Harrison City Park (Harrison)
Harrison is the last town in Nebraska's northwest corner -- county seat of Sioux County, about 250 people, sitting high on the Pine Ridge at around 4,800 feet on Highway 20, and it is the natural base for the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument and the Pine Ridge country. The city park has three overnight parking spaces with electric hookups and water, restrooms nearby, on a free-will-donation basis with a donation box on site, and stays are limited to three days. Only three spaces means it can fill in summer, and it is first-come first-served, so have a backup. Honest caveats: this comes from the regional Discover Northwest Nebraska tourism site rather than from the town itself, which is small enough not to have a camping page, so confirm at the village office before you rely on it. This is genuinely high, exposed country -- nights are cold well into summer and the wind is real. The deal these towns offer is simple: camp free, and they hope you buy fuel, groceries or dinner in town. Be a good guest and it stays free for the next traveler. Town rules change often and we have not visited -- confirm current rules with the town before you go.
