This is a nice paved road campground in a beautiful setting. It is close to Theodore Roosevelt national park. There are no hook up but sites spaced a good distance apart. Would stay here again

Concern with low hanging branches as we are 'tall'. The slope of the site was a bit steep. Beautiful views! Gorgeous area. The dump station was closed so that would be an issue for some. The bathhouses were clean. Great camp host!

Beautiful campsites with lots of tree cover and well maintained. Clean bathrooms and showers were a real treat. Grand view of the Prarie from the lookout above the campground.

What's not to like about this little campground.$10 a night for a senior to camp with nice clean showers. It was well manicured with paved campsites. Most of them were very private. Yeah there's no electric but what do you expect for the price. Very shady and not far from Theodore Roosevelt national Park. Could use someone refill in the toilet paper a little more often though.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The campground is a very short drive from Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The actual campground was very clean. Our site was grassy and shaded with plenty of room to spread out and a nice picnic table and fire ring. There was plenty of room in between the sites. Bathrooms and showers were basic but functional and clean. Bathing facilities are co-Ed, with separate rooms for each toilet and shower. The skies at night were really dark, lots of stars to be seen. There is no camp store. Ice and wood were also not available at the campground so plan ahead. We got both at a store in Medora. Potable water was a very short drive across the campground. My only complaint was the flies, bring a screen house to put over the picnic table to keep them off the food. Despite the flies, if we lived closer this would be on our regular rotation of places to camp.
