Belvidere East / Exit 170 KOA Journey

While en route to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park or Devils Tower, this campground is the best stop for exploring a re-created 1880 town before visiting the Badlands and the famous Wall Drug Store.

While traveling across South Dakota, our campground is a great place to stop for the night.  There are no trains or planes to interrupt your peaceful night sleep.  We have wonderful sunsets to watch across the plains and great views of the night sky to find constellations.  You may even see a few shooting stars.  

Easy off, easy on, only 1/2 mile north off I-90 at Exit 170.  All the RV Sites are long pull thrus with free cable TV and Wi-Fi .  We are a Big Rig friendly campground.  There's also a fenced-in area where your dogs can exercise.  Children can be entertained by our playground, bike rentals and game room on property.  Birders can look for their favorite feathered friends that inhabit our lake surrounding the campground.  We also have visits from antelope, deer, coyotes and plenty of other wildlife.

Don't feel like cooking? During the summer months, join us in our cafe for pizza, baked spaghetti, iced cold smoothies or frappes.

We have a late night registration box available if you arrive after our store/office hours.

Max pull thru: 90 feet.

Great campground a half mile north of I90. It was exceptionally clean, particularily the bathrooms, and quiet. There are two fenced areas for your dogs to run loose and a cute little playground for the kids. The office staff was helpful and they were well stocked on supplies. Room for rvs, tents and they have small cabins. I have a van conversion and appreciated a tent site with simple electric where I could plug in my cpap for the night. I camped everywhere I went in South Dakota and this was hands down the best! I also lucked out to be there the night of a meteor shower and had an amazing view of the sky without city lights. Quite the experience.

The owners are the nicest people!! They have a restaurant with a decent sized menu and good prices, arcade, laundry area, and a dog park. We arrived about 15 minutes after they closed the kitchen, but they still took our order, then delivered it to our cabin. The food was amazing!! Cabins are nice and clean, bathrooms are updated and clean. Location is about 1/2 mile off the interstate, so close enough for easy off/on access, but just far enough so you don't hear all the traffic. We will definitely stay here again!

Great owners who really work, take care of the park, and provide great service! The burgers are great, the pizza is loaded, and delivery to site is free. It's a 'No Light Pollution' park. Great view of the sky and no lights shining in bedroom window. Wife and I walked to 1880 town. It's less than a mile down the road.

Very friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Clean campground with spacious sites. They offer a variety of site types for every budget. Very close to 90 West for easy on and off freeway access. Cafe has all kinds of food and beverage options that they will deliver to your camper during business hours. Highly recommend staying at this KOA.

Food was awesome! Super convenient that they make food right on premises. We did the breakfast sandwiches and french toast and they were delicious. There is no pool on the grounds. It was super hot so we upgraded from our tent site to a cabin, which they were super helpful with. Cabin ac worked well. It was clean. There was a tv and a mini fridge in there. It is right down the road from the old time town and a gas station otherwise it is pretty much in the middle of no where.
