All amenities were cut off, no water, no wi-fi. I talked to people in Town and it about dies after Labor Day, I would have thought they would keep someone on staff. I would try the Red Trail Campsite after Labor Day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The RV sites are really squeezed as close together as possible for them to get as many campers in and make as much money as they can. We were at the front of the campground which was nice - I would not have liked to have been at the rear of the campground as there are a bunch of dumpy, ugly mobile homes back there which detracts from the beautiful setting of the surrounding Badlands and the fun camping experience. Although the restrooms were clean, they are not that "nice" - it is dark and old in the restroom building. The campground location is good, little noise, very nice playground, city pool is right there adjacent to the campground, and you can walk down to the Little Missouri River and wade. The sites did not have fire rings, but did have grills. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an older city park. The sites are a little tight, about 35' between utility pedistas. Picnic tables are provided, but no fire rings. The office is only open from 10:00AM - 6:00PM. It has ample pull-throughs and back-ins for larger rigs. 30 amp hook ups are available, I'm not sure about 50's. There was water & sewer at our site, but only 20 amp electric. For a 1-2 night stop before touring Teddy Roosevelt NP, it's not a bad stop. There are trains nearby, but not too objectionable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground will do, but it sure is nothing special. Most of 50amp sites with sewer were in a separate parking lot consisting of dirt and gravel, no trees, and a terrible view. Most sites with trees and a small amount of barely alive grass are 30amp, no sewer sites. Glad I was in the separate lot since they play music every night that I could still hear from where I was when outside. Sure would hate to try to go to bed early if I was closer to that music. I think $35/night is too high for this spot. Goods things are that the staff is very friendly and helpful. They will even let you pay for a full week with big discount and will reimburse if you decide to leave early. Not many camp grounds will do that. Town is an easy walk from campground and not even worth getting the car out. I would stay here again, just think it is overpriced and the visuals here are not that great. Medora is very nice little town with plenty of things to do in the area. The Bully Pulpit golf course is a very good course and cost about $65 with cart to play. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean and neatly-kept park. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We paid the Good Sam discount rate for water & electric service. This is an ideal campsite from which to visit the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the entrance to which is less than a mile away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the first time we have stayed here. Although all the full hookups were booked we had water, electric and a back-in. This is a nice campground. The staff is very friendly and they escort you to your site and help you back in (they call it marriage counseling.) They have a duet that sings every night from 6-10. The campground is very close to the train tracks and you do get the train noise. Also, make sure you have plenty of food in your rig....there are no groceries in this town only a couple of convenience stores and they don't carry much. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed this park very much. However, it is a hassle to get water and dump. The water faucets in the campground (Cottonwood at South Unit) are not threaded so you can't get water there. We got water twice at the Medora Campground. The first time, the young man at the front desk let us have it for free. The second time the man at the desk first wanted $10, then came down to $5. There is a dump station right along the main road before you drive under the Medora Campground sign, so we used it without asking, presuming it is for public use. We saw a wild horse in the campground, and evidence of buffalos. Very nice campground hosts, accommodating to our request to stay beyond the regular checkout time of noon. Price paid reflects Golden Age Passport discount of 50%. Would definitely go back, but better prepared. This place is not for the biggest rigs although there were a few smaller 5th wheel rigs there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price is the Golden Age Access card. The CG is beautiful however be very careful when driving due to narrow road and low hanging branches. Nice campground, wildlife such as buffalo and wild horses were around. We planned on staying longer however the campground hosts had their own pet agenda and it became intolerable for us to remain past our 3 days. We have camped in many places with our dogs and never had a pet issue until then. We are very respectful of our fellow campers and always walk our dogs on 6' leads and clean up after them. Our first full day we toured for 6 hours and returned to find a warning from the host for a "potential" problem. We went to the hosts to inquire about the warning (first we ever received and this was our 4th National Park within 3 months we camped in) and what the problem was. They told us there were NO complaints so we were confused and asked for an explanation. They had their agenda and it was not pet friendly. The second day I stayed in the motorhome with the dogs while hubby played golf and the only problem was a family with 3 dogs that they allowed to run loose and pick fights with other dogs. When another camper reported the loose dog problem the ranger appeared and spoke with the offending family. He then informed me that if we intended to attend the Medora show the following evening we had to break camp and go to the show in our 35' motorhome with the dogs. We had $100 invested in show tickets and no refund policy so off we went to the show. We left the following day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow! what a great camp. Not a resort destination, if that is what you are looking for. We used it as an overnight stop, and it was perfect. Restrooms were clean. We were able to find a back-in spot for our 23' motorhome even with the park 3/4 full. BE PREPARED FOR WILDLIFE. A herd of Bison came through the camp in the evening, moving right through many tent and RV sites. They came back through the next morning, providing an exciting wake-up call for lazy tent campers. The herd has no problems moving right next to people and cars. We thought it was great, but we had hard walls to retreat to. Also met a scared snake early in the morning on the way to the restroom. If you don't like nature in your face, this is not the camp for you. We would definitely come right back here, but we like nature. We camped here in a Motorhome.
