SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations run $20 and sites include fire rings, tables, and a hand-pump water source, though at least one visitor found the pump dry on arrival, so bringing your own water or a filter is a practical precaution. Bennett sits within camping near Little Missouri National Grassland, a wide-open grassland landscape with a distinct Badlands character, bison activity, and access to long hiking trails. Sites are exposed with little to no shade. Horses and kayaks are welcome, and the Little Missouri National Grassland Dispersed near Maah Daah Hey Trail lies roughly five miles south for those wanting a less developed alternative.

Dakota Prairie National Grasslands

This was one of our favorite campsite in ND. Very Badlands feel here. There are some nice long hiking trails, bison and other prairie critters. This is wide open country with no real facilities (no trash either).

Yay: simple camping and lovely scenery, wildlife. If you have horses, bring them!! Ditto to kayaks.

Nay: no water (byo or filter/boil). Nowhere to rent a canoe/kayak in the whole area. Sunny open sites without shade.

Surprise: thunderstorms rolling over the prairie is something you’ll never forget!

It costed 20 dollars to make reservations but was total worth it. There is a lot of buffalo out hear ad there is a lot of dung
