Small town feel

Plenty of parking and close to town of Interior, and Badlands park entrance. Laundry is available - self service, costs US$2.75 for a load and about $1 for dryer. Campground office has a store with most basic supplies you need.
View from camp entrance with Badlands at the end of this road.
