Very convenient to go to Theodore Roosevelt NP, and Medora. Not far from freeway but I noticed very little highway noise. The host was helpful and friendly. There was a shower facility available and the site was level with a moderate amount of shade

Great spot, however the lights on the outside of the bathrooms were very bright at night making it hard to sleep in a tent at site 4. Darth the Ranger was great!

Perfect location just outside of the park. Very spacious sites. Was surprised by it having showers which was a bonus. Park host was helpful with offering places to eat and hikes to take.
