Super private, great area!

This was an excellent spot for jeeps/off road vehicles. Very private, lots of fun if you have dirt bikes or four wheelers with you to explore. It’s just off the road so we heard cars going by every once in awhile, but for the most part had the area to ourselves. Only bugs were grasshoppers. Pit toilet was clean and unlocked. There was a map of the entire park as well. Probably one of my favorite spots

Gravel parking lot

Stayed on a Friday night.  A few big toy hauler RV's were there and ran their generators late into the night.  Some groups were ripping around on their OHV's late into the night (past midnight) which was less than desirable.  Pretty area, but know what you might be in for.

A stop, not a campsite

It’s a really pretty area! Very quiet. Great if you’re offroading. Pit toilet. No water, no other amenities. Only 7-8 miles from Glendive and 94! Weird little bugs that pack a bite for their size. And some flies.
