Plenty of room out here to roam and enjoy some peace, solitude and beautifully dark night skies. There are some hilltops in the grasslands where you can see both the Black Hills to the west and the Badlands to the northeast. Horses, cattle, burrowing owls, prairie dogs, snakes, coyotes, cactus, barbed wire, wind and dust...what's not to love?

Plenty of dispersed campsites to choose from, but this is a popular destination and most of them were filled, even on a weekday in the autumn. I had a cold and quiet night, but I'd prefer a place with a little less traffic. Some of the higher elevation roads are quite narrow and rough...4WD is recommended. (I was camping in the area south of Arlington, WY.)
