About

Municipal

Large grass area on a Lake. You’re officially allowed to camp here for a maximum of 5 days. The campground has 6 spots for an electric hook-up at $20 per day. But is free if no electricity is needed. It's just 10 minutes away from the highway, but very quiet.

Great free tent spots, awesome lake

This is a fantastic free campsite, not crowded, beautiful views and a wonderful lake.

The bathrooms are terrible and there is no running water though, so make sure to bring some toilet paper and some hand sanitizer. That said, it's better than nothing!

Overnight haven

Stayed one overnight in a rooftop tent while passing through. Only a few other campers there on a Saturday evening. Pit toilet. Pay for electric hookup. For the most part it was peaceful, except for one truck that came through around midnight revving it’s engine and honking the horn. Startled me out of my sleep but otherwise, felt safe at this camping area. Added plus that it was a close drive to Badlands NP.
