Free dispersed camping in Hill River State Forest requires coming in on 640th Lane, a winding road with sections in rough condition. Trailers are not recommended unless equipped for off-road use, and the 15-foot RV limit reflects those constraints. Drinking water is listed as available, though one reviewer noted no amenities on the ground. Campers who want developed facilities nearby can find Hill City Park and Campground a few miles north.
