Badlands Dispersed Camping? (Our Best Campsite!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2021
- Boondocking, Dispersed Camping, Dry Camping whatever you want to call it, we finally did it just outside of Badlands National Park just South of Wall, SD!
We wanted to stay here on our way out West but didn't want to just have to sleep then leave the next day, so we decided to camp here for awhile on our way back East from Idaho.
The Nexus Wraith Super C RV did a great job on the bumpy dirt road leading up to the ridge where everyone is free to pick their spot, on a first come first served basis. There is no fee, but please pickup after yourselves. (People who had the site we choose before us, did not do that, unfortunately.)
The views were amazing and it was the most peaceful time! We took the dogs on plenty of walks and just watched the beautiful landscape across the horizon.
After awhile we decided to pack up and head off to another spot. Mike was thinking of going to Missouri to the Lake of the Ozarks sate park, but the weather there doesn't look favorable so we haven't decided if we want to still do that.
Just another reason why we travel without reservations! We are free to decided where we want to go and change our minds at any time!

Don't you just love how open the west is? I always enjoy seeing people's reactions to the first time they see things that I have visited multiple times. I especially enjoyed this video because of the scenery, the music, and the drone footage. Mike cuddled with Guy in the front seat was touching. Thanks.
We love the West! Every time we are out west we love it more and more.💗 First time staying here though!
This is the best camping ⛺️ sight ever
Yes it is!
Thank you for taking us along for the boondocking, a wonderful spot to camp.
Thanks for watching! It was by far our best campsite to date
Glad u did this video... been there several times and have always seen that area to the left... we will definitely camp there in the future... ..thanks
It's absolutely a great Boondocking location as long as it hasn't been raining haha that could make it more challenging getting up and down the roads
I really enjoy watching the four of you.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate that😊💗
The views looked incredible!!! Safe travels!!!
Thanks! It was definitely a great stay
It really does look spectacular out there! Nice job on your first real dispersed camping experience. I may have to think about that when heading out west.
Definitely a great place to stay while in the area. We will stay here again. We just wish the East had more boondocking opportunities
Really like the videos you posted. You seem to really enjoy the RV life.... Keep posting!!!
Thank you! We love sharing them. Glad you're enjoying them😁👍🏻
Looks soooo relaxing, definitely my kind of camping 😁😁Safe Travels guys 🥰
It was! Loved how peaceful and spread out it was
I can’t wait for the day that I can get a dog again! I miss having them so much. I’m still working full time and I’m gone for 5-8 hours a day and that’s not fair to a dog. But as soon as I can, I’ll have one. Till then, I’m living vicariously through Piper and Guy. They’re my favorites out of all the RV’ers I watch. Thank you for featuring them so prominently in your video!!
Just get one. 5 to 8 hours is nothing. A lot of people work full-time jobs, including me and have dogs. You sleep 8 hours a night right? What do you think your dog does when you sleep? Adopt a dog and save it's life!
Piper and Guy are the stars! 🐕🐕 so glad to hear they're your favorite RV doggies!! They certainly live great lives haha
I can’t stand it! I have to tell you that we went there today, traveled that same road and were completely mesmerized! It is so beautiful! We went into the national park, too. What an amazing area! Thank you for making this video!
Pictures and video just do not do it justice! So beautiful
Hope you guys are enjoying your vacation and wish you all the best and safe travels from Rick and Pam from southern Ohio
Thank you! We are having a great time😁
Awesome job on the video and drone footage as well
Ticks yikes-
Nice trip :)
Thank you! It was a great stay for sure. So peaceful and beautiful scenery!
My 12 year old son and I will be camping there this July! Thanks for the video
Hope you have a great time visiting!
The Badlands are an underappreciated gem. We blew through our first time in South Dakota. We hope to get back next summer.
We agree they're just spectacular to just sit and look at😍
Good stuff guys. I like the area your in. I'm a bit of a loner, so that area would be right up my alley. Be safe....
Thank you! This would be perfect for you. There are a handful of other places we wanted to boondock and will next time
Great video ,awesome views
Thank you! It was an awesome camping experience
That was a cool spot ,Safe travels!
Thank you! We really loved the great views and peaceful area
Well guys another neat place to visit. I imagine you're back in Ohio now, hope you had a good time. If you didn't get to Missouri this time around you should get to the Ozarks some day, it's beautiful. Keep the good stuff coming.
Haha stay tuned
Yeah guys that was awesome. What a cool spot we’re going try it when we go thru next month on our to Washington State . And the soup looked yummy good Lynn . I can live on soup forever
Definitely put it on your list of places to visit!
The soup was so good.I love making soups. They're good, easy and last a few meals😁
Good video guys. Nice drone shots.
Thank you! 😊
Its beautiful, and I'm with you i hate those darn ticks.
They are so gross! Stay tuned for more on that lol
Very nice campground.
Thank you! It was a great campsite/boondocking experience
Holy cow! Beautiful spot. Need to find it as we've not camped along The Badlands...yet.
Yes you do! It's pretty amazing and pictures/video just don't do it justice
We are hoping to get to South Dakota someday! We would like to do some boondocking too! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
You will love it, we highly recommend it!
Wow! We’re here right now, and our “residency” address happens to be Americas Campground, where (it looks like) you found the dump station. (Haven’t even finished watching your video.) Hope you enjoyed your time in SD. Wish we could have met you. Safe travels!
I think that is the campground we were able to dump and fill water!
We have a crack head dog too...bully mix 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Beautiful camping spot you guys had!
Haha crack head dogs make travel... Interesting😂 this was an amazing campsite!
The badlands dispersed camping site was right where we stayed. In the morning when we left our awning fell off in the driveway. The shaft broke off the front arm. All those smooth roads.
Ha I wondered where that happened on your trip. Luckily everything stayed in tact for us. Just had to hold some drawers shut inside while on that dirt access road
We love the badlands, such a beautiful location. Although driving through ND/SD down some of the highways requires some concentration to stay awake :)
Haha it was beautiful! The Eastern side can be a little... Long, but not nearly as bad as other drives we've been on
You folks put together a good video, but the dogs make it great.
Thank you! We love featuring The dogs as much as we can in our videos🐕♥️
Wow. They took the gate down and installed a cattle guard. Yes. We have been there before as we indicated on your last video.
Yep no gates just cattle guards!
Nice editing and music!
Thank you! I appreciate that very much😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the comment!
@@WanderingWagners not enough thumbs up for how awesome this video is. We're heading for Wyoming as I type
Dang! I knew I saw you pull out of America’s Mailbox! You passed right by our Entegra Accolade Super C. I told the wife, “Hey, that looks like the Wandering Wagner’s!”
😂 small world! That was definitely us.🙌🏻
we will be in about 3 weeks...as long as it's not raining :) can't wait Lousiana to grand tetons, yellowstone, devils tower, mount rushmore, and badlands.
Yeah, on our way out too Idaho we were through the area but decided to wait to explore because it had been raining haha sounds like you have a great trip on deck!
We camped there a few times1 When it rains that slight grade is almost impassable with a trailer lol!
Yep which is why we didn't go here on our way out to Idaho😂 it had been raining and was windy as all get out! Much better when we returned to the area. If weather was still had we had a few backup places in mind instead
Very nice . . . You guys were about 250 miles North of my place! Devils Tower would be a good place to visit.
We had a great time in the area and can't wait to go back!
@@WanderingWagners Gering, NE is on the Oregon Trail and home to Scotts Bluff National Monument (which is just a hill with a parking lot on top! LoL
TICK CHECK!!!!!!
Constantly tick checking! I miss Winter camping😂
Great Video, did you have anyone walk in your campsite? Lol
It looked so beautiful and peaceful.
Haha no we did not😂
Oh! I don’t know when this was but if you can, avoid Hwy 83 in southeast South Dakota. The highway is completely demo’d and you have to go thru dirt via escort. Major messy and major wait for the pilot car, and we had to use 4WD towing our trailer thru there.
We stuck mostly to the interstate except going to Badlands so we didn't run into that luckily!
Mike. Check out Tablerock Lake if you go to Missouri. I live about 100 miles from it. Beautiful. Mill creek campground is awesome. It’s on a peninsula that sticks out and to table rock lake.
We will have to check them out to see if we can fit them in
The North Dakota badlands are pretty too
We haven't got to explore ND yet, but it's on our list😊
Hi from the northeast corner if SD.
South Dakota is such a beautiful state! Glad to be here
Wow, hey if you haven't already blew through South Dakota, I'm the Camp Host at Lewis and Clark Recreation area, c'mon and stay a bit if you can. Electric Only, but plenty of dump stations.
We almost went and stayed there!! There's so much more we want to do in South Dakota so hopefully we will be back soon!
@@WanderingWagners We're here from April 15th to the end of June every year. GREAT Park, lots of walking and hiking in a park like setting.
Sound great! We hope to visit😊
Did you stop by Mount Rushmore? There’s so much to see and do in that part of SD.
We almost did, twice but it looked to be super busy so we decided to leave it so we can come back! We love the area so we know we will be back 😁
Watched a video from that campground a camper blew off the cliff in high winds no one was inside
Yeah that is definitely possible, but it wasn't windy for us luckily haha on our way to Idaho we were in the area but decided against staying here because it was so windy and had been raining
I haven't read every comment but I think I'd be kinda scared for a campfire there, all beautiful grassland and one spark ...poof everything a blaze! Did you guys get that feeling too? It was just a fantastic view! 👍🇺🇸
Yeah everything was pretty crunchy and we did not have a fire. But at least people were smart enough to have a rock ring. We didn't actually see anyone have a campfire the whole time we were here.
I've heard ticks are pretty bad this year...
Probably the worst I've seen in many years
My sister and brother-in-law just came back from there they said it rained everyday
Luckily we avoided the rain! It was rainy when we were through on the way to Idaho so we didn't stay long.
Is this what’s called the Wall? I bet stargazing was amazing!!! I’ve read it is on a road that’s close to Wall Drugs and, I gotta say, I SO, SO, SO want to go there. It was in my plans for last year, but ... Would love to receive coords for the road, if you don’t mind. What about ND and the Roosevelt National Park?? That might be a good next destination, right? Ever been there?
The town of Wall is just North of this boondocking spot. We went to walk drug (and showed it in our lets go west video a few weeks back) it's mostly what we expected... Touristy with every kind of knick knacks you can ever imagine😂
We haven't done North Dakota yet but it's on our list!
Enjoyed your boondocking video of SD all though I have not been that state in over twenty years were you guys able visit some of the Indian reservations along the way they have some great art and crafts and culture?
We visited a few but nothing like we wanted to. Hopefully we will be back in the area for more because we can't get enough!
@Wandering Wagners - Do you have a LevelMate Pro? We have one and it makes finding a level spot like you had to do SOOO much easier!
Also... Mike, show some of your Ham Radio activity please. I see the HT antenna bouncing around right next to the top of the cab. 73s de N6UGP
We don't have a level mate pro but have heard great things about them!
How is the ride with the new springs some 8+ months later?
Pretty good compared to the stock ride!
Welcome to my state!! You're lucky it wasn't raining gumbo woulda kept you here for days lol. And you were in major rattlesnake country
Yeah when we were through on our way to Idaho it had been raining and windy so we decided to wait on exploring the area hoping for better weather and we lucked out! Luckily we didn't see any rattlesnakes here but can see why they'd live here!
We loved visiting the Badlands. KC8DKF
Definitely a great visit!
Great camping and great video. We have been looking at heading to Badlands/ Question, how did you find out where these spots are and how to get there. I've been looking but can't find the information or map.
I use the app "boondocking" to find BLM or boondocking spots like this. There are some general directions listed to help find places to boondock. This one was super easy to get to as.well!
@@WanderingWagners Thank you, This app is better than the BLM website. You guys are super. Have fun and wishing you the best.,
This is when the solar would come in handy
We do miss having some solar and have thought about getting some again but haven't decided
I might be making this comment premature but the only Badlands I know of is in my state North Dakota and a small part of South Dakota
Badlands national Park is just South of Wall, South Dakota in SW South Dakota
Does your rv make lots of noise going down the road.Raddling squeaking,etc?
Not anymore. Check out some of our newer videos and you can see what it sounds like inside
Out of curiosity when you first turned on the dirt road I saw a small bridge. Would that have been able to support a large diesel pusher bus conversion? Also if the bridge could, would a bus conversion be able to drive where you were without getting stuck?
That little bridge is a cattle guard to keep the cattle on the inside without a gate. They have them all over out west. They load the cattle on the inside of the cattle guard since they won't cross it. As to whether or not they will take a DP depends on the rating of the cattle guard, they come in different ratings but I'm thinking most will.
It's a cattle guard and they're even on the interstate exits and entrances to keep cattle from going that way. We saw every size motorhome and trailer get up there when we were there, but it is advised not to go if it has been raining
We stayed there May 5th, right adjacent to the cell towers. It’s a beautiful spot.
It is definitely popular, and rightfully so! We loved it
No Wagnered? ; - )
Not this time! But it was on the way when we decided it was time to leave. Not a good spot to be in the rain haha
That was a beautiful site. My wife would never do that. She’s a full hookup concrete pad kinda girl.
We love boondocking but we do enjoy a nice fhu site too
I understand they are going to limit it to 70 campers this year
I don't think we've ever seen it be that busy here, the handful of times we've been through.
Nice spot.I laughed when Mike said piper is such a crack head.When I saw the cliff I wondered what the dogs would do.Its so nice when you don't have people right next to you.🙂🇨🇦👍
Piper would definitely try to go down the cliff side so the site we got was better for everyone😂 it was so nice not having people right next to us but when you get that extra space you always want more separation it seems haha
I understand mice are a problem in that area. Any issues?
Absolutely no issues... Maybe having dogs helped. Haha we didn't see a single rodent
@@WanderingWagners We camped in Mitchell and also near Mt Rushmore but never at the badlands.
All the best to you both.
@@phyllisullery9963 thank you, Phyllis!
