Badlands BLM Area – Free Dispersed Camping

Free Dispersed Camping near Badlands National Park

If you’re going to the Badlands, this is the best dispersed camping area you can find! Located just beyond the Pinnacles entrance, you access the road via a BLM gate off of 240 (it’s to your right if you’re leaving the park on 240). Although the area gets a bit crowded, there is plenty of room to spread out, and the views are as good as inside the park.
