Rules of the raw dirt.
Welcome to Buffalo Poop RV Parking

Propane fires only — No wood fires, no fireworks, no exceptions.
Pack it in, pack it out. Haul your own trash and leave the place cleaner than you found it.
Mind your critters. Keep your dogs and animals under control — don’t let ‘em run wild or bother folks.
No black tank dumping. Gray water from showers is fine, but that’s it.
Stay on the designated areas. Don’t go tearing up the prairie — stick close to the roads and parking spots.
RVs must be fully self-contained. No hookups, no exceptions.
7 days max. Anything longer needs a chat with management.
You’re on your own risk here. This is private land. You agree to follow all South Dakota laws. We’ve got a real nice county Sheriff who’ll help remind you if needed.
Donations are greatly appreciated. Right now everything is run on goodwill and donations only. If y’all donate decent, we’ll add trash pickup, a dump station, and water fill in the future. Every little bit helps keep this going.
Thanks for stopping at the M Lazy 5!
Enjoy the Black Hills views and camp respectful.
The Reality
Three unbending survival rules.
Total self-sufficiency
Zero waste services
Honor system stays
Your rig must carry its own water, power, and waste holding. We provide absolutely zero hookups, outlets, or water spigots on this acreage.
Pack it in, pack it out. There are no trash bins, dumpsters, or dump stations. Every scrap of garbage leaves the ranch inside your vehicle.
Camping is free for seven days, but keeping this gate open costs money. Drop a contribution in the physical lockbox to keep the prairie accessible.
We don't charge a dime, but maintaining 160 acres of dirt takes actual work. If you enjoyed the silence, help us keep the gate unlocked.
