About

USDA Forest Service

Buffalo Gap National Grassland

Welcome to The Wall Boondocking Dispersed area, nestled in the Buffalo Gap National Grassland in South Dakota. This spot is a favorite among campers for its breathtaking views and wide-open spaces. Perched along a ridge, it offers stunning vistas of the Badlands, making it a perfect place to catch a sunrise or sunset.

This location is all about simplicity and natural beauty. There are no facilities here—no toilets, showers, or drinking water—so come prepared. It's a true boondocking experience, but the payoff is worth it. The views are unparalleled, and the night sky is a stargazer's dream.

Visitors have noted that it can get quite windy, so make sure to secure your gear. The soil can also get tricky when wet, turning into a slick mess, so keep an eye on the weather. Despite these challenges, campers rave about the experience. The area is spacious, allowing for plenty of room to spread out, though privacy can be limited due to the open terrain.

Pets are welcome, and there's no need for a permit, making it an easy and accessible spot for a spontaneous getaway. It's also free, which is always a bonus. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, as there are no trash services available.

Whether you're in a tent or an RV, The Wall offers a unique and memorable camping experience. It's a great spot to unwind, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even meet some fellow campers. So, grab your gear and head out to The Wall for an unforgettable adventure.
