Campsite commentary

We stayed in the Spearfish City campground for four nights and three nights in Theodore Roosevelt National park south and north units. We did not have a “bad” site.
Spearfish sites are all on grass with picnic tables and fire rings. Non hookup sites were not assigned, just find a spot you like and set up camp. The bathrooms were clean with flush toilets and complimentary hot showers with decent pressure. There’s a creek running through the campground that sounds lovely however it draws flies and mosquitoes. The city power plant is at the end of the park and offers constant white noise. Not annoying. Very convenient to town with all services. $30 a night.
The south unit near Medora had gravel based campsites and were well spaced apart. Some of the sites were actually on the pavement along the road! That seemed weird to us. Nice flush toilets. Many tent campers. There were really no services in Medora which we were told there were. Only expensive restaurants.
The north unit had paved sites and also modern bathrooms. Busy but not full. More campers than tents. We didn’t go to Watford City, 11 miles north. $7 per night with senior pass. We spent $141 on campsites on this trip.
