Badlands, and wind cave S. Dakota that bad?
yahoo travel did a recent article on the 5 worst National Parks. Badlands, and Wind Cave were both on the list. As we are planning a trip to S. Dakota in June/July, I was wondering if any of you agree...

Unique is the right word, and we enjoyed both of them in 2013.
Badlands NP has upgraded their campground somewhat with some electric sites and it can be reserved in advance online. One of my memories is the changing colors on the rocks that surround the campground all day, but especially sunset and sunrise.
I enjoyed Wind Cave and Jewel Cave. To the OP, when you are in Custer State Park (one of the best in America, IMHO), stop by the Game Lodge for a beverage and look at the fireplace in the bar. The crystals and rocks came from those caves.
Terrific area! we spent a week and loved every minute.
