The Wall Boondocking Dispersed

Great spot, lots of campers here, but still found a spot. Watch out for grumpy old coot who parks right where everyone drives in and then tells you to slow down coz it’s too dusty. Hey mate drive further in and there’s no traffic! Duh.

A lot of campers of all kinds as it is free and right outside the park but it’s easy to get to and views are amazing. Regardless of the amount of people there tons of area to set up so doubtful someone won’t get a spot.

Fabulous! Views and several spaces both on the edge of grassland dropping off into the badlands wall and farther back. At least 25 campers there last night. It was breathtaking. Do be prepared for I tense wi d; this is prairie with no trees to cut wind. Well worth a visit.

Gorgeous site! Very popular site with neighbors close by, but ours were very kind and friendly! We got lucky and didn’t have any problems with wind. Enjoyed the sunrise and sunset from this spot!

I loved camping at this spot! It was easy to find, and even though there was a good amount of people there it was spaced out and I felt comfortable. There is zero privacy, so be prepared for that. If you’re in a tent also be prepared because it is extremely windy at night! Even my little teardrop was shaking. But the view is incredible and the sunrise was stunning.

Great views here!! Any car and any size can make it ! Tons of spots and amazing proximity to the park. 100% would recommend. I have stayed here multiple times.

Absolutely incredible views. Not so much privacy, but people aren't on top of each other either. Road was fine going up.

It was so, so incredibly windy! I thought my car was going to blow over, and there were a few people who moved a little further back in the middle of the night because of the wind. Excellent Verizon cell service.

We enjoyed two nights at the Badlands Boondocking Area. We stayed at the northernmost area of the camping and enjoyed the view down the entirety of the wall. The winds can get really high so don’t park too close to the edge. This was a great location for visiting Badlands National Park and going to Wall Drug.

Pulling into this setting was like finding a slice of heaven. Never in a thousand years did I feel this would be such a tremendous location. The views are breathtaking and inspirational for onlookers and writers alike. I found a deep spiritual connection to our planet in this place. After a little rain, the sky broke into a double rainbow, casting beams of sunlight into the green grasses and Badlands beneath the cliffs edges. I will be back some day to fill my spirit again.

What a beautiful spot to camp for free!! There is no water/electric/restrooms. No fires are allowed. It is very windy!! Just bring a chair and enjoy the view!!

Had a great spot. Get there early for a spot. The views are spectacular. Can be windy but worth it.

Location couldn't be cooler as other reviewers have mentioned. That said, both of my stays here have had challenges (totally worth it): 1) it gets WINDY so check the forecast! You don't want to be parked on the edge in something high profile when those 35mph+ gusts come out, trust me. 2) that soil is something else when it gets wet! It gunks up your tires and turns into an oil slick. Less risk of getting stuck in the mud, more risk of sliding all over the place (praying you don't hit other campers or slide off entirely). I feel like rain is less likely during most of the year than wind, but I've been lucky enough to hit em both and they're worth knowing about. That said, the views here are incredible and unlike anything else. Right outside the park and 10 minutes from the nearest wifi (if you're a remote worker)

We camped along the rim in this area, lots of space. Amazing view across the Badlands.

Arrived past dark, could determine where to go so parked along roadside. In AM found The Wall well populated with overnight campers. We can see why!

Big open area with amazing views for sunrise and just to hang out! Will definitely be staying again. I went at the end of August and arrived to the spot around 5:30pm. Still a lot of spots open.

This was one of the best boondocking spots I’ve ever been to. There were multiple people there but there is so much space that you can definitely find a spot. There’s not a lot of privacy, but the views and wildlife make up for it and everyone is so friendly but keeps to themselves and is there to enjoy the outdoors. Great spot and right outside of the National park.

You just pull up and find a spot along the ridge. It was pretty crowded and due to the terrain you don’t really have any privacy but the views and stars make it totally worth it. There’s no facilities here, so prepare well, but definitely worth a stop!

High on a bluff overlooking a valley of beautiful mineral structures.  Absolutely gorgeous! It is a bit windy at times so secure everything! Left everything during the day to go out exploring and nothing was bothered when we returned.  Always other campers around, so if you want solitude this isn't the place.  But met some great folks during our stay.  Photo below is a sunrise from our camper door.  Oh, and did I mention it is free!  Well you paid for it in taxes, so come enjoy it!

Awesome spot. Plenty of other campers, mostly with RVs or vans but everyone was respectful. We had a truck bed tent and as mentioned in one of the other reviews, the weather was unpredictable. We had some pretty intense winds and scattered storms come through the night.

totally cool views.

Beautiful location- lots of nice spots to chose from. Highly recommend

Popular spot. Peaceful and serene. Beautiful sunrises.

Nothing beats the experience of boondocking at the wall. Waking up to this view is a must.

Park along the rim and watch the sun come up. Beautiful.

Been here twice in the past month. Set up camp right on the cliff overlooking the edge of the Badlands. No services here, except super fast 5G cell.

Free camping right by Pinnacle entrance of the Badlands...cant beat free! It is hot up there in the middle of summer though a breeze comes through ..we were in the 80s, so I can't imagine what it will be like when it gets to 100 degrees. Regardless, I recommend this spot if you like free and want a lovely view of the badlands.

There were a lot of RVs campers and people in tents, but still tons of spots to choose from!!!

Fantastic views No facilities but worth checking it out for a night while in Badlands Unlimited space Sage Creek also free camping with 22 sites No big RVs We travel in a Ford Transit 19

Camped over July 4 holiday but still able to get a spot. Arrive before noon for best selection. Expect close neighbors when busy. But epic site along the wall. Road into the area is full of potholes so take your time.

The road in was a little rough. But we found the spot recommended by some for larger rigs and parked on the grass side of the road. We had fabulous views, amazing hiking and lots of memories made! Well….except for the biting swarms of cow flies. Hail. Extreme temp changes. Haha. But I guess it’s all part of the experience right?!
