Mount Roosevelt Road Dispersed Campsite

We were hauling a 20 ft camper looking to find the pull through spot we saw on the maps. The gravel road was accessible and pretty easy with the camper. We got to our spot just before sunset and only had one neighbor, though we passed a few tenters going up the road. Our spot was nice and a short walk to a vault toilet and trailhead. The trail led to a cool tower that we climbed to watch the sunset. Overall great spot and we’ll worth the short drive of the highway.

There were multiple pull off dispersed camping areas all along the Mt. Roosevelt road. The road is easy to drive if coming off the CanAm Hwy side of the mountain. Walking distance to the Roosevelt Friendship Tower hike which is highly recommended. Tons of bees in the wildflowers but they never bothered us. Pack in and pack out! Some traffic driving along the road but never overwhelming and quiet at night. Great base to visit Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish Canyon, and Devils Tower

Stayed here one night but definitely could have done more. Our spot was a pull out on the side of the road with an amazing view. There’s a bathroom at the entrance. Only maybe 6 spots before the road gets bad so pick one of those BEFORE you come to a fork in the road. If you go right on the fork the road gets bad. We had good service for Verizon and okay for T-Mobile. Spots are spread out so you have privacy. Pretty quiet area.

Nice and quiet spot !

Great place to camp for the night when in the area. Easy access can make it in any vehicle.

Road was in good shape. Lots of deer and wild life so watch out. Nice views but not that many spots before the super bumpy road about a mile in so we didn’t go further. We have T mobile and we got 2 bars.

We stayed here 1 night on a road trip. It was a Saturday afternoon when we arrived and a lot of the spots were taken, however we found an area to pull off the road that was perfect for our tent! It was so peaceful and relaxing, yet only minutes from Deadwood. We truly enjoyed our stay, the views, and the wildlife!

Well-kept road, several spots to park and camp. Some beautiful spots overlooking Deadwood. 5-10 minutes from town. We had a 4WD truck with rooftop tent. High clearance is not necessary for road.

Lots of places to pull off with a few bigger spots for groups or big rigs. Pit toilet at the Mt Roosevelt trailhead. Great views of Deadwood near the top of the mountain.
