Stunning vistas and lots of really cool, unique rock formations. It's crazy to me that the back half of the scenic drive isn't paved though, including getting to the most popular trail in the park. It was okay in my Civic, but the park seems a little bit neglected for how beautiful and important it is. Had some issues with poor trail markers in Kinney Coulee trail. Otherwise, phenomenally gorgeous... Stunning vistas and lots of really cool, unique rock formations.

What a fascinating place! The topography is badland-esque. Triceratops and T-Rex remains have been found here. Be sure to check out the Visitor Center and to take the scenic drive up to amazing view points. We camped in Site 12. It was a little tight for our 35 foot Class A but there was only one other camper in our loop. Potable water was available as were vault toilets. The night sky is breathta...

We were looking for a campground to stay at on our way to Glacier. We decided to reserve a site here instead of theodore roosevelt because it looked nicer than the campgrounds there. While the main campground was a little cramped, we decided to exchange it for a campsite in the "pine on rocks" campground, which are first come first serve. Can't recommend it enough if you're just tent camping. Don'... We were looking for a campground to stay at on our way to Glacier.

Can't recommend it enough if you're just tent camping. Don't try and go up there with a R.V. But in a tent, Pine on rocks can't be beat. Views were incredible. Did a few trails and loved them. The Kinney Coulee trail was our favorite. So many unique rock formations. A very nice park for star gazing as well. Check out the visitor center to see dinosaur bones. They have a fantastic display. We loved our stay and will go back in a heartbeat!

Great stop for an active morning. The history and geology is very interesting, but the trails are pretty short and low elevation. Would recommend visiting in spring or fall to avoid too much heat ans exposure without cover. There are plenty of bathrooms and picnic tables, and there is a Frisbee golf course that takes you all around the park. Recommend Twin Sisters and Cap Rock for the best views...
