Actually on other side of 240!
The coordinates are wrong on this posting and belong across the road. The view is beautiful from the wall, but be aware that the entire area is in a very active cattle field. This is probably fine for folks in campers/RVs but less desirable for those of us in tents. The cattle are not shy!

Like being on another planet .
What else can I say that hasn’t already been said ? I’ll say it anyway, this place is fricking amazing!!! We’ve been to the Badlands a handful of times but haven’t experienced like this . We were traveling home from Montana to Minnesota & were looking for some dispersed camping along the way…

“The Wall” in The Grasslands
We loved this spot in n our roof top tent. The farther to the left you go there are plenty of spots, we took a spot on a grassy bluff, not directly on the wall, but equally as spectacular.
