Black Hills Camp/Hikes/Trail Recommendations

[JTLambert]

Hello,
My wife and I will be in the Black Hills from May 1st through May 7th
Were looking for some recommendations for dispersed or great non-dispersed camping spots,
Off road trails that a stock 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport can handle, and hikes or other must see items.

thanks in advance...
Jon

My folks went to Pactola lake and absolutely loved it. If i remember right it’s not too far from Rapid City and also Deadwood, but it is a reservation spot.

The pictures I saw from their trip were amazing. It would definitely be worth a look while you’re in the area

Hello,
I don’t know if this will help but Piedmont fire trail used to be a fun place to go. Also there were trails off of Nemo Rd, all this was many years ago. Hopefully someone else can be more helpful, sorry.

Thanks I’ll add it to the list.

Well I was hoping that would be a selectable link. There’s quite a bit of member posted info on sites in that area on the map. Hope that helps!

Needles hwy is an absolutely beautiful drive. Iron Mountain Road is as well. I've rode it many times. I forgot how many "pig tails" there are on that road. Think full 360 degree curve in the road that goes up (or down) at least one full story during the curve. I would imagine there is camping and hiking opportunities in that area as well. I believe it's in or near Custer State Park.

You'll have to look it up on the internet being I can't seem to get a pic to attach.
