Recently it used to be that dispersed camping was allowed anywhere within the Black Hills Nat. Forest.
Not anymore.
The most recent MVUMs ( motor vehicle use maps) restrict dispersed camping to very few areas along # FS roads, must be more than 100', not more than 300' from those roadways.
The premise from the BHNF is vehicle use Policing, refuse and restricting use to low fire risk areas, such as those with short grass, low density forest canopy, fire risk.
Our SD BHNF forest rangers report little problem with refuse, the larger concern is UTV use on and off designated trail use.
THE Side by Side UTV is the next target to restrict use of our public lands by the culprits who go mudholing and riding off trail.
Many areas in the BHNF are restricted to vehicles. under 62" wide, require a trail pass to use. In Wyoming, restrict portions under 50"
If the abuse continues, in near future UTV s recreational use will be banned
Heads up, visitors and users of our public lands, you must respect them and treat them as your own.
Your descendends will thank you
