Black Hills National Forest's Spring Creek Road Spur is a free, drive-in dispersed site along a road corridor where a creek runs alongside the camping area. No campfires are permitted, signs throughout the area make that restriction clear. Campers with pets have used this spot when lodging options in the region fell through. Reviewers note that driving past the first visible pullouts leads to better sites further along. Oreville Campground sits roughly 1.6 miles northeast for those wanting a more developed setup, and boondocking near Black Hills National Forest turns up additional free options in the surrounding area.
