Near Badlands National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the White River Visitor Center.
Lawrence Ranch is located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Much of our ranch is grazing land and crop land that are leased out as our family is no longer actively ranching.
Our camp sites are up near the ranch house, but you're welcome to hike the ranch property. Lots of animals are about - deer, coyotes, skunks, prairie dogs, birds, and the occasional mountain lion. While we're not quite as dark as a dark sky park, it's very dark here, and the sky watching is superb. We're on the edge of the badlands, and the land is hilly, with a creek, hills, and buttes. A water spigot is available for campers to get water near the old corral.
We are just 15 minutes' drive from the Wounded Knee Memorial, 20 minutes from the Lakota Art Space & Oglala Lakota College Heritage Center, and 35 minutes from the Heritage Center at Maȟpíya Lúta (formerly Red Cloud Indian School). We're also about 20 minutes from the Badlands National Park. About 90 minutes driving brings you to Rapid City, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, and all the sight seeing in the Black Hills.Site 1, Wanzi, is a flat grassy area approximately 110 feet X 40 feet. It is near a spigot for potable water. This site is near a hay field. There are opportunities to hike, climb buttes and view wild life.
