RD 356 Dispersed Site Black Hills National Forest
Hill City, South Dakota22 Reviews55 Photos360 SavesWelcome to RD 356 Dispersed Site in the heart of Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota. This spot is a gem for those who crave solitude and a true back-to-nature experience. The area is known for its peaceful ambiance, with many visitors praising the seclusion and serenity it offers. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle, this is the place to be.
Now, let's talk about the nitty-gritty. This isn't your typical campground with all the bells and whistles. There are no toilets, showers, or drinking water, so you'll need to come prepared. Pack in your water and toilet paper, and be ready to pack out all your trash. Fires aren't allowed, so plan your meals accordingly. Despite the lack of amenities, the beauty of this place more than makes up for it.
The road to get here can be a bit of a challenge. It's rough and rutted, especially after a rainstorm, so a vehicle with high clearance is highly recommended. Some folks have managed with regular cars, but having a 4x4 will definitely make your life easier. Once you make it through, you'll find several well-separated sites, each offering a good amount of privacy.
One of the highlights of this area is its proximity to Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. You're close enough to civilization to make a quick trip for supplies, but far enough to feel like you're in your own little world. The views are stunning, with mountains and dense woodland all around. Some campers have even reported having cell service, which is a nice bonus if you need to stay connected.
In summary, RD 356 Dispersed Site is perfect for those who are self-sufficient and looking for a quiet, secluded spot to camp. Just be prepared for a bit of a rough ride getting in, and you'll be rewarded with a peaceful retreat in the beautiful Black Hills.

This spot is perfect for those who love a bit of adventure and don't mind roughing it. It's a no-frills area, so don't expect amenities like toilets, showers, or even picnic tables.
