Sage Creek Campground was fantastic. A FCFS free site, we arrived around 6 pm and were able to pick pretty much any site. The buffalo herds and prairie dogs towns we saw on the way were really cool. There were many trails that led right from the site out to sage creek and the surrounding hills. Waking up in the middle of the night to watch the milky way was amazing, I would recommend Sage Creek to anyone who loves camping. Keep in mind- No running water, and open fires are not allowed.

We finally stayed in the Sage Creek Campground this time, after driving through previous years. It is a small campground with pit toilets and NO WATER, the pit toilets were very clean. The campground is in the open with full exposure to the sun, there are about a dozen picnic tables with sun shades over top. It is a very peaceful campground with wide open views and buffalo coming and going as they please and they do. Great stargazing and coyotes yipping close by at night. Terrific rustic campground.

When you're going around the Badlands Loop Road, you'll see a dirt road branching off called Sage Creek Rim Road. Once you're done exploring the main part of Badlands, TAKE THIS ROAD. The road leads you out of the park, so save it for the end of your visit.Plenty of mountain goats, hundreds of prairie dogs, and..... BISON. We turned a corner and suddenly there was a herd of several dozen bison in the middle of the road. We got close and parked the car. We found ourselves just a few feet away from these huge, beautiful beasts. Looking one of the larger ones in the eye for an extended amount of time is an experience I will never forget. On our trip, we visited 10 National Parks across the US and saw quite a bit, but this was one of my favorite moments... all thanks to the Sage Creek area of the Badlands.

The Sage Creek Rim Road gives you a different view of Badlands National Park than the Loop Road. We drove it early in the morning when the animals were out and about. Saw Big Horn Sheep and Buffalo along the road. The Prairie Dogs at Roberts Prairie Dog Town were most active running and squeaking about their burrows. Saw a young Badger investigating the burrows probably hoping for an easy breakfast but he was unsuccessful. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times for the animals and the scenery. Be aware this is an unpaved gravel road but was not rutted or potholed when we were there.

We drove the Sage Creek Rim Road and found a very different landscape from the Loop Road. After driving awhile we left the spectacular eroded formations and into rolling hills with grass. This is the area of Badlands where the bison are located. We found the bison more toward the latter part of the road and along the road into the Sage Creek Campground. For the most part, we found the bison solo, or in groups of two, until the last 100 yards before the west entrance to the park where we found a herd of about 40 bison. This is beautiful country and I think in terms of camping, this area is more pleasing than the drier Pinnacles and Cedar Pass areas.

This is about 23 miles long, and you will need to display your Badlands National Park pass or buy one when you reach the park entrance. I started in Wall heading south, then West along Sage Creek Rim Road so different starting point than what is listed on the Badlands/NPS, but essentially the same route. I first saw some big horn sheep, and later, I saw the biggest prairie dog colony ever near where Sage Creek and County Road 502, and because this area is less traveled by humans, the prairie dogs freak out in a really funny way when they see you coming. It will be hot even when temps are around 70 degrees, so bring plenty of water. At a minimum, bike with a hybrid if not a mountain bike. You should also be prepared for a fair amount of hill work. I would not characterize this ride as "fairly easy" as written on the Badlands/NPS site. It is absolutely worth doing though

It's primitive- no water or other amenities, but if you're looking for simple (and free!) this place is great. While it is totally exposed to the sun, most of the sites have covered picnic tables to keep you shaded. The pit toilets are the cleanest I've ever seen! While we were there, our neighbors were respectful and quiet, and it's a great location to explore the badlands.

A great end to the Badlands Loop. The campground is bare bones (pit toilets, picnic tables), but probably my favorite campground of the whole trip. In addition to being free (!), it's gorgeous, flat, and quiet. I grew up in the middle of the country and don't think I've ever seen so many stars at night.

DH and I stopped at the Sage Creek Campground on our way to the Big Horn National Forest for a quick overnight. This is a free campground with few amenities (picnic tables and pit toilets) but the natural amenities are spectacular. Unlike the typical "Badlands" terrain, Sage Creek is a grassy wilderness, complete with prairie dogs barking and coyotes howling. No campfires are allowed so plan accordingly. The night skies are unrivaled so brush up on your astronomy before you go!

We drove out this gravel road at dusk one evening. There were tons of animals. We saw a whole herd of buffalo that came across a field, crossed the road in front of us and went down a steep hill on the other side. The sheep were active too. They walked up the steep bluffs like it were flat ground. We also saw what appeared to be a herd of antelope.Helpful Hint: This was in July so it was very hot. We went on this loop in the early afternoon but saw nothing but a few sheep. Right at dusk was the active time for the animals.
