"Excellent wifi. Host is super nice! Spaces are well spaced and the grass is well cared for. About half pull through and half back in. Close to 94, so some highway noise."
$45 / night
"Quiet RV park. The new owner is doing a lot of work leveling sites and putting in new infrastructure. Has full hook ups, a laundromat, and a shower. Close to a nice convenient store and restaurants."
"We pulled in after 9:30PM and the owner met us to show us our site and get us checked in. Sites were level, easy to pull through and setup quickly, however were close together. "

"No wifi. Could only get 2 channels for tv. Quiet rural area."
$12 - $54 / night
"We stayed in site 12, which was rated as an RV campsite, it was pull through, but the hosts said mainly they use that area of the campground for tents with the RVs across the street (RV sites 1 - 9). "
"This was one of several sites up a winding steep but paved road where trailers are not allowed. We had a very private site #20 with our own clean private vault toilet and garbage can."
$20 / night
"General: Small (37-site) forest service campground in two loops near Theodore Roosevelt National Park. No hookups or cell service (despite proximity to the highway)."
"Easy access, nice parking pads, have picnic tables and fire rings at each camp site. Offers RV dump and potable water in campground. "
"This was an excellent spot for jeeps/off road vehicles. Very private, lots of fun if you have dirt bikes or four wheelers with you to explore."
TravelerQuiet RV park. The new owner is doing a lot of work leveling sites and putting in new infrastructure. Has full hook ups, a laundromat, and a shower. Close to a nice convenient store and restaurants. Small creek had geese, a heron, and carp.
LegendClean and well cared for. Excellent wifi. Host is super nice! Spaces are well spaced and the grass is well cared for. About half pull through and half back in. Close to 94, so some highway noise. The water in Terry has a lot of iron, I'm sure it's potable, but it looks cloudy and brown. Not the campgrounds fault. Excellent value for going to see the Terry Badlands and Mikoshako. $25/night for full hook ups.
TravelerWe stayed in site 12, which was rated as an RV campsite, it was pull through, but the hosts said mainly they use that area of the campground for tents with the RVs across the street (RV sites 1 - 9). If you are tent camping, the upper sites are really nice and secluded (20s - 30s). RVs cannot make it to sites 20s - 30s because it is a narrow dirt road to the top.
It's dry camping - no RV hookups, but at the visitor's center they have a water fill station that is free. You can pull in and fill up your RV water tank. There is no dump station at the park, nor in Glendive, so you have to drive to Miles City or Wibaux to dump. We found a Cenex in Miles City that had a good dump station and it was free.
The sites were spacious, clean and affordable. Sites 11 & 13 had a nice view. The bathrooms were pit toilets. Very clean. No running water. Camp fires are permitted.
The camp hosts were really helpful and friendly.
We spent one day in Makoshika hiking the trails with our dog. We felt that 1 day was sufficient, but you could easily spend more time to enjoy the park, take some longer hikes, or play disc golf. The other day we took a drive to North Dakota to check out Theodore Roosevelt National Park, about an hour drive away. Well worth the drive. We stopped at Beaver Creek Brewery on the way back to the campsite and brought back a growler for around the campfire.
They said next year they plan on expanding the campsites and adding in some full hook-up RV sites and a dump station. Even without that, we plan on coming back.
I'd book in advance if you are planning on going over a weekend. The campsites were all booked when we arrived. We reserved our spot about 3 weeks prior.
LegendGeneral: Small (37-site) forest service campground in two loops near Theodore Roosevelt National Park. No hookups or cell service (despite proximity to the highway). We arrived on a Thursday afternoon in late August with no reservation and had no problem securing a site, although it filled almost to capacity by evening.
Site Quality: Many are in direct sun, but we found one that had some afternoon shade. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. All camper pads are paved.
Bath/Shower house: There were six vault toilets (two by the entrance and two in each loop) that had sinks but no soap; they were reasonably clean. Two showers were in the other loop from where we stayed, and we did not use them.
Activities: There is access to the Buffalo Gap Trail, but we did not hike it as this was an overnight stop for us and quite hot. It is not far from the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
It was hot when we were there (high 80s) so we just kind of collapsed upon arrival and took off the next day. The good news is you are close to the highway, but you will hear some road noise. $20 or$10 with the senior pass makes it a good deal. Cash or check if you cannot register online (no service with Verizon).
TravelerBehind the Astoria hotel, the Glendive Campground feels like an afterthought. If you need a place to stay for the night and hook up to water, sewer, and electricity, this place will do. If you can drive another 50 minutes (east), you’ll find more options in Medora.
Even in August, when I called ahead the front desk said they never fill up and I don’t need a reservation. No fire pit, there are about 40 sites and several are next to about 6 or 7 dead and leafless trees - check the weather before parking your prize under one! No fire rings, and this year the restrooms and showers are closed “due to COVID”. Seems convenient... despite MT being a mandatory mask state, the front desk worker at the Astoria where you check in did not have a mask and there was no signage. However, there was a sign that the breakfast buffet at the hotel was cancelled.
Many of the pedestals need repair and the vent on our sewer was broken off. I removed a pile of dead branches in order to pull our trailer into position. However, the reality is that you don’t need much if you bring your own equipment. I just wonder how not offering bathroom facilities to tent campers helps slow the spread of coronavirus... gives me something to ponder as I don’t enjoy any amenities offered.
TravelerCampground was clean and well maintained, camp hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Easy access, nice parking pads, have picnic tables and fire rings at each camp site. Offers RV dump and potable water in campground. Does not have hook ups and have limited times to run a generator. Great option close to Medora (7 miles) without the hustle and bustle of town. Very beautiful views of the badlands. Easy access to trails for hiking and biking.
LegendThis was a real gem. Very close to the entrance to Teddy Roosevelt NP, it was perfect for our camper. Big rigs would be fine there, but I did not see any drive through sites.
First we were amazed that it was open when nearly all state, local, and federal campgrounds were closed. Next we were impressed by the quality of the sites: clean, mowed, fire pits, nice picnic tables, paved road (and I think the slabs were paved?), but the OMG was the individual shower rooms with radiant heat that was motion activated.
There are no hookups, despite what other sites may claim. But hydrants were plentiful and the clean flush toilets and hot free showers made this a perfect place for you if you don't need to be hooked up to water and power. It was only $6 a night and that was not a discount, that was full price!!!
The interstate was just over the ridge, out of site but you knew it was there. This is I-90 in Western ND, so traffic noise was not an issue at all. The first night I was woke by a plane flying overhead, so you know that the Interstate was truly not an issue at all.
Actually, being close to the interstate meant being close to the park, which is fabulous. We loved the Grand Canyon a few years ago, but meaning no disrespect, this was a far more enjoyable experience. You have the color, the rugged creation, but you are going in it, and through it, and on top of it. Buffalo, prairie dogs, Big Horn Sheep,
wild horses, deer, eagles, warblers, jack rabbits, antelope, and that is just what we saw in a day and a half!
LegendIt’s a really pretty area! Very quiet. Great if you’re offroading. Pit toilet. No water, no other amenities. Only 7-8 miles from Glendive and 94! Weird little bugs that pack a bite for their size. And some flies.
ScoutEasy overnight stop when traveling MT-200. The owner was very accommodating and welcoming. We pulled in after 9:30PM and the owner met us to show us our site and get us checked in. Sites were level, easy to pull through and setup quickly, however were close together. Onsite laundry was convenient.
