About
This primitive camping area contains 70 designated camping sites each marked with a 6" round post. Expansive scenic views of prairie and badlands attract many seasonal campers to this popular area. Camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Campfires are only allowed in contained fire pans. The unimproved road is rough with gravel, washboard, and small rocks on a natural roadway. Wet conditions make the area extremely muddy and slippery. There are no amenities available. Please recreate responsibly.
Fees: No fees are required for this site.
