Thank you for the reference! Need this when we trek through the Badlands. Do you think we'll have any issues drycamping in Badlands in May?
Not if you stay on good paved or gravel roads. Avoid the dirt roads if there is rain in the forecast. If it rains and you used a dirt road to get to the spot you chose, wait until the road dries out before trying to leave. It only takes a day with sun. If you can't wait, don't go there.
There is a couple on Youtube that got stuck on a great spot right outside Badlands NP because they tried to go on a wet dirt road with a big 5er. They rutted the heck out of the road, and pretty much laughed it off. I refuse to watch another of their videos. Idiots screwing things up for everyone else tends to rile me up a bit.
One more thing, bring blankets, you just never know....
