Rifle Pit

Coordinates: 44.60622, -103.90540 We only stayed one night but it was quiet from other people but did hear elk rutting at night! Super cool. Pack in and pack out. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because while it is National Forest the spots for dispersed camping are very limited because there is a lot of privately owned land so please be aware when picking a spot. It does back up to Wind Cave which is incredible.

The road went up but it didn’t look manageable in the bus. It didn’t look maintained like a campground so we skipped it. Just down the road are some great dispersed sites on rifle pit road.

Non-reservable campground that is first come, first serve. Primitive campground with bathrooms with no shower. 27 sites available. Angostura Recreation Area is worth a visit if you're at Rifle Pit Campground, and the Norbeck Trail is a great hiking trail close by.
