Fodor's Review:

Open only three months out of the year, this small center serves almost exclusively serious hikers and campers venturing into the Stronghold or Palmer units. If you're heading into one of the southern units, stop here for maps and details about road and trail conditions. The center is on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which co-manages Badlands National Park, and is staffed by the Oglala Sioux Parks and Recreation Authority. While here, you can see fossils and Lakota artifacts, and learn about Sioux culture.

  • Open: June-Aug., daily 9-5
