"I just needed a place to stop and car camp. I was going to stay at a campground I."
"Woke up to a beautiful sunrise next to the reservoir. Plenty of sites to choose from with vault toilet close enough to walk between sites."
"We had a 4WD truck with rooftop tent. High clearance is not necessary for road."
"Maybe 3 spots.. one has hard slant.. no campfire signs all over.. not far to Roosevelt tower.. beautiful views.."
"There is an OHV trail just outside the quarry border, but wasn't used very much. Had just a few people come and stayed the night. Would definitely stay here again. "
"Close to town, from for a couple big rigs or more smaller campers."
"Access to the local creek. Sort of difficult to find a level spot but we made it work. We fit comfortably in a truck camper but I wouldn't go too much bigger here. Good Verizon service!"
"There are a few dispersed camping spots along this road which also holds the trailhead for Mt. Roosevelt Friendship Tower."
"The first pull of recommended was too steep for our van. We pulled off at a treat spot about 1/4 mile down the road with awesome views. Close to town but quiet"
"Flat, just off the road, dry, among trees, lovely view. Other campers around but still peaceful & private enough."
"The first 4 are accessible with any car, but it gets a bit rocky to get to the others so make sure you have good tires. There were a few cows wandering near our site which was awesome!"
"Drive in on a Saturday and found several empty campsites. Coming from Yellowstone, the lower altitude came with warmer Temps. Very pleasant camping experience."
"Site was flat and gravel. Spot for tents just up the hill. No fire ring, no picnic table, no hook-ups or garbage. Dispersed camping / boondocking. No fee. "
"The dirt road right off the highway is pristine, not even washboardy. Once you branch right for the last mile or so, there are a few small rocks and ruts but still smooth."
GuideLast mile of gravel going in to site was pretty rough. Sign indicated that the road would be impassible if wet/raining. Site was flat and gravel. Spot for tents just up the hill. No fire ring, no picnic table, no hook-ups or garbage. Dispersed camping / boondocking. No fee. Fantastic view of the country-side including Devil's Tower. Site appeared secluded and unused. Another vehicle with a tent did join us during the night, but there was room for both of us!
RangerThis spot is at the end of a forest road that runs west of Nemo, SD. There are other dispersed camping sites along the way as well. This spot butts up right next to a cliff with the Boxelder Creek running below and gives good views of the Black Hills to the south. No amenities at all here. A high clearance vehicle will most likely be needed to get back to this spot.
TravelerWell-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.
ScoutI just needed a place to stop and car camp. I was going to stay at a campground I. Belle Fourch but after a little exploring I found a great private spot in Free Dispersed area but the site were furnished with a fire ring and table and a great view of a beautiful lake. Slept like a baby!
LegendThere are a few dispersed camping spots along this road which also holds the trailhead for Mt. Roosevelt Friendship Tower. There was one pull through site that has no campfire signs and then two or three other spots. We seemed to be lucky and got the last open spot. We got here around 4 pm. The site we got was beautiful and had a lot of room for us to pitch a tent. Plenty of trees to go pee in but also an open spot where we could stargaze through the tent. There was some traffic on the road, more than you would think for such a windy gravel road. The first part of the road up until the trailhead had quite a bit of washboard which was a little scary on the sharp curves with steep drop offs. Enough Verizon cell service to text and make calls. Enough AT&T service to get WiFi on our SubaruLink. No water that we saw that we could use or filter. Had some people pull into our spot at different times not knowing it was taken. 9:30 pm was the last one.
RangerLoved this spot! The dirt road right off the highway is pristine, not even washboardy. Once you branch right for the last mile or so, there are a few small rocks and ruts but still smooth. At the top of the hill, there’s a left turn that splits - if you go right, you’ll go across a big flat meadow and at the end find a beautiful site with a great view of Devil’s Tower. We were surprised only one other car was here on a Saturday night. We experienced intense wind overnight, but still loved the locatiob
GuideArrived in the general area, but the few decent spots were taken by RVs. There was open space but exposed, found a more private location off a side trail. Trails leading to location were very tame, but offshoot trails definitely require high clearance.
GuideI spent my 14 days here. It is a bit noisy because of the trails used by off-road vehicles. The biggest grass field is sometimes used by multiple RVs and locals said don't even think of coming here during Sturgis' motorcycle rally. Right over the hill is the little town of Nemo which has a camping resort. All that folks spill out into this dispersed space with their ATVs and such. Mostly didn't bother me and I was here with two locals who leave their trailers here for lengthy amounts of time. Rangers apparently don't enforce the 14 days unless you cause a problem.
TravelerPretty well maintained dirt road up to 2 sites that look across the Devils Tower. The drive up (at least at night) feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but you're actually pretty close to Devil's Tower. We got in after dark and the two spots were taken. One up on the grassy hill is a large flat spot that could accommodate a few camp set-ups, if we showed up in daylight probably would have asked. The lower one right off the road (west) has a turnaround and could accommodate 2-3 vehicles who are camping with eachother. We camped between the two sites since we came up at dark and wanted to give the folks camping there adequate space. Quiet, serene, mildy buggy.
