Beautiful logging land. Semi remote

I recommend this! Once you pull in there is a circular wide opening with logs surrounding it. A long road then goes into the land; I only followed it a bit until I found good landing spot to camp. Pretty steep and terraced land with beautiful pines and natural granite rocks. The beauty of the area speaks for itself. Important tip - take a screenshot or write down the directions before you go. Eventhough I knew the general area, I had zero service once I arrived (or assumed I had arrived). I couldn't open the Hipcamp app to check the directions to be sure I turned off on the correct "address" / land.

Fabulous!

Stunning views. Peaceful space. The perfect spot to stop on our way from Michigan to Grand Teton National Park. Would definitely stay again.

I spent two nights at this spot with my two dogs and didn’t see another human for 36 hours 😎 Peaceful, quiet, great views, and a dark night sky.

Perfect location! (Near MP78)

The Wilderness was the perfect day 1 camp spot for our group on our 3 day Mikelson Trail ride from Deadwood to Edgemont. It's near MP78 (just before Tunnel C) about 3/4 miles off the trail. It's on top of a knoll with options for sun or shade- we felt like royalty having 80 acres to ourselves.

Private and wonderful

2nd time here from 1000 miles away and for good reason. Private. Great views from so many spots at the site. The sky is amazing. Bring binoculars. Easy to get to. This time I used it as base camp for Devil’s Tower and Needles Highway and other local sights. As well as spent ample time at the sight. The loudest thing there was my tinnitus. Thanks again!

Peace and solitude

The views are incredible. The stars are out of this world if you pardon the pun. Daniel communicated well before and during my 5 night stay. I have a Chevy Colorado off road edition and an off road travel trailer and I had no problem going to the end. Finding a level spot will be a challenge at least for me it was. I did occasionally get Verizon if I went about as far as you could go without going off the cliff. My dog loved it. We saw deer and turkeys and tons of chipmunks and pine squirrels.
