We really enjoyed our stay at Buffalo Gap Campground! It was so peaceful and quiet which made it such a relaxing place to camp. Even though there were other campers nearby, it still felt calm and tucked away from everything. One of our favorite parts was nighttime the sky was incredibly dark, and we could see so many stars. It was beautiful and honestly one of the highlights of our stay. If you’re looking for a quiet campground near Medora where you can relax and enjoy some amazing night skies, this is a great spot!🌌
