B gravel pit.

1 site · RV, Tent1500 acres · Wall, SD

This ranch is the home of children's book author Cowgirl Annie. This site is in an abandoned gravel pit so you will be parking on sandy gravel base. There are cottonwood stands close by that you can hike through to the river. A wide variety of wildlife live in this area, so no telling what you my see or hear. You will have a big area to yourselves. I have tried to plan areas so you won't be disturbed by other campers. Wall Drug and the Badlands National P 02ark are about a 20 minute drive.

Overview

About

Time travel back to the Cold War when you visit this national historic site. Realistic exhibits help you understand the realities of today's nuclear world in the light of history.

Start by watching the fascinating film at the Visitor Center. Then take off on the 15-mile drive to visit the various sites. You'll get a real sense of what it was like to live waiting for a call you hoped would never actually occur. If you're lucky, you may even get a tour led by someone who staffed the missile silos back in the day. You may be surprised (and a little shaken) to learn about the many near-miss mistakes that almost resulted in a launch.

Make reservations in advance if you want to see the launch facility. The tiny site only holds six people at a time. This part of the tour is well worth it. When you visit this national historic site, you're basically at the entrance to the Badlands (also not to be missed). There's plenty of Hipcamping options nearby. Whether you prefer glamping, staying in a safari tent on a platform, or RV camping, Hipcamp has you covered.
