Campgrounds near Badlands
We will be visiting the Badlands within the next week or so. Does anyone have suggestions for campgrounds in the Badlands area? Looking for full hookups. Thanks!

assuming you mean the South Dakota badlands there are a couple in Wall, SD. we use and like the Arrow Campground. the other one in town is the Sleepy Hollow Campground. frankly, they're both about the same so you would be fine at either. wall is just outside the NP boundry at the western end of the loop road.
We have stayed at both, and IMHO the Arrow is best avoided. The place is worn out, and we were given a site that was a joke. It was literally too small to put the awning out on a small travel trailer. When I discussed it with the staff, the guy said he was out of room, and offered to let me pull up next to an outbuilding and plug in. I told them I needed my money back, as it was heading out. Suddenly a very nice site became available. A quick check of rvparkreviews.com will confirm that I am not alone on this. The average review for the Arrow is a 5, the average for Sleepyhollow is an 8.
If the OP wants full hook-ups the KOA at Interior is tough to beat. Great staff and it's a beautiful green oasis. For absolute beauty, you can't beat the no hookup sites at the visitors center. I have been there during a full moon, and another time when the town of Interior, off in the distance, was doing fireworks, both were magical evenings in the desert.
