    Solo Camping Trip - Black Hills, Buffalo Grasslands, Thunder Valley Grasslands

    Not sure exactly where you're going to be, but there is dispersed camping, on a cliff, with a great view of Badlands National Park off highway 240, just south of Wall. I stayed there the first week of July, and the view was breathtaking. Let me know if you would like exact coordinates.

    Camp Photos!

    Took a 10 day trip through 10 states, to see Mt. Rushmore and 5 National Parks. We camped every night except one (grizzly bears). All places were free, and found using an app. Not sure if I can name it here. Here are pics of some of the better places we stayed. Primitive campsite in...
