Dispersed camping at the state line elevation puts campers directly within Custer National Forest, managed by the US Forest Service with no developed amenities. No hookups, no restrooms, no designated sites. Drive-in access means a standard vehicle can reach the area, though road conditions in this part of the Beartooth foothills can shift significantly with weather. Nearby options include M-K Campground to the northwest if a more structured site is needed. Pack in all water and supplies, and confirm current road conditions with the local ranger district before heading out.
