We drove through Badlands on our way to Custer. It was summer, so no way we could stay, but it was very cool. The whole area around Rushmore have a lot of caves, and many are operated by private for profit companies. Two are operated by the US Park Service, including one at Wind Cave. I thought the park service ones were better preserved and gave better tours than the private ones. Also, there was a cool area of wind cave that was populated by ferrets - that was cool.
I have been to a lot of National Parks - including the big name ones. I have never been disappointed. Sure, some are more spectacular than others, but they all preserve lovely places with integrity.
Meanwhile, although Custer is a State Park, it felt a lot like a National Park.
