Big field for dispersed camping

This is dispersed camping so there are no services. Bring your own water and take with you all of your garbage. The road in is gravel but really wide. There’s a number of businesses so they road gets used. It’s a logging area but clearing to camp in was fine. The turn off onto the road to this spot was narrow. It’s just wide enough for a vehicle. Luckily we didn’t encounter people coming the other way or one of us would have had to back up. This is a big open field surrounded by trees. Plenty of space for all campers. You can head over to the tree line to get some shade or stay near the middle. We stayed near the road in because we were unsure about the rain. We didn’t want to get stuck. There are homes along the main road but it was quiet here. Jewel Cave and Hell Canyon trail are nearby. Custer is a short drive the other way. This is a nice spot to return to.

Wild camping in the Black Hills NF

Beautiful part of the forest and very quiet. Oddly quiet. Not a single sound not even a cricket Al l night long 🤨. Just your basic open patch of forest to pull off and set up for the night. No water nearby. No ATT cell service.
