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.
The best thing to say about Red Trail is that it is very convenient to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and it has full hook-ups and WiFi. The sites are very small and close together. We never even looked in the rest rooms. The park is clean and the guests were quiet, but it is not attractive at all. We'd only come back here if we couldn't find anything better near TR NP. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The place is not fancy but it is clean. There is a pool available for free but it is across town. The campground is run well and was quiet. There is a small store with friendly staff. The hookups were fine. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground directory (TL) said gravel roads. There was very little gravel, mostly dirt. For the price it was not much of a bargain. The sites are shaded, but not very even. Staff was friendly. We used it because of closeness to Medora Musical and Pitchfork Fondue which were both very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
There was no grass - just weeds and dirt. The campsites were very close together. You could hear the band playing from the bar in town. I would not camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We went before the season opened, so we got the $10 rate. Town wasn't "open" either, but looks like it would be fun in the summer. If you're a golfer, don't miss Bully Pulpit, it's a great course. Campground is right next to the south unit entrance to Theodore Roosevelt Nat. Park. Very good wildlife viewing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not very impressed with this campground. Most sites very close together. The bathrooms were ancient with peeling paint on the floors, but they were tidied up frequently. No choice of water temp in showers with such hard spray it stung. Had difficulty checking in because computers were acting up. We had a full hook up site but had to pull halfway out of the site to dump, they did warn us about it though. Our site was gravel with weeds and no trees. We would not camp here again. There is public pool you can use for a fee. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This a very nice campground. We prefer it because it is just west of town and outside of the congestion. All of the facilities are old but are well maintained. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very relaxing! The cabin was very clean and spacious, the park was right across from the Musical/Fondue event and next to TR National Park. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
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.
Well manage, family owned and operated, ever watchful to what occurs in the park. always around asking if you need anything, beautiful location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very good park to stay in when taking in the Medora musical and other sights in the area. Our truck broke down and they helped us find repairs. We will definitely stay here again when in Medora. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at the park for 5 nights. Great location for access to the town of Medora and to Teddy Roosevelt south and east units. Staff was friendly and helpful and guided to and into my site. We had water/electric/sewer/cable/wifi. There was a country/western dual playing live music every night, that was very nice. I would have given the campground a higher rating, but the train runs right by the campground at all hours of the day and night. I would camp here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground with wonderful staff. One of the staff escorted us to our site and made sure we were comfortable. Park is nicely situated near Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice park within walking distance of Medora attractions. The owner/manager was quite friendly and helpful. 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.
We had a great three days here camped along the Little Missouri. If you like remote areas with solitude quite time this is the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites in the back-in loop were not large enough for our 30 ft class A, the sites in the mostly pull-thru loop were bigger, some very long but the more wooded sites were not extremely wide in some cases. We gave up being able to open our awning so that we could open our rear slide and still keep most of the shade in the site. Routine caution is required driving through the two loops since the road is a little narrow and the trees and shrubs encroached somewhat. No hook-ups, no showers and simple bathrooms but we loved the trees and the wildlife in this campground and being right in the park and you can't beat the price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful campground although there are no hookups. Huge, wooded sites made this a wonderful stop and a great alternative to over-crowded RV parks. We camped here in a camper.
