the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Adjacent to Spearfish Creek Hanna Campground is adjacent to the spruce-lined east Spearfish Creek and has 13 sites available during the regular season. The campground is within the Spearfish Canyon management area, but not located directly within the Canyon proper. The drive in side of the campground for RV's and trailers is closed for the season but there are walk-in tent sites that are open and available year-round (Please Note: the tent sites are available for use when the gate is closed). Parking for the tents are the two road pullouts near the foot bridges. Keep reading

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $24 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($24), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
