Boots Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting just outside Medora on a hill with open sightlines across the North Dakota badlands, Boots Campground runs on a hands-off model. There is no on-site office, check-in is handled digitally, and the owner communicates primarily through messages. As Wayne K. puts it, it's "a private campground with very little interaction with staff." That setup works smoothly for self-sufficient RV travelers who know what they need and just want to plug in.

Full hookups are the main draw, with electric, water, and sewer connections available for rigs up to 50 feet, plus WiFi on site. Verizon cell service has tested reasonably well for multiple visitors. What the campground does not include is worth noting: no picnic tables, no fire rings, and no campground lighting beyond what campers bring themselves. Sites sit close together, and several reviewers flag uneven ground as a real consideration, particularly for longer rigs that require precise leveling.

The access road coming south out of Medora is steep but paved. Timing matters here too: Medora's seasonal attractions, including the nearby entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, don't fully open until early June, so spring visits may find limited activity in the surrounding area. Campers wanting more natural surroundings or a different site configuration can compare options at Sully Creek State Recreation Area or Rough Rider State Park Campground, both within a mile. Boots works best for RV travelers using it as a functional base camp rather than a destination in itself.

Level sites

A private campground with very little interaction with staff (ok with me).
If you are planning to visit Medora, ND be sure and check when things open! Not much going on until first park of June, but it was nice and calm!
At the campground we had everything we needed. The views aren’t bad, but not like being in a more wilderness like campsite. The hill coming south out of Medora is steep, but paved and doable. Camp sites are mixed with cabins (set trailer houses with wood siding) and it could be a bit tight when busy. Had no problems, all went ok!

Good for stop over

Good location, pretty. Sites are small, tight and un-level. Close to Theodore Roosevelt NP. Good cell reception. Good for stop over only. Site 2 gives you room to park and put chairs out, some of the others are so close you can almost touch your neighbor standing in your door!

Not sure what to say or rate

We pulled in at 830 pm and immediately noticed the few campers that were parked had no lights on. We could barely see where our spot was as There was no check in, you just go right to your spot. I typically like to check in and meet the people who run it to get a good layout and understand the vibe of the campground. We had site 12 I believe and we got a spooky vibe when we pulled up to it. It is literally 5 feet from a cabin that had huge window and a door that lead right to our driver side rv door. It just felt a little weird to have to hook up in the dark with no lights around us except our own headlamps and wonder if someone was inside watching us from their window. The spot was also very visible from the road so that also spooked us that people were driving by seeing us get ready next to a very dark cabin. Hind sight it was probably a fine campsite but I always say trust your instinct so we left. Something just felt slightly off, especially in the dark right next to a very long and dark cabin that anyone could have been in.

That being said, the ground was also fairly uneven and it is a very basic campground. It seems it was more for cabins and someone just decided to hookups and no picnic tables

I bet the views are nice and the people staying are probs great too! Again it just felt a little off so we left so I can’t honestly give this a fair rating

Very basic with full hookup

Very close to neighbors and site 7 is very hard to get level. We had to buy more leveling blocks. We're pro members and couldn't figure out how to get the pro discount. No tables or fire rings. Just hookups.

Great location with great views

Stayed here while visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The location is great as the park entrance is just a few miles away, along with the gateway town of Medora. Reservation and check in was all digital which was nice. There is no office on site, but we didn’t need anything. The owner is very responsive to messages. Great views of the surrounding area. WiFi was decent as was Verizon cell service. Full hookups for RV and everything worked great. Only thing that left us wanting a little bit was the spots were a bit close together and there are no picnic tables or fire rings. The price per night was lower than other campgrounds though. Overall great experience and would stay there again.
