Basic Information

Cell phone coverage in Badlands National Park is generally unreliable, and visitors shouldn't count on consistent service throughout the park. However, some areas, including the Conata Picnic Area, Basin Overlook, the Southeast entrance, and the Cedar Pass Area, have pockets of good coverage with popular carriers. It's advisable to prepare for limited cell service by downloading your Chimani map and guide before your visit.
