Such a great park! I absolutely loved spending the day here wandering around. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous, little foot traffic this time of year (perfect!), and the trails are in such good shape. There were bathrooms easily accessible along with picnic areas and playgrounds. The park is kept very clean and has access trails for all experience levels. I also saw some people climbing the rocks! Very cool!

Absolutely stunning spot that is a must-see. We camped here for one night on our way towards Custer State Park. The Rock formations here are absolutely stunning and pink /red. I had never seen anything like it before. The campground was nice, quiet & shaded, had flush toilets and 2 showers in each rest room (no extra charge). There was a playground at each campsite and beautiful hikes. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Each campsite had a picnic table and a fire pit with a grate. We stayed at a site with an electrical hookup and an asphalt parking pad. There are 1020 sites where you can park your car very close to the site (but not quite at it). Bring stuff to clean your dishes because there's no slop sink.

Palisades is a beautiful park! There is plenty to do with fishing, some light to moderate hiking, several playground areas, and kayak access. Bring shade for the prairie campground and be prepared for sun, but the spots are quite spacious! It seems like the bathrooms are small for the size of that campground, but it wasn't crowded or too busy. Our kids enjoyed this park and we will be back.

Beautiful park, when you can find the main area. The roads were recently redone, and there is no signage. At the entrance you are not given a map, unless you get out and go find one. The map labels, especially on the old online map does NOT match the signage that is up so you are not sure you are where you think you are. Also, the maps do not tell you trail lengths. Overall, the park is beautiful, and has really nice amenities, including a campground with cabins, fishing, hiking, a small playground, covered picnic areas, and beach volleyball courts. The trails we went on were easy enough that even going with smaller children would have been perfectly fine.

It's plenty of parking everywhere. Camping right off the hiking trail. Hiking trail was amazing. There's even cabins right off the hiking trail. There's also a lot of new camping areas where RVs can park. Looks like there's a lot of new facilities there too. I never visited the bathrooms but there were a lot of them.
