Walking distance to town

We did not stay here, but they allowed us to use their dump station for a $5 fee so we had the chance to take a look around. This is a great option if you cannot get a site inside the park or if you want hook ups. They have several different styles of sites from tent sites to full hook ups and cabins. Some sites were in the sun, but lots of sites had shade trees.

Best Choice for the Area

Tried to stay inside TRNP next door but learned quickly there weren’t any hookups. This place had some harsh reviews on Campendium app however we found it delightful. The biggest woe here is that the sites are extremely tight. Our site was a pull in from one road, and the neighbors sites was a pull in from the parallel road, leaving us to share space - literally two picnic tables next to one another. Other than that though, gorgeous scenery well maintained sidewalks that you can hike or bike right into town. A public dog park at the end of the street. And our section was brand new. The electric poles were new. The sewer hookup at our site seemed a bit big but we have an adapter. Overall would highly recommend if in Medora!

Meh. Huge park, close together, okay amenities with no dog park

This is fine for a couple night's stay passing through. For the price ($60 per night) it seems like it should be better. Feels run down (except for the really nice office building), but is a large RV park that's packed. Kind of cool area close to a lot of things - probably hence the price.

Nice and Huge

This campground has about 1000 spots - and is pretty quiet given how many folks you're right next to! It's pricey, showers look nice and clean, bath house building is pretty new. Nice playground. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sites are pretty close together, but not on top of each other. Beautiful setting right next to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Near a neat town with lots of old west themed sites and activities. Most of the town and park are owned by the Medora Foundation. Looks like you can rent a cabin or a Calistoga Wagon to sleep in also. $60/nt for full hook ups.

Terrible

We camped here two nights to visit the park. It was awful. Too close together. Couldn’t even relax outside. I have to say it was the worst campground of our two month trip. Wished we would have stayed at Cottonwood. You can use the showers here. The town itself was mostly closed up, tacky gift shops. Blah. The National park was wonderful. Do not stay here.

Close quarters if you need electricity

Space is pretty tight here. We grabbed two sites, side by side. 305 and 306. We had a 3-person tent and a small pop-up camper. Not much room at all (see photo). There was basically enough room to share a picnic table and that was it. I will say the tent camping non-electric sites were bigger and grassier. But if you need power, you're stuck in a pull-through that offers very little privacy. Also, there is not enough room for both a tent and a vehicle, so we settled on parking the long way across the back and straddled the road.

The facilities were well maintained though. Check-in was a breeze. The staff were friendly. Super convenient location to everything - national park, musical, steak fry, downtown. All very nice.

Beautiful and peaceful

With mature trees near the Little Missouri River, this campground is quite lovely. Showers and utilities all available and we’ll located. The only drawback is my preference for space. The lots are small. Campers are lined up in rows which, even though efficient, don’t provide space for much activity. But who’s here for activity by the camper? Medora is a place to be explored and both the town and national park provide plenty to do.

Good location

Clean campground close to TRNP and Medora. The pool was closed when we were there after Memorial Day in near 100 deg heat. Spots are CLOSE together. It looked like some RV awnings were touching the RV next door. They weren't but it looked that closed. The staff was awesome. Access to Little Missouri Scenic River but no one was swimming and we saw a rattlesnack on the little walk to the river.

Awesome, All the way around

This Location is a GEM right outside the gates of Teddy Roosevelt NP! The town of Medora is a small western town and you can ride the whole town by bike from the campground in under 2 Miles. Tons of things to do and see and the wildlife is Plentiful in the park! The campground has a trail right onto the little Missouri river and leads you right under the huge walls of the NP. The Hospitality at this park was unmatched, and the facilities were also very clean. Sites are a tad tight but no need to be at the site with so much to do around. Definitely will visit again if in the area!

Nice camping very close to TRNP

Overall a nice campground...clean bathrooms and shower house on Little Missouri River, less than 5 minutes from South Unit entrance. Our only complaint is the closeness of the sites. Some are so close that awnings cannot be used We were lucky that we were in the back close to the river where there are some trees. Others at the front which mostly seemed to be larger units are out in the wide open gravel almost like a parking lot. Also be aware if you travel in summer there's likely a ban on any burning. We aren't even able to use our charcoal grill because of high fire risk in the area

Medora Campground - Close enough to bike into town!

We recently stayed at Medora Campground. It was too early in the season to catch the Musical however we rode our bikes into town, the local bike shop was great, and was able to fix my husband's bike! The Campground itself is on the small side as far as sites go but they are pull-through which was convenient for our 2-night stay. We were on a long trip and were happy to see laundry available on site, everything was in working order. The bathroom was clean and the people we nice. The location is right next to the entry into Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the visitor center. If you like Mountain Biking - Check out the Maah Daah Hey trail the is just outside the town of Medora. I would recommend having someone drop you off at the trailhead.

Good park

Great location right outside the park. Utilities all worked well. Beautiful walk down to the Little Missouri River. Train tracks nearby but they're not allowed to blow their horn through town, so all you hear is the low rumble as they go by, no big deal. Cons: sites are very close together, but that's pretty expected of a private FHU campground right outside a NP.

Great amenities, right next to TRNP

Great campground overall! Sites are a little close together (especially for RVs) and the tent sites are on uneven, rocky ground half the time. We went in mid September so the season was over and it wasn’t too crowded but I could see being frustrated by lack of privacy during peak season. You can hear the train at night, not a big deal for me but it’s relatively frequent and noisy. That being said the amenities are great - camp store, private showers, clean bathrooms, even a few tent sites with water and electric. It’s right in a scenic little cove and if you walk a bit there’s rocky beach access right on the Little Missouri River. It’s also walkable to TRNP which is fantastic.

Pleasantly surprised

After arriving late for a site in the Theodore Roosevelt NP we decided on this one. Since I have a small van with a bed I was able to get a nice tent site with plenty of room to spread out. Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean. Surprised to see bats flying at night it was actually cool. Definitely would stay here again.
