Located 7.5 miles north of Grassy Butte on Highway 85, then west 4 miles. Turn south on road #824 across the green cattle guard, and approximately 1 mile south and west to the camp.

This fenced camp has 9 camp spurs and 4 pull through camp spurs. A handicap accessible vault toilet and potable water well are available during the summer months. This is the Bennet trailhead for access to the MDH trail, 3 miles west of the camp.

A day use parking lot is located west of the campground.

Peacefulness and serenity are major attractions of this camping area.

The Rides:

Since both rides start after your ride the Bennett Creek Trail two miles out to intersect the Maah Daah Hey You have to remeber to add four miles to your trip no matter which way you choose. The north ride to the park is sixteen miles total out and back this includes the four miles of Bennett Creek Trail. This is a good day ride with plenty of things to seen and some nice areas to play around. The south ride is up to you, and we will admit we have not gone that way yet but we will so check back soon(actually some time after march is what we are calling soon weather up here sucks) and we will let you know all about it, now on with the rides.
From the campground you go west through the swing gate. This is the start of the Bennett Creek Trail, it is about two miles of freshly made trail. It is rough in spots and is a little challenging to find at times, but not impossible, it is marked with it own post so you can just watch for them. After the two miles you will come to the Maah Daah Hey trail, here there is a mile marker sign that shows how far it is to the Park to the north or to Magpie Campground to the South.

The North Ride:

This ride starts with a climb to China wall, it has nice switchbacks and is very managable. The China wall is a very senic sandstone formation good for pictures and overall nice place to stop. From here it is all downhill until you hit a creek, Bennett’s Creek by the way, on the way down make sure and watch for a huge petrified tree stump trust us you can’t miss it (well hopefully you do miss it). From the creek it is a gently climb that becomes a rather long climb that gets steep and loose in areas but is ridable. Then you have what is pretty much three miles of downhill, give or take a slight climb (you can roll up them). This will bring you to where the trail enters the park and we are banned, this is a good spot to rest for a while and then turn around and do it all in reverse.

The South Ride: I will ride this section this year and tell you more.

Hell we don’t know none of us have gone this way. This should be update sometime, it isND so I cannot give a good date since the weather can very disagreable. We will give you our idea for a day ride south. You could go to county road 50 which seven miles south of the Mile marker sign, this would be a total of 18 miles out and back to the campground. We are just speculating but this probably would be a good day ride.
