Medora is a welcome rest off the I-94 as there are not a lot of parks around this part of the country. Unlike the other park here, this park is away from the railway. Driving in, the scenery is outstanding. Unfortunately they had a summer flood here with about 6 feet of water in this part of town. Everything is covered with silt, which is dry and the dust gets everywhere. That is why I rated the park down. Office staff were great. Sites were big and fairly level. Everything worked. The washrooms and showers were clean but somewhat old fashioned. Yes the park needs updating but it is what it is. Know that going in. We slept soundly all night long. The town of Medora is interesting to walk through and the people are very friendly. Try eating at the Cowboy Cafe or the Boot Bar and Grille. Both are very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here 4 days 3 nights and the restrooms were dirty every day. Oil workers live in the area and the site is overcrowded. Laundry room was pretty dirty, worn out folding table, 3 washers 2 dryers. Owners look pretty worn out and not very friendly. Two other parks in town that I would recommend. Found the park in travel directory rated 2 stars. Pretty accurate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the previous review - the campground has a lot of potential but it needs a lot of work and TLC. If you want to visit the National Park, town of Medora and the Musical you don't have much of a choice. The roads were full of pot holes and the sites needed a lot more gravel. The sites are extremely small and you are very close to your neighbors. There are several trees, but we were able to find a site which would enable us to receive satellite. The Verizon service is excellent. A really good point about the park is that their Wi-Fi was excellent with a strong signal. The check in staff was young but helpful. We did not use the bathhouse as it was not convenient. It was located on the other side of the park. The only facilities on our side of the park were 2 porta potties. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I rated this park a "three" because of its proximity to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, its showers, and the fact that I did not feel unsafe while camping. Other than that, this park has little going for it. The sites are tiny, poorly defined, and poorly maintained. When we checked in, the young man behind the desk seemed to be put out by the questions we asked. The showers were hot, but the facility is old and needs a lot of work. There were no fire rings and the grills were all canted at an angle. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a decent camp ground, but it needs a lot of work. The roads and sites need A LOT of gravel to cover the mud from even minor rains. The river flooded in June and the place has yet to be fully cleaned up. The maintenance crew was putting down new gravel during our stay, but they couldn't keep up with the rains. On the plus side, the views at this campground are much better than the campground closer to town, and the train is not nearly as close so it doesn't rattle the rig when it goes by. The staff was friendly but mostly young in age so are still learning the job. One issue I found troubling was the first day we were here two large dogs that looked to be pit bull mixes ran into the park from the adjacent river bed area very close to our site. I hustled our smaller dog into the rig as it was on leash. The strays ran along the bank of the river and disappeared into some tall grass. I alerted the office and the desk person denied any knowledge of them but said he would watch to see if they returned. I left the office and walked through the campground to see a female camper put leashes on them both and put them into a travel trailer. I returned to the office and informed the desk that the dogs belonged to a camper that had apparently let them run free. I gave the desk the site# the dogs came from, and he stated that it must just be an over night person and would probably be leaving the next day. Four days later the dogs, the campers and trailer were still there, looking like long term with a lot of misc junk outside the rig. I really hate being lied to. The dogs were left on leash outside of the rig most of the days unattended. The rules and safety of the other campers were clearly sacrificed for the convenience of a seasonal camper. I would probably not stay here again for that reason. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First of all, we didn't stay at this campground, but we did drive through while staying at the Red Trail Campground, nearby. To be fair, this campground had recently been under flood water and was a mud pit in most places. They desperately need to add gravel to the driveway and campsites. What alarmed us was the condition of the outside of the campground buildings. They looked old and in very poor condition. We did not venture inside, but feel the inside must be about the same as the outside. The only other campground with hookups in the area is the Red Trail Campground and we gave it poor marks because of the filthy bathrooms and how we were treated. I would advise asking about improvements made to this campground following the flood of 2011 before making reservations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great location right by the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and near the attractions of downtown Medora. Office staff were friendly and helpful. About 3/4 of the sites were shaded. There were nice views of the bluffs and badlands. The power was good. Wi-Fi was slow to not at all, but Mi-Fi signal was very fast here. The bathrooms and showers were OK, not great. The sites were muddy and full of pot holes. The roads were rough with many mud holes. The grass was tall and unkept. The store was OK. There were piles of junk near the back of the park. Other than a great location this park was nothing special. We liked the other park in town better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located next to south entrance of Theodore Roosevelt NP and across from the “Medora Musical”. The dirt pads with small grassy area was hard to level due to the recent flood. There are shade trees throughout the park and you have views of the surrounding mounds. Full hook-ups with good Wi-Fi reception. There is no TV reception with antenna. Cell phone reception good. Bathrooms were marginally clean with individual shower rooms. There is a small convenient store and gas station in town that has slim choices at high prices- would recommend stocking up before coming. There is a public pool and tennis courts near the entrance to campground that charges a small fee. During weekdays it is quiet but I am told the weekends it is packed here. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are only two full service campgrounds near the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt NP. This one is run by a foundation. It is a nice park, not great. It is on the river, which is the problem. There was a major flood in early June. All the sites have silt on them. Not a problem when it is dry, but if it rains....WATCH OUT. You will need slip on boots for the family as the mud will build up 3 inches on your feet. This may be the norm for any place around town as the soil contains a lot of bentonite clay. Roads have some pot holes, especially on Bully Circle. As long as it is dry...it is great, but MUDDY when it rains and it takes a while for the soil to absorb the moisture and dry out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park allows easy access to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and this is why we stayed here. If the park was not next to the National park we would have passed it by. We found the park to be very dry and dusty so we did not spend anytime outside. The roads are all dirt and the sites are also dirt...no grass. This area of the country is dry and so the park would benefit from some gravel. The staff was very nice and also told us we could swim in the hotel pool down the street that is owned by the same owners. Overall, easy place to stay but be prepared to hide from the dust. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We tagged the last full hookup site on a summer Saturday night and then stayed an extra night. Saturday there were 150 units in the campground. Our site was about 25 feet wide with dry grass and leaves in the table area. With most rigs parked back to back, it seemed crowded. Everything worked, the staff is friendly, the dog had a great walking area in the surrounding community. We enjoyed the gentleman and his lady who sang bluegrass and country western songs until 10 PM. They have been doing this for 27 years. No green grass and density of units on the first nights prevents a higher rating, but 150 units filling the campground on Saturday says something about their attraction. We would camp here again.

Camped here three nights. Temperature was in the 90's so the campground, because of lack of paved or graveled sites and roads, was very dusty and dirty. Enjoyed nearby river to cool dogs off. The city owns and maintains this campground and could spend some money to improve. Grassed areas were also dry native grass. Very apparent the only water for lawns is by mother nature.

This is your only choice in Medora for full hookups. WiFi is available in the office area. There are some nice shaded pull through sites with decent spacing on the front part of the park, while most other full hookup sites are tightly spaced on basically a gravel parking lot with no shade. There are also some nice shaded tent sites here in the park. Be sure that you fill up with fuel and have all necessary groceries etc., before arriving in Medora. There's not much available in the way of fuel and supplies, and what is available commands premium prices! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here two years ago and again this summer. A new shower house has been added; it has 8-10 individual shower rooms. Campground looked better maintained than before. Sites are still tight: your slide-out might bump your neighbor's. It's crowded but everytime we've stayed here it's been quiet. It's very convenient to Teddy Roosevelt NP and downtown Medora. Appeared as though they have added a new area for larger MH's that need or like 50amps. Overall a good park for a couple nights, but you wouldn't want to go here to "get away from it all".

Site was $30 for 30 amp and water/sewer with a 7 day cancellation policy. I said I had slides so I was given a "wide site" which I think the staff had confused with the site behind me which was wider. My site was narrow and not very level. It was littered with sunflower seeds and cigarette butts. My picnic table which was a few feet outside my door was over the neighbors sewer connection (in the middle of the site) and they were pulling out when we were hooking up so they were emptying their sewer. I used the washroom and found no towel dispensers or hand dryers and the washrooms were not very clean. It was a Monday and the park was about 20% full and yet we were jammed together in a group. I wouldn't camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stopped here for one night, RV's are packed in like sardines, single uni-sex shower block, water pressure and electricity supply on-site good, and the laundry was a blessing. Friendly staff, but not a campground that we would choose to spend any amount of time in, one night was all we could stand. First time that we have eaten dinner inside our RV, we prefer to eat outside and enjoy the fresh air and scenery. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nothing special for your $30, considering the un-level dirt sites and overused, nasty co-ed showers. Place exists for the Medora Musical and nearby TR Park. They run a shuttle to the musical ($4) and nearby city swim pool is $3. This is really geared for families, with a playground and large tenting area. Too bad the sites are so close you have to breathe your neighbor's BBQ or wood smoke all night. Too many people sitting outside yakking over campfires til midnight. Don't know how much better the private cg, Red Trail, is but will take a look next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Medora Campground is on the west side of town. Pay attention to the mileage from road intersections or you may drive past it. They have a large over-the-lane sign but not a highway marker for the turn. Sites are dirt and mostly level. The campground is close to the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park's south entrance. The Medora Musical, a nightly western amphitheater performance, is across the road from the campground. Tickets to the musical can be purchased at the campground and they have a shuttle available. Campground staff was helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

As a previous post said this is a tired campground. The sites are tight, the showers were dirty, not recent dirt but old ground in dirt and the bathrooms needed cleaning. One thing I did like about the place is how they priced the sites. You only paid for what you wanted to use. If you wanted full hook ups you paid for it if you just wanted electric you paid less. If you just wanted water and electric you just paid for that. Same with cable. Our site had water, 50 amp hook up, and I paid and extra $2 for cable. Paved roads with gravel sites good free Wi-Fi and Verizon MiFi worked fine. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we pulled up to this park it looked very nice from the sites we could see out near the street. We were assigned a site towards the back of the park in sort of a wasteland. The sites were spacious enough but the area had a sleazy feel. The staff while friendly, were very unkempt in appearance and were wearing the same dirty t-shirts both days we were here. The Wi-Fi worked well in the morning but poorly in the afternoon and evening. If I were to return to this area I would stay at the national park campground even though it doesn't have hookups.

This is an average good campground. Some of the sites appear to be very nice with shade trees,level, and decent room between units. However, if you arrive on a weekend you're stuck in pretty crowded secondary areas. My neighbors sewer connection is a about a foot from my picnic table. Also its pretty much a back-in park unless you arrive when its empty and then you can drive through one site to another. The good news is that the guy who takes you to your site is a wizard in giving you directions to back in. The Wi-Fi is very good and they have a decent little store for very basic needs. Medora is basically a resort town so if you need it bring it with you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed two nights and showers were not cleaned once during our stay. Laundry room was disgusting. Old table with cracks to snag laundry on. Three washers two dryers for the entire park including long term employees of the oil fields. Campers were told that they are responsible for keeping restrooms clean and owners clean when they have time. Kids play area has a lot of sand and of course the sand is all over the showers and restroom. The owners were not very inviting at check in. In the mornings it looked like the lady just got out of bed. I would recommend this park to anyone who doesn't mind not using their laundry or shower facilities. However I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who cares about dirty restrooms, showers and laundry room. There are two other parks in the area if you're interested. Sent rating card to Good Sam. I give it a big zero. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an RV park with mostly gravel roads and driveways. The sites are quite level, and the services are good including strong Wi-Fi. It is well away from the highway so there is no road noise. There is a railroad about a block away, but there are no train whistles so the noise is minimal. It's a good spot to stay overnight or for a few days so we were pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't full. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Avoid this campground! We had chosen Red Trails Campground for our two night stay in Medora before we left Seattle and made reservations. We very much enjoyed our drive through both units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but the camping experience was both upsetting and distasteful. We arrived at the busy Red Trails Camp and checked in with the office. We were greeted by some powerful body odor when we stepped into the office and it didn't take long to figure it was a reeeeally dirty young man, who was there to guide us into our campsite. We followed him out the door at a careful distance and he gruffly pointed to the site directly across the drive from the office. If this site was 10 ft long it would have been an exaggeration and it was cut off by the curve of the drive. It had no picnic table and no room for even half of one. We did an immediate about face and protested to the lady behind the counter. She looked disgusted with us and begrudgingly reassigned us to a space underneath a very large cottonwood tree. I am sure this was done intentionally, because by the end of our stay, the truck and trailer were extremely sticky from the dense fog of tree pitch coupled with the cascade of cotton. Our rig looked as if it had been tarred and feathered when we left. But the real reason for avoiding this campground is the way in which it is run. That smelly guy in the filthy clothing, looked the same the next day. Originally, I had cut him some slack, thinking he had done some dirty work that day, but.not so. Their bathroom, with three showers and two toilets for each gender, was small for a large campground with that many campsites. Both the women's and men's were gross. I noticed the same disgusting deposit (looked like a dead mouse, but might have been a wad of dark hair) in the shower throughout our stay and thought of reporting it to the management, but when we read the camp rules we thought better of it. This is what their rule for the bathrooms is, which was stated in print: "Bathrooms: they are as clean as you make them." with the emphasis on the "YOU." We have camped for many years in RV Campgrounds, state parks and national parks and have never seen bathrooms that dirty! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I picked this over the Medora Campground (where I have stayed before) due to the reviews but I should have gone back there. This is very crammed and the bathrooms are not clean. There are a lot of people here and 2 sinks, 3 toilets, 3 showers is not enough. Also the reviewer about the train noise was wrong...they may not blow the horn but the bell ringing is very loud as the tracks are such a short distance away. There is also traffic noise. Being in a tent this is important. I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a cute family CG, 2 blocks from the downtown area. The owner (husband) could rub you the wrong way, but he is OK. He helped me back the Montana into a site that I could never do myself. The first person there pulls in, then you back in, they are not traditional pull-through sites. Other reviews talked about being dirty, we didn't see this. We would come back.

A good experience at check in and led to the site. Our site had asphalt and good access to the utilities. We had a minor problem with our RV and the staff provided insight to how I could repair. Made the repair at minimum expense which would have cost substantially more at a repair facility. Roads are not dusty like other campgrounds in the area. Would recommend this campground to others and we will stay here again if in the area. Easy access to attractions in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The restrooms need to be completely redone, in the mean time a good cleaning would help. The office area was a mess and there were old 5W's around. The man who led us to our site was friendly but could use a shower and a clean shirt. There is a much used train track adjacent, but the train doesn't blow the horn as it goes through town so not a big problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I chose this park based on recent reviews and it seemed like I was in a different park. The office and market were filthy as were the bathrooms and showers, among the worst I have experienced. Our site was by the side of the road, big potholes, mud, dirt and lots of cottonweed everywhere. Even if we wanted to sit outside in the dirt, our picnic table was broken. I would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here for a week. The owners are kind, easy-going people. We appreciated the small playground, newer and well working laundry facility and on-site convenience store. The sites are close together, but there are trees for shade. They have nightly entertainment that is low quality but charming. The Wi-Fi connection was slow, but reliable. We found this campground to be a pleasant place to stay and enjoyed our time in Medora. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was very crowded, through no fault of the campground. Every, and I mean every, other campground in the area was flooded out. Campground was very quiet at night, even though there were a lot of folks. Park is small enough that the owners know what's going on. Sites were adequate although not spacious. Folks running the place were very helpful, to include guiding us to, and then getting us in our backin spot. Small, though expensive grocery. Good for the forgotten milk or laundry detergent. Laundry available, $1.25 for wash, $1 for 45 minutes of dryer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a family-run campground and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The sites are generally shaded. Just 1 mile to Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit. Medora is a cute town and there are a host of restaurants and ice cream parlors within walking distance. There is a railroad track close by and you can hear the occasional train.

People very nice and helpful. Sites are close together. Have 50 amp and great WiFi. Good Sam Discount. Close to the national park. Well maintained for an older park. I would say it was the best in town if you wanted hookups which are unavailable in the park. The National Park itself is spectacular, both the South and the North. If you only have time for one of them, chose the South Unit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped here in an 'off season' after Labor Day and the town of Medora is pretty much shut down. I had read that you should get anything you might need before arriving. "Ditto!" There is only ONE "Convenience" store/gas station in town and that's it. Very pretty setting as you drive into town. This campground should be looked at and inspected. The bathrooms were terrible with trash cans overflowing (from when?), mirrors were all splatted and filthy, I glanced at one shower and the drape was half hanging off the hooks, the sinks were terrible dirty with soap bars sitting on soiled paper towels. When we arrived nobody was around, a board with our name and a site assigned was there - it was kind of a tight back in site and not very spacious sites, if you have slide outs. When we went back to the Office around supper time to check in officially, the floor looked like it had never seen water & soap! We had cable just fine, and we connected with Wi-Fi good, and site was level enough. They could spend a little time during this off season to cut grass/clean and tidy up! The campground was located very convenient to town - but they are the ONLY game in town, so take it or leave it and make the most of it! If you don't need their bathrooms, and need a place to park with cable and Wi-Fi this is it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is very close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is nice. Wi-Fi was very good. Dog friendly. Sites are close together and are gravel. We had to pay $2 extra for cable hook-up. The park is rather messy by the office and around the side. The staff is not professional as they were changing a toddler's messy diaper in the middle of the office. It wasn't a pretty site.

This is an old campground that needs TLC, and many of the sites have no sewer. We were way up in back, which was full hookup, big rig friendly and spacious, but all gravel. Best feature of this CG is the fact that it is less than 2 miles from most of Medora's many enchanting attractions. You need to stay long enough to see everything! No place to buy anything but western clothes, souvenirs and restaurant meals except for one convenience store (with gas and diesel). Bonus: They play and sing in front of the office every night!

We stayed here on a weekend, and were lucky to get a good site in this National Park town. This campground appears to be the best around. However, the campground in the national park was full. The staff here was very friendly, and we were not only shown to our site, but the staff parked our tow-dolly for us and directed us into our site. We were in a dirt site which appeared to be sort of an overflow, but had full hook-up and excellent WiFi plus TV cable. We heard music on Sunday night and discovered an enjoyable duo providing C & W entertainment. The park was homey in a good sort of way, and convenient to everything in Medora and the National Park. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park offers GS and FMCA discounts. The park is very near the Roosevelt National Park south entrance at exit 37 off I-94. There is good signage to the park. We were in a site w/o sewer the first night but elected not to move the rest of the visit. In retrospect, likely this was a good choice as it placed us on a paved road and gravel site. Some areas of the park are dirt roads and sites making them dusty or muddy depending upon the weather. The dirt is slow to absorb rain. The restrooms are rated low because they did not appear to have either adequate or thorough cleaning. They were adequate in size and given enough time, the hot water finally reached your shower. We don’t normally use these facilities but we had at the last 2 places where we found excellent showers making this especially disappointing. Depending on your site, you can get satellite on the RV. Verizon cell and broadband service was good. We would return as we did not see another park any better and would hope to get a spot on gravel off the paved interior road. There is a restaurant called the Chuckwagon Buffet in town. The breakfast is pricey but supper was about right. As a word of caution: if it is at all warm outside you may wish to reconsider this facility as their A/C is way too small to cool the dining area even when is empty. The facility had about 25 people in it and the room must have been in the high 80s. We quickly ate one plate of food and left. The Cowboy Café 2-blocks east is a much better choice.

The rest of the camp was nice. Music by office each evening. Close to town and T.Roosevelt N.P. Train was loud, but you get used to it. No dog walk area in RV park but could walk them in grass along the sidewalks. I liked the park in spite of the drawbacks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is next to an active railroad so the noise can be a problem for light sleepers. The staff are friendly and the park is family owned. There were small children in the office who ate pizza and distracted the staff during check in. The sites are fairly level and have patchy grass, the interior roads are paved and spaces are gravel. Some spaces have concrete patios. Our space has a very large puddle where we park our truck and there are carpet scraps on the patio that were left behind by a previous camper. There is litter in the area, the BBQ has cigarette butts and other trash in it. The cable TV is fuzzy and costs an extra $2. We have a "50 amp" site but the voltage drops to 108V with just the AC running. We won't be back to this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed in this park over the 4th of July and it was full to capacity. The dirt/grass spaces are double tandem with 1 foot between rigs with spaces close together side by side, a very closed in feeling. There was a mud hole at several spaces right at the entry door to the rigs causing a problem for days when it rained. Only one trash container location for the whole park. Limited sewer hook-ups. Poor dirt/blacktop access roads, narrow with a lot of untrimmed trees and tight turns. The park has only one pump out station. The town is within walking distance and offers a great sightseeing experience. There is a very loud train passing every 30 minutes all day and night. The owners are friendly and even let us wash our rig, and the price was right. We would stay there again only if we had to. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We wanted to stay at a place with Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi here was good and the general appearance of the park was good. I’d say the shower building wasn’t as clean as indicated in the TrailLife directory, and the sites are very close together. Definitely not the place to stay for privacy and quiet camping. We were really just passing through, so that was just fine. They had live classic country music every night for 4 hours, that was a nice addition to the camping experience. My kids even got a kick out of sitting and listening. They play old Charlie Pride, Hank Williams and Willie Nelson songs, and everything else from that era. We happen to be here during the classic car rally they have every year, which was a nice bonus for the kids to see as well. If by some miracle we ever happen to be back in North Dakota, I’d stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in Medora for two nights. The owner was great in guiding me into our parking spot. The area we parked in was just fine. The reason for the low rating was due to the condition of the bathrooms. The men in our group said their bathroom was clean but the women's was another story. When a bathroom is dirty people have a tendency to treat it dirty. And this one was gross. We thought it was because of the time of day considering all the people using it: but it did not matter if it was morning, noon, night or in the middle of the night, it was gross. If you stay here I suggest using the bathroom in your rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you want to stay in Medora, you don't have many choices. If you have a big rig, you have fewer. We had a "pull through" site, which meant we were the first to arrive in a double site with someone backing in behind us. They cram in as many rigs as they possibly can in this park. The showers, although "clean", could have been cleaner and had minimal services. The office staff was either very accommodating and friendly or indifferent and barely responsive, depending on who was there. Interior roads are tight but doable for a large rig but you might have to ask your neighbor to move a vehicle to get in or out of your site. It appeared to us that they turn away several-to-many rigs every day during the high season, so make reservations in advance. That said, we'd do Medora and the TR National Park from Dickinson (30 miles away) rather than stay here again. The packed-in sites and the train noise from the railroad were, ultimately, too much for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This rate was for full hookups with the Good Sam discount. Cable TV is $2.00 a night extra. This RV Park is in a great location about 1-1/2 blocks to downtown Medora and 5 blocks to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. The hookups & power were good. The site sizes fairly narrow but plenty of space for your awning & more. Bathrooms & showers were reasonably clean but not spotless. The office staff were very friendly and helpful. We received a golf cart escort to our site and guidance in backing in. There are nice views of the buttes and Teddy Roosevelt National Park. The park store is well stocked.

Price is based off a weekly rate with cable TV. This park isn't much, but the best in the area! The owners are great, nice, helpful and fun. Live music every evening. Lots of bugs, flies and mosquito's. Needed extension for 50 amp service. They allow RV and TV washing at N/C. Water taste good and has 60 psi. Electric good. Owners grew up in area and park has been in their family for 29 years. They know everything about the area. Few grocery items in the park. Make sure you are well stocked and gassed as this area has NOTHING. SC Wal-Mart is 35 miles in Dickinson. Same for grocery store. Roosevelt NP is great. Go out near dark (7:30 PM) to see the most animals. Bison are mean and aggressive, don't jack with them. We saw a brand new Suburban gored by a ticked off bison!

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 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.

This is a nice, quiet campground with private, roomy sites with a beautiful view of canyon. All sites are wooded. There are no amenities, but that's what we like as we are self-contained. Winter rate was in effect ( $5 instead of $10 ), plus we have the senior pass so it was only $2.50!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate of $2.50 reflects Golden Age discount. Nice peaceful campground about 5 miles out of town. The bison were in the campground and totally ignored all of the campers. Saw lots of beautiful country on the loop. Drinking water when you enter the park. Otherwise boon-docking. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at Cottowwood Campground in the South Unit. Campsites were large and well spaced but few were Big Rig friendly, as pull throughs were narrow and not very level. No fire rings - only elevated charcoal grates. The 36 mile drive was a beautiful, scenic experience. Loved the wild life. Bison frequently grazed their way through our campsite. Dry camping with flush toilets centrally located in the campground. Price was with Golden Age Pass. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

June 21st was FREE. Rustic, semi-level gravel drive through sites, plenty of trees but landscape could use a little TLC. Many mosquitos. Host was kind and helpful. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Cottonwood Campground in the South Unit. Nice place, but not really big rig friendly. We camped in a 35' Fifth Wheel, and there were only a few sites that could have accommodated it. We found a nice one (#35), but it was on a weekday real early in the season. The park is really designed for smaller units or tents. Purely dry camping, but sites are fairly level gravel and well spaced. Lots of trees, great scenery, and several wild horses wandered through camp one evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A great National Park campground. The RV spaces are big and there are pull through sites. We boondocked 2 nights here in a 32' 5th wheel. In the off season make sure your fresh water tank is full before entering the park as the water is shut off. The off season pit toilets were clean and did not smell. It is quiet and you can see lots of stars and the Milky Way. There are lots of great hikes available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I like this park for dry camping. The price is right and I'll pay the extra five dollars to get to travel at my age. To bad there is not a dump station, but I'm not complaining. The spots can handle big rigs and generator time is not a problem. I'll be back if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Golden Age rate. Only two drawbacks here are the generator hours, 8-8. Waiting until 8 am can put a late start on your day. No dump station, but there is a free one down behind an old gas station in front of the Medora Campground. Water hookups are not threaded, but the one on the left when you first come in has a removable nozzle so you can use a hose there. The picnic area is a loop if you need to turn around to get back into the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice campground. Many spaces for bigger rigs, but first-come, first-served, so plan on arriving early for the best choices. Large sites, good privacy, but didn't like the park service's location of trails to the restrooms, as many of them required folks to walk through your camp to use them. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great place to dry camp. It's a little busier that the campground in the North Unit and has a little more noise and traffic. Many of the sites were suitable for our 40 foot coach. We had a nice site with trees and a view of the hills in the distance. We parked on the other site of the loop from the restrooms. The only trails cutting through the center to the restrooms were in the sites on the inside of the loop, so these trails weren't useable when someone had the site. The campground gets fairly full most days and sees a lot of 1 nighters. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground, but no amenities. It was busy when we were here, but we were fortunate enough to find a campsite big enough for our 30' fifth wheel. Lots to do in Roosevelt NP and in Medora. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The off season price was a wonderful surprise, and the camp was very nice. We were alone in the camp much of the time. There were no hookups, and the restrooms were closed. Water and dump station were also closed for the season. Still, who can complain at $5 a night? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As in most national parks, TR is dry camping. They do have a handy potable water spigot as you enter the campground. There is no dump station. The sites are in a wooded area (cottonwood trees) and there are several that would take the largest motorhomes. Most would accept our 30' trailer. The evening Ranger program was excellent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very good National Park campground with some of the longest pull through sites ever seen...and in the trees! Be sure to get there mid-day and pick your site. The hosts are very helpful. I was surprised to get Verizon cell service here. Do the loop road; it is okay for motorhomes. Stay a few days or longer. It is quiet and peaceful. 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.

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.
