Lakeside Camping
This time of year, I was the only one in the campground. Very beautiful sunset views and very quiet. For non-residents, a bit pricey for no water, but there are pit toilets. I would highly recommend!

Pearler spot
We saw 2 deer on the way in. Flat, just off the road, dry, among trees, lovely view. Other campers around but still peaceful & private enough.

Beautiful Sunrise
Rolled in late night. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise next to the reservoir. Plenty of sites to choose from with vault toilet close enough to walk between sites.

Rough road but great spot
This was a great spot to spend a night near Devil's Tower. The road getting there was rough but we were the only ones there. We even had a few free range horses and a donkey pass by in the evening.

Scenic campground with view of Devil’s Tower
Every site is a pull through. Generous spacing between sites. This is a first come, first served campground. We arrived at 2 pm on Fri Sept 6, and it was full by 4 pm. Flush toilets on site and water, but no showers or laundry. Access to hiking trails from the campground. Garbage dumpsters available, but no dump station. Payment (cash or check) is made at entrance, envelopes available. Campground management came through often. There are two loops. Loop B is more friendly to big rigs than Loop A. Cell signal was weak. Campground gets dark at night, perfect for stargazing. There is a KOA near the park entrance as well as some retail. From campground, you have to drive to the visitor center.

Quiet, dispersed sites
Temps on 90 were in the 90s but up here a great breeze and cool. So peaceful! Our second year here and loving being back!

Great find and it’s free!!
Just pass the Weston turn off at Highway 49 and 59 on the right if you’re heading north . Go about 1 mile down a well-maintained dirt road. There was a vault toilet and a picnic table and a little pond that you could fish in. Nice flat area to park on. Far enough from the main road where it was super quiet.

Quiet and away from everything
A heap of broken if I would have known about the road before traveling up it I would never have taken my 29 ft trailer to the top. However I did make it. It's a beautiful place away from everything very quiet. I will add more to this review after I spend the night or two.

We went, we saw
We were hauling a 20 ft camper looking to find the pull through spot we saw on the maps. The gravel road was accessible and pretty easy with the camper. We got to our spot just before sunset and only had one neighbor, though we passed a few tenters going up the road. Our spot was nice and a short walk to a vault toilet and trailhead. The trail led to a cool tower that we climbed to watch the sunset. Overall great spot and we’ll worth the short drive of the highway.

Free and lovely
I just needed a place to stop and car camp. I was going to stay at a campground I. Belle Fourch but after a little exploring I found a great private spot in Free Dispersed area but the site were furnished with a fire ring and table and a great view of a beautiful lake. Slept like a baby!
Sophie B.GuideStorm Hill BLM Land Dispersed Site
great view of devils tower in the distance
struck out on any camping close to devils tower, so we ended up coming here. fun little dirt road coming up the mountain to the sight. really only like 2 spots. lower spot is medium sized and we saw someone else there in a jeep. friends and i took the top spot which was big enough for a truck, a large suv, and sedan.
very quiet secluded area. got cold at night in august, but very beautiful views.
in the dark we kept seeing a tuxedo cat randomly watching us, not sure if it’s a stray or an outside cat from one of the nearby farms, didn’t come over when we enticed it and ran when we shone the light but cute little campsite friend i guess.

Nice, spacious spots Shady or open
Initial road in is seriously corrugated- just drive slowly until you turn off to side road.
Different roads if loop provided easy access. We bought out 30” 5th in without problems, and our (distant) neighbors were a class A with trailer
Random pit-toilets, but not much else
Lake is low, shore is mud
Nice with breeze most days we were there

A nice peaceful place. Well maintained, friendly staff
Rocky Point Recreation Area
Nice spacious sites
Being charged $6 or $7 as a reservation fee is a tad excessive when you’re paying $28 for electric only site. Drop-toilets available. Dump station and potable water
If you can boondock, plenty sites on opposite side of lake ( see Belle Fourche Dam & Reservoir, and it’s free)
Ground was so parched-grass do dry that it hurts pooch to w as ok on it
Overall, a nice peaceful place. Well maintained, friendly staff
Upon arrival as l, previous camper left his crap in the fire ring

Amazing Waterfront Spots
We visited the area in July 2024, it was the holiday week so it was busy, but still had some open spots. If you can't find a spot on the main peninsula there are still lots of other choices.
We did a campsite video review and if you want the direct link https://youtu.be/5cFjZbQstU4

Good for an overnight and nice view
I stayed for just one night and it was perfect for that. I had no issue finding a spot, as there are so many around the reservoir! They are spaced out, but not many trees for privacy. The “beach” is very muddy so you can’t really get in the water. The bugs were bad in the evenings, but nothing I couldn’t handle. The sunset was gorgeous on the water.

Dispersed Camping Close to the Action
There were multiple pull off dispersed camping areas all along the Mt. Roosevelt road. The road is easy to drive if coming off the CanAm Hwy side of the mountain. Walking distance to the Roosevelt Friendship Tower hike which is highly recommended. Tons of bees in the wildflowers but they never bothered us. Pack in and pack out! Some traffic driving along the road but never overwhelming and quiet at night. Great base to visit Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish Canyon, and Devils Tower

Rough Road
We drove out without the RV to scope out the area and are glad we did. The road was a washboard for a long way, and we decided that the potential damage it might cause our rig was not worth the savings from dispersed camping. We headed back to our previous site in a developed campground. Pretty though! Lots of wildlife and beautiful open surroundings. Very few trees of any kind.

Last minute find
We booked a night as our plans had changed, what a gem! We were very impressed, the facilities are impeccable. Site was perfect, level, well kept and very spacious. We had a site right on to the lake. Would highly recommend, it checks all the boxes and that sunset!

Reuter Campground
Beautiful and quiet
Tim and Kelly are great hosts. The sites are spacious and shaded, but not very private. Toilets were very clean. If you are planing on visiting Devils Tower, this is far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to visit. If we come back this way we will camp here again.
Olivia E.GuideMount Roosevelt Road Dispersed Campsite
Loved it
Stayed here one night but definitely could have done more. Our spot was a pull out on the side of the road with an amazing view. There’s a bathroom at the entrance. Only maybe 6 spots before the road gets bad so pick one of those BEFORE you come to a fork in the road. If you go right on the fork the road gets bad. We had good service for Verizon and okay for T-Mobile. Spots are spread out so you have privacy. Pretty quiet area.

Belle Fourche Reservoir Dispersed Camping
Super pretty! Great spot
Was looking for somewhere to stay the night after visiting the black hills, and so glad we picked this one. The water is absolutely beautiful. There’s two bathrooms on each side. The sites are spread out so you have privacy and a pretty sure each one had a metal fire pit (ours did). The first spot we picked (farther back) we couldn’t get service on our Verizon jet pack or t-mobile phones but we moved to one 3 spots away and had great service. The water is muddy close to the shore, so not perfect swimming conditions but you could. We saw some people swimming. Place wasn’t crowded mid July. There were bugs but nothing crazy. If I could handle them, you could too. I’d definitely come back!

Remote location
Due to it's remoteness, it appears some campers are taking advantage of the CG. Lots of trash and a pile of dog poop were left in a site vacated on my second day. Many other campers don't understand the need to put seat down and close door of vault toilet. There is no trash collection, so pack it out, please. Otherwise, this is a cute CG. No cell service. Water pump is provided but it's a workout to use. Sites 1&8 are the best. Trees for some shade. 1 has creek right behind it. Don't use GoogleMap as it does not take you to actual destination. USFS directions are off a bit, but are pretty good. Less gravel road if you come from Wyoming side.

Storm Hill BLM Land Dispersed Site
Nice Mountain Topper
It rained the last two days but I was able to get up the hill in an overloaded AWD. There were some pretty hefty ruts so choose your lines carefully. I rolled up pretty late, maybe 7p. There was only one other person here and of course they took the spot. The lower spot was a big mud pit and the upper field is overgrown. It looks like a fire came through here maybe last year so the grass has bounced back really well in some spots. Seems pretty quiet human-wise with lots of birds and big noises, which I prefer. Not too far from Devil’s Tower and a great spot for me to stop over for the night. If I stayed longer, I’d nab that good spot. LOL.

Beautiful view from a free campsite
Loved this spot! The dirt road right off the highway is pristine, not even washboardy. Once you branch right for the last mile or so, there are a few small rocks and ruts but still smooth. At the top of the hill, there’s a left turn that splits - if you go right, you’ll go across a big flat meadow and at the end find a beautiful site with a great view of Devil’s Tower. We were surprised only one other car was here on a Saturday night. We experienced intense wind overnight, but still loved the locatiob
