"When staying at dispersed camp sites, the addresses can sometimes be tricky. When exiting the highway and driving through town to SD 240, keep an eye out for an open cattle gate with rvs, cars, and tents set up on the hillside. Feel free to enter and find your favorite spot to camp!
NOTE: There are no amenities at this camp site. Town is only 10 minutes away with everything you need. Cell service can be spotty.
Coordinates for easier navigating:
43.89310 N, 102.23854 W"
