Nomad View Dispersed Camping

I was here 14 days, 6/21-7/5. Like everybody has stated, the view is amazing. It's clean and usually spread out. Goes for a long ways.

But I give it three stars only for what you have to endure during your stay;

Storms...the storms here are BRUTAL! Two separate nights, severe thunderstorms ripped through here. And I mean severe. One warning I received stated 90mph winds and I believe it. The valley was a light show and the rain lateral. Couple tents near me, and I felt so sorry for them to go through that. Then another late afternoon, hailstorm came through with strong winds. Quarter-size hail pounding into my trailer and truck. Came through once for close to ten minutes, stopped, another wave about 10 minutes later leaving my truck and camper damaged. You can't go by the forecast for this area because it changes constantly.

Sun...When the sun is out, it is hot if you don't have any shade. None is provided in the area. You need an awning, screen tent or a makeshift with a tarp. Hot.

Wind...it's always windy. Refreshing when in the sun, but if it's cloudy and the temps drop, it's unbearable.

Road...the dirt here is like a clay. After a storm, it's not mud, but a slippery clay. One class c I saw had to call a tow truck to winch them out from their spot. Wheels were just spinning.

All in all, it's a must stop for the view. Just be aware of the elements here.

Here are my main points of negativity:
1. The road in is treacherous for big rigs. The first entrance has a huge incline you simply cannot pull a rig up without 4wd. Our F450 dually even struggled with our 44' fifth wheel. The second entrance gets extremely rocky and bumpy.
2. The flies are insanely rampant. We put 3 fly traps up and caught about 30 flies in 1.5 days. There were swarms of hundreds outside our rig.
3. The thunderstorms are horrible. Wind nearly ripped our awning toppers off even with the sides closed.
4. The heat is unbearable and you can't use awnings because of aforementioned wind.
5. Cows are cute, but come and damage anything and everything they can get their mouths on. Prepare to get woken up at 6 am by them some days.

But the views are incredible. That's enough to justify a short trip here. The ideal setup for this is a vanlifer or very small camper. 4wd is almost essential.

This place is absolutely stunning. It’s so cool being with so many other fellow campers. I advise taking the first left into the ridge about 100 yards before the radio tower it is a LOT smoother, the road across from the tower is a mess.

Absolutely beautiful location to camp. Sunrise was breathtaking! Verizon cell service was good. Traveled in a Chrysler Pacifica. Accessed via a long gravel road with several bumps and uneven terrain. Large RVs were able to access the area with caution.

This is a beautiful, private boondocking location a few miles from Badlands National Park. Primitive sites, with no toilets, water or electricity. Very windy, so campfires weren’t possible. Roads get very treacherous with rain. That said, campsites are right on the prairie, overlooking a canyon of buttes. Gorgeous views for the adventurous spirits out there!

This was a phenomenal spot for camping! Stunning views and very easy to find and access. The only downside is many of the pullouts are not very level, which isn’t really a problem as long as you don’t mind a slight tilt. It is posted that campfires are not allowed which was a slight bummer as we were planning on cooking over the fire, but with the cold weather we were more than happy to sit in the warmth of our RV and cook inside. Very clean and spacious sites. Far enough from any roads that it was super quiet. The only thing you will hear is the occasional neighbor driving past your site.

WOW!!!!! Plenty of space for lots of rigs big and small. Awesome place for sure!!!

Awesome! Great views, you can set up anywhere in the grassland! So much space. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an awesome place to camp.🤠

Looking west you can see the grassland go on for miles and looking west you look over the badlands. The road is a little bumpy but other than that it’s no problem getting to.

We arrived early on Friday of Memorial Day weekend and found a spot where we settled in for two days and one night. There were quite a few other campers enjoying the area, but it is such a big area that everyone kept their distance. The views were gorgeous and the quiet atmosphere was just what we were looking for! As you will see in other reviews, it is windy. If you can get past that, you will love it!
