We really enjoyed our stop at Theodore Roosevelt National Park on our way to Glacier! Unfortunately for us there was a miscommunication with our reservation and it was taken, but the rangers were very helpful and allowed us to stay on the same site with the other party in our group! Overall it was a great stay!

It's the luck of the draw whom you have for neighbors. I had loud talkers and unwelcome light spilling into my campsite. Clearly, those people have no care about the campers around them. Its not the public library, but it's also not the gym.
$30 for my vehicle for a one night stop? Luckily I was there on a free vehicle admission day. I liked enough of what I saw and read about, that targeting this campground for a longer stay is in consideration, thus, no issue with the vehicle fee. Maybe I get better neighbors next time.
