Prairie dogs are reclaiming their land and I love it.
Holy cats it was windy when I set up camp here. It's so flat that when the wind comes through, it just does not stop. AND the ground was SO hard. Super glad I had a real, metal hammer in my car to get my stakes in the ground.
Lots of available spots when I arrived mid-afternoon, but the sites with covered tables were all taken. Lots of prairie dogs.
Vault toilet was fine, but a line formed during busy times and ran out of tp.
THERE IS NO WATER HERE. And the spigot at the entry was broken, so I had to drive to the complete other end of the Badlands to get more water. Bring your own in if you can. Sage Creek could be used with a filter, but it was pretty shallow, slow moving, and a nice sage green color. I took the drive.
