"It’s a quiet campground, close to the highway, serviceable. Would definitely stay again!!"
"Free National Forest campground in Custer National Forest. Sites include large picnic table and fire ring. Pit toilets available for use."
"I had been driving for 10 hours and when I got there the sun was setting I was pretty tired and stiff from the drive and I bet my dog was to."
"Three sites in a wooded area with pretty solid views because the area around the campground must have burned not too long ago - dead trees everywhere, so no foliage blocking the horizon."
$45 / night
"Beautiful, easy drive in if the weather's fair. You can drive right up to the lookout and pack your equipment up the stairs."

ScoutThis campground is very quiet, relaxed, and has actually been my favorite so far (and it's free). There are vault toilets, and it's right off the main road, so it's easy to pick back up if you're passing through.
TravelerNice little spring feed pond, Ada accessible
ScoutWe’re in a class c motor home was able to get to a sight with no problem. Spacing between sights is perfect.
TravelerOn the way to glacier we are looking for dispersed, NF, etc to keep costs down and see more of the country. PROS: easy, quick access from highway 212. Wide roads on both loops. All sites back in, but probably 5 of the 15ish sites could accommodate a 45’ RV or a 35ish’ fifth wheel. Clean vault toilets (one in each loop). Fire rings and tables at almost every site. Each site has a mix of sun and shade…so if you’re focused on solar, there are “good, better,best sites to choose from - but all of the sites have at least some trees. CONS: the easy access from 212 = some traffic noise, even at the furthest site from the road. No hookups at all (could be a plus or minus depending on how you camp)
GuideWas a great visit, scored the lot spot of the night, and the pit toilet was extremely clean! Spacious sight with peaceful, great views.
TravelerWe drive 25’ truck camper with Jeep Rubicon in tow. Camp road has two loops. No pull through so we unhooked. Sites are nice size. One clean pit toilet. Road noise was minimal on second loop. Road going in you cross cattle grate and road is doable with some ruts and pot holes. Nice spot.
GuideThis is a dry campground. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are pit restrooms that were clean. We camped in the first loop in a 35’ fifth wheel. We would have been able to fit in most of the sites in the two loops. Access from the highway was easy and the dirt roads are in fairly good condition. We could hear some highway noise, but it wasn’t excessive. We were here the end of August. We were the only ones in this loop. Four rigs in the back loop.
GuideMaybe 10 sites total in a vacant lot next to a run down laundromat in a seedy looking trailer park. Chickens running all over. At least my dog had fun chasing them.
Two of the sites were flooded. The maintenance guy wandered around later in the day and I mentioned it, he said the owner didn't want to spend the money to fix the busted water pipes. That pretty much sums up this place. They got an extra star because the (filthy) shower, believe it or not, had softened water.
Stayed here one night passing through. Set up the security cameras and kept the pistol on the nightstand.
