dogs to stretch their legs. It's in the back and fairly large.

I would definitely return to RV camp but not tent camp. There are just too many mosquitoes in the area to be comfortable tent camping and the ground too low to get dry enough.

Sleepy Hollow was a nice little campground. Across the street from Wall Drug Store and a short drive to Badlands National Park. Friendly check-in service. Nice level pull-thru spot.
