Planning Your Trip

Costs and Fees

Fees for Badlands National Park are listed below. For $80, you can also buy an America the Beautiful Pass, which will give you entrance to all national parks and more than 2,000 federal recreation sites.

Best Time to Go

For the best weather, and the best time to avoid crowds, visit after Labor Day until the end of October. The number of visitors drops sharply in September, but you’ll still have nice weather and the rainy season (April – July) is over. 

The hottest months can also be the most crowded. July is the hottest the month and also sees the most visitors.

Year-Round Temperatures

Average monthly high temperatures range from an average of 91.2℉ (32.9℃) in July to 37.1℉ (2.8 ℃) in January.
