This is an awesome place to camp, stayed there for 10 days in February in a tent only one there me n my hound. Notes got a lil chilly.
Please keep this area remote. It is very beautiful but the previous campers stored a 3 foot bag of trash in our only bathroom. Keep your campsite clean and pack out your trash Shout out to MN and ND, thank you for being awesome people glad to meet you!
Nice campsite to stay with many of the campsites along the creek that runs through there. No cell service and it's quite a ways back there. If you look up you'll see a flag waving up top of the neighboring hill.
As other reviewers have mentioned - roads can be bad, especially after a big rain storm. Higher-clearance vehicle (Jeep, truck, SUV) recommended. Campground is really nice and secluded. We went during the Sturgis rally and it was empty. No cell service, so plan accordingly!
My favorite campground. Bring a 4x4.
