ScoutThis site is big and relatively flat. There are three other dispersed campers here while I write this. There’s enough space where our spot still feels private. There is a creek passing by the edge of the open area.
ScoutGreat little spot nestled in the woods next to a small stream. Quiet road that is part dirt at times. Would highly recommend
RangerVery rough road. Lots of boulders in roadbed. No established sites as promised. No one else there. Forest nicely thinned out
GuideI really enjoyed my stay here. It’s so close to Custer and Hill City. Clean and pretty.
TravelerCurrently updating pads and infrastructure. Everything gravel. No shade. Cl

TravelerWe enjoyed this place. Nice wide spots and drive through for easy setup.
Vicky is an excellent host. Thanks.
Guide7 miles from Sundance, last 2 miles on packed dirt road. Has water, toilets, picnic tables and fire pits. Nice level sites. My 25 fit in with room to spare.
GuideThis is a pretty neat spot if you’re looking for camping without plugging into anything. Little cell service overall but the views to Devils Tower are just amazing. Access to hiking trails; lots of wildlife; free fire wood; first come first serve; cheap and easy - no cash or check; stargazing is a must here
