Great Off Highway Spot for Quick Night Sleep

It’s sometimes hard finding a spot off the highway when venturing West that offers a nice view and a little seclusion before you head into the Badlands / Blackhills area. We’ll not anymore! This took approximately 10 minutes to arrive from the highway exit and offered a pit toilet, river access, and fire rings / tables at some sites.

Ample parking for all types of vehicles I shared the lot with about 6 others on a Tuesday night. Everyone was respectful and friendly. Bathrooms were pretty kept up as well.

Not a lot of privacy as it’s mostly a large gravel lot, but some sites offer a bit of tree cover.

Dirt road was graded but would be bumpy in a car or RV, but still manageable.
