Cicero Peak Road Dispersed Campsite

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Rocky and rough, the road to this free dispersed site in Black Hills National Forest demands 4x4 capability over sections of exposed rock, and most vans won't clear it. SUVs can manage with slow, careful driving. Space is limited to one rig at the summit, with little room to turn around if another vehicle has already claimed the spot. UTV tracks are visible in the area, and Verizon and Cricket both show full service from the top. Bring a short-wheelbase vehicle and arrive early to avoid the turnaround problem.

Worth the effort ROCKY

The drive up the road is extremely rocky and we needed 4x4 over some of the rocks. Slow careful driving and you can make it in most SUVs but I wouldn’t recommend a van. Has room for one rig and little room to turn around at the top if someone is already there (unlikely). Views are amazing and worth the slow tire beating. There is a tower of sorts up here and we saw lots of UTV tracks. Full service with Verizon and cricket.
