BLM Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area

This Bureau of Land Management area provides dispersed camping year-round in the rugged badlands terrain outside Terry, Montana. Campers access the wilderness study area via gravel roads that may require high-clearance vehicles depending on recent weather conditions. The site operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees or reservations required.

Facilities remain minimal, reflecting the area's wilderness study designation. Campers should come prepared with their own water, as none is available on-site. The exposed landscape offers little natural shade, making site selection important during summer months. For those needing full hookups before or after their stay, Terry RV Oasis sits less than a mile away with developed amenities.
