Site 12 list as 65 ft but is actually only about 40 maybe 45. I reported it to the camp host and he agreed it was wrong. I don't know about the other sites but this one was way off on length. Other than that it's a nice little campground.

Nice campground host nice spaces. The water tasts and smells very coppery and the bathrooms and showers need to be rebuilt. Two flush toilots, one the sink dosn't work, exhaust fan works but the lights don't, peeling paint, ect..

Great practical campground for an overnight stop while traveling through western North Dakota. I stayed one night during a cross-country road trip and really appreciated having a comfortable place to reset after a long driving day. The shower was especially welcome, and I was able to clean up, cook dinner, reorganize my car, and get a good night’s rest before continuing west the next morning. Convenient for travelers passing through the Theodore Roosevelt National Park area. I’d happily stay here again.

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!🌌

Nice quiet place to stay close to Medora. No hookups but there is a dump and the price is right!
