Gravel roads lead to this dispersed camping area in Custer National Forest, where campers find established fire rings and picnic tables spread across open terrain. The Forest Service maintains a clean pit toilet, though the campground lacks water and electrical hookups. A natural spring nearby provides water for filtering, and several groves of trees offer shade options, though some sites remain exposed to full sun throughout the day.
Cell service comes and goes within the campground but strengthens at higher elevations and the nearby fire lookout. The area sees light use, with occasional cattle passing through the sites. Campers exploring the region can find places to camp around Custer National Forest for different terrain and amenity options. No pets are permitted at this location.
