  • We stayed at the KOA Badlands White Water River Campground in Interior, SD just 5 miles from the Badlands. We met up with Mark and Jen who were boondocking on the "wall" and rode our Spyders through there multiple times. We went to Wall Drug as well, which was way bigger than we ever expected and toured Minuteman Missile. Boondocking area is in this video along with our Report Card on the KOA.

    We camped at that boondocking spot - it was awesome!! We had one night where the wind was so back we pulled in our slides since I didn't want the slide toppers to be ripped off. Just a spectacular view!

      Oh yeah...can be very windy. We have had to do the same thing and pulled slides in.

    At 21:50 is where we stayed on the “Wall” last summer. Like you said leveling was the hardest thing, plus the wind was howling when we were there. Getting up at 5am every morning to watch the sunrise was amazing!

      Awesome guys! You were on the move to see that much in only a couple of months. It is beautiful! Doesn't take long to put the mileage on with a trip like that. Glad you had a great trip.

    One of our favorite areas of SD. We usually stay in the campground behind the visitor center. Once got stuck in the middle of a big buffalo herd with a big bull sitting across the road. Brings back good memories.

    Although it was more expensive than some campsites you visit I liked it , it was very well set up and certainly had enough room for you guys , easy to access.
    The Badlands......wow....I'm a bit lost for words , just fantastic...i bet the minute man tour etc was really interesting , i remember hearing about the minute men when i was younger. The more I see of America through you guys the more I totally understand why Dave hasnt ever left .....why leave when you have all the natural beauty and amazing places to last you a lifetime to see . Another fantastic video guys , hope dave got his arm back out of the bison ok 😊 and as always thanks Karen for taking the extensive time to edit and upload these videos , you guys know how much I appreciate them ...as always I've watched it twice already as I have to keep pausing it to take in the amazing views 🤩

    I looked on the website for prices and was astonished! Do people really pay $100 and more a night to stay in your own rv? That is nuts! I could stay in a motel for that price..

      @WattsOnWheels  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I know. It's crazy and they know they have you over a barrow. When you get to areas like this, they soak you and so do the motels.
