This site provides the history behind the system of the National Grasslands located across the West.While there is only one developed campground, there are plenty of open spaces to camp. Bring your horse, your bicycle or your OHV and spend some quiet time in the wide open spaces of the Grassland.
This is just a drive through stop. Beautiful landscape. We saw some wild critters running around, but no Buffalo. Go to Custer State Park for that!
Pretty cool landscape, although you'll be more wowed by the Badlands, Custer State Park or the Black Hills National Forest.
Get off the hi way and take this to the badlands or black hills.
