Dispersed Site - Grassland Boondocking

We got here late right before sunset. A lot of the number of sites taken, but we did find one. We stayed on lot 12, and it worked for and overnight. Great sunset. Not as secluded we like but was quiet.

A red dirt road with a series of pull-in spots large enough to accommodate a camper or RV. Spots are spaced out a couple hundred feet. Other than your fellow boondockers, there’s no one else in sight. The views are picturesque.

...the hill is pretty steep and a couple sharp turns. If you are towing just make sure you are comfortable with that. It's a one lane road up the ill with blind spots so go slow and yield. Remember you'll have to come back down! Beautiful views though nicely spaced out spots.

Campsites are marked, a bit crowded so get there early to get a desired spot. Overall views are stunning.

This area is also known as Scoria Boondocking on Campendium. Workers came through on Aug 29th 2025 and put up site numbers. Indicated they were trying to get control of where people park. We were at the new #5 site with a 35' 5th wheel. Site is unlevel the further into the site you go but we were able to level pretty easily more towards where you enter the site. We were happy with our site location and views. You could hear road noise from I94 but it wasn't too bad. Also had a view of fireworks from the Medora music show each night around 9:35. Not sure how many sites they ended up marking further up the gravel road. There is no west bound reentry onto i94 from this exit (23). You have to go east bound back to exit 24 to go west again.

This is one of my favorite campsites to date. It’s totally dispersed camping, and there’s a lot of dirt road dust, however our site was super quiet and dark for beautiful stargazing. The other five star reviews are in my opinion legitimate. It was easy to come from Medora, North Dakota to the site, but it appears that you only get an entrance and exit on the Medora side. We almost went here for a second night, but got a first come first serve site inside the park for the next night.

Camped for 1 night before going to theodore roosevelt national park the nxt day! It was nice! A lot of campers. Lots of spaces! Please be noce and clean after

We had a nice time only stayed the night. Our dog loved running around and we loved seeing the views

Excellent views, narrow road yet accessible.

There are about 5 -7 pullout that i could see. Each are private with plenty of space. You might see another person but the sites are far enough away from each other to not be a bother.

There is alot of people looking for spots on a Monday. Get here early. It's worth it!

Lots of spots in a beautiful area. Good cell service as well.

We stayed 2 nights in July in this area and it was great! Plenty of spots, so we didn't feel like we were on top of other campers. Close to the National Park which was why we stayed and we were able to use all the facilities at the Painted Canyon Visitor center for morning rituals ( aka teeth brushing bathroom in a toilet, face washing etc) We did drive to a Rough Rider State park for a shower which was 5$ a person( totally worth it after multiple muddy river crossings on our hike) Rooftop tent campers be aware the top ridge is so windy the first night we stayed we were whipping around all night but the second night we stayed on the lower ridge and the wind was much better.

The coordinates are for the first spot. I don't know how many spots there are, but I just went until I found an empty spot.

It was easy to get level and the views are incredible with an hours long sunset and very early sunrise.

This boondocking spot is a must-visit for spectacular views, even with a late-night arrival! We got in at 11:30 PM and drove straight to the cell phone tower. Don't stop early; keep following the dirt road past what seems like the end. Don't get discouraged – there are plenty of spots! The panoramic vistas the next morning were incredible and made the night drive completely worth it. We'll definitely be back!

Plenty of spots all the way to the cell tower on the top bluff. Nice gravel road. Even if you stop before the top, explore the space. Beautiful vistas all around. Medora is nearby with opportunities for dining & entertainment.

We arrived late, about 9:30 on Sunday evening and we were still able to find a spot. Beautiful place to watch the sunset

Great place with lots of great spots to camp! Not cramped but not all alone❤️

I went June 23rd, 2024. We got there near sunset and was able to find a spot after driving for a bit. Had a gorgeous sunset and it was very quiet.

This place is amazing.

Found this site close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Road in is pretty good, any right should be able to make it. There are several sites in the camping area, some could fit big rigs. Smaller rigs can get into any of the other sites. Despite being near the Interstate, it was really quiet at night. Great Verizon signal on this location. Starlink had some of the fastest connections we have seen.

Easy access on a gravel road all the way to the top of the bluff. We opted to park at one of the first few pull out spots but saw several campers all along the road up to and on the bluff itself. We had great Verizon service.

Not far from the park. Great views from the top. We had no issues getting out jeep all the way up, but larger campers would need to find spots lower.

Arrived the afternoon 07/27/24 and had no issues finding a spot. Went past where Google maps took us for Scoria Pit and up the hill to sit atop on the bluffs for some amazing views! No amenities, but the location and quietness around us was very much worth it. Good location a little off the highway near Theodore Roosevelt NP. One section of the road was a little washed out, but generally easy access.

Stunning views in every direction and plenty of spots to choose from once you turn onto the gravel/dirt road. It’s a little bumpy so take it slowly, but I had no problem and I drive a 2WD hatchback.

A quick word of warning: rattlesnakes could be in the bushes! Keep your dog close and be cognizant of your surroundings!

Narrow Road, but plenty of spots to park at as well as not being too close to the next camper! Some of the most beautiful views you’ll see

Easy access with good road plenty of room. Great views

Pullouts along a dirt road provide good camping spots! Able to find a free spot on a friday night around 4 but there were definitely other people filling in.

most amazing campsite. arrived around 4pm and secured a spot with views of the whole valley. windy at times but was able to move the car in front of the tent!

easily accessible, multiple spots to choose from that are dispersed about half a mile from each other. far enough from the interstate to not see it, but close enough to still hear it. also had full bars with verizon. insanely windy but beautiful!!

Great spot to stay for a night. Winds can be high so if you’re sleeping between fabric walls it may get loud.
