From David Sweet, former About.com Guide
Sage Creek Campground, in the South Dakota Badlands, is indeed a great place. I've used it on a number of occasions as a jumping-off point for hikes in the Sage Creek Wilderness, which starts right across the creekbed. You can see antelope and bison. The antelope are hard to get close to. The bison -- you don't want to get too close. On one hike, my friend John and I did an overnight trip across to the other side of the wilderness area. We didn't pack enough water; ended up at the Conata picnic area begging tourists for water. We looked like a couple of starving chipmunks. Wildlife aside, there is no better place to sleep under the stars. It's pretty incredible.
