Cottonwood campground

For what it is, I give it a 5 star. But, there is no dump station. It does have a potable water station for your RV. We had no reservations and were able to get a nice spot for our 23ft trailer. It’s very quiet at night and the campground is very clean! The town of Medora has events going on all the time. We ate at the “Little Missouri”. They had great food and reasonably priced. We stayed 3 nights at this campground, I think 2 nights would be perfect. We saw Bison and wild horses.
