Wonderful park setting next to the Little Missouri River (not much water right now). Bison walking through our campsite at wake-up time (we kept our distance when out of the camper). Facilities were well maintained and clean. It is off season and with senior pass it cost us $2.50 for the night. Wish we could say that every night. Recommend! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This national park easily falls into the "DO NOT MISS" category. The scenery and wildlife are as close to what must have been 100 years ago as you can get. The campground has 2 loops, back-in and pull-through. The back-in loops all seemed too small for our 23 ft trailer, so most rigs will need one of the 37 pull-throughs. All of these are very private, many are mindbogglingly long. No hook-ups, but potable water spigots are conveniently placed between sites. Our tour of the scenic loop was interrupted by group of bison that just didn't want to move off the road, so we ate lunch in the truck and stared at each other for a while. Great scenery, hiking and ranger programs. If you go after Labor Day, the nearby town of Medora is starting to shut down a bit, so provision before you come. Worth every minute it takes to get here! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was great! We drove around the park in the morning looking for open sites, as they are all first come first serve, and found several nice sites available. The sites were very private; you couldn't see your neighbors while sitting by the grill/firepit area. The other really nice thing about this park is that you can run your generator from 8am-8pm. This was really nice, as you were able to use the power if needed during the day, but it was extremely quiet during the night. Since you were already in the park, it was easy access to get to the scenic route, which allowed us to drive during the best parts of the day and see a lot of wildlife. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.
