Fantastic views

Rolled in here after a 12 hour drive at about 11:00 pm. There were still quite a few spots to set up. There were mostly campers and we were one of two groups tent camping but that wasn’t an issue. Make sure to use stakes for your tent though because the wind is wild. The stars were gorgeous and the sunrise was unrivaled

Amazing camping

Absolutely loved this spot. So beautiful! No amenities but if you bring plenty of water, you’ll be great. We even took a little “bird bath” to cool down in the 98* heat. There are two green gates - one before the radio/tv towers and one right in front of them. Either will lead you along the ridge. Pick your spot anywhere along the road for incredible views. A little forewarning: you will want shade and good tent stakes to accommodate for the heat and wind.

Camping on the edge!

This is by far one of my favorite places to camp in the country! It is a windy ridge overlooking the badlands and just outside the north park gate. Look for the radio towers and drive up the dirt road to a cliff where you can set up and enjoy a spectacular spot! There is a lot of room for everyone to spread out. But be sure to stake down your tent and secure it well because I have camped there twice and both times I felt like I was going to blow away! But it is well worth it and a magical spot!

Brilliant Spot

Huge ridge line with fantastic views. Lots of people but enough space for everyone to be spread out. Try and plan for wind, because it can be brutal but the experience is worth it IMO.

BLM Buffalo Gap National Grassland j

Drive 240 S from Wall SD towards the NP for 6 miles. Look for a small dirt road on the left, it’s easy to miss. There are 3 radio towers near a Dispersed Camping area. You’ll notice the towers before the turn. Good cell service. Spectacular location. Most stay 1 night or 2. Best sites vacant by 10am and full by 4 pm.
