Boondocking near Rapid City, SD

     Most of the time we find our free campsites at freecampsites.net but sometimes there is just nothing in the area we need. It's especially frustrating when we know there is lots of National Forest in the area we just don't want to drive back dirt roads with our rig not knowing what we'll run into! After asking on a Facebook group, someone recommended this spot on Taylor Ranch Rd and it was perfect!
     30 minutes from Rapid City and Mount Rushmore, it's kind of between them. We had no Verizon or AT&T service. This small meadow was only 1/4 a mile off the paved road and easily has room for 3 or 4 other rigs. We did drive on back after unhooking and DO NOT recommend taking anything other then a truck camper further.




Here you can see the paved road and our campsite.

Looking on back the road. 

Emily was thrilled that I bought orange pop :)
 
The kids had a blast exploring!

I was thrilled that we didn't run into any ticks, snakes, or poison ivy.

Watching a storm roll in!

Michael helped Emily up a very steep hill on the other side of the road. Poor Ethan just couldn't keep up!
     Here is a dropped pin of this location. I also submitted it to freecampsites so hopefully he'll have it up soon!
