We had a site reserved but it was taken when we arrived, and no one on site to make it right.

This is our second visit to Buffalo Gap Campground. Nice big and spaced out campsites. Good facilities including the shower house. There is a little road noise from the interstate but barely noticeable. Stayed here for Maah Daah Hey 100 and it is very convenient to Medora.

The picnic tables are unable to be moved so the 90+ degree day meant sitting in more sun or sitting behind the tent on the grass. The bathrooms were fine we did not use the showers. More shade would be great.

Really nice paved sites. Some had more slope front to back than ideal. Quieter than expected for being close to Interstate. Showers and flush toilets were a nice surprise. Nice scenery. Only knock was all the noxious weeds: Hounds tongue, Canada Thistle and some Leafy Spurge that infested the woody draw running thru the campground. Had to pick burrs out of the dogs tails.

If you are in Medora, you would be well served to stay here. The well maintained showers make it a 5 star stay.

Buffalo Gap worked out great for me. I was able to go to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library dearly in the morning and get back to camp in time to shower before checkout. I feel that Buffalo Gap is a great staging campground for the many opportunities in Medora and the larger Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The camp host was also very friendly and helpful.

Close to Medora. Sites are large. Facilities were very clean. Only downfall was hearing the highway at night but there wasn't heavy traffic and it didn't disturb our sleep.
