Best RV Parks & Resorts near Belfield, ND

Several RV parks serve the Belfield area with varying amenities and space configurations. American RV Park offers 20 RV sites with electric, sewer, and water hookups, while Trappers RV Park provides 25 sites with electric hookups and shower facilities. The Crossings Campground, located in Belfield, features 35 sites with full hookups including 50-amp service. North Park Campground in Dickinson, approximately 15 miles east, provides pull-through sites with full hookups that accommodate larger rigs. Sites throughout the region tend to be relatively close together, particularly in Medora where spacing can be tight. "The spots are CLOSE together. It looked like some RV awnings were touching the RV next door," noted one visitor about Medora Campground.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park's southern entrance lies within 30 miles west of Belfield, making the area a popular base for exploring the badlands. RV travelers should note that hookup availability varies significantly between parks, with some offering only basic electric while others provide full service connections. Dump stations are limited in the immediate area, with some campgrounds charging additional fees for this service. Cell reception can be inconsistent, particularly closer to the national park. For RVs requiring 50-amp service, advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months when tourism peaks. Most campgrounds in the region remain operational from May through September, though weather conditions can affect early and late season availability. One camper advised, "Make sure you bring plenty of sewer hose if your RV is any size. The same goes for electric and water hose."

    Cottonwood Campground — Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    Bison

    Cottonwood Campground is a very nice flat campground with many sites. Some allow for pull through others for back ends. There’s also a nice tent space. The cost for a back and was only 20 bucks for the night which we thought was pretty good. There’s a picnic table and a charcoal grillavailable. There is no fire pit. I’m able to get some good signal with Starlink despite some of the trees. There are bison in the area, including one that was roaming in the campsite. It’s a beautiful park and a beautiful campground. There is water, but I have not yet found a dumping station at this site.

    Cute family run

    Cute family run campground. Pet friendly, close to town, nice little store and friendly! Each site has a grill and picnic table. Most sites gravel - our site was very level. Water pressure is good!

    Cottonwood Campground — Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    Convenient base to explore Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    Two loops; the north loop is open year-round. The south loop is open mid-May through September. There are also walk-in sites and a group site, off the south loop. The campground fills up almost every day in the summer, even during the week. Odd-numbered sites are reservable while even number sites are first-come, first-served. We were not able to get into the site we had reserved (a nice pull-through with views of the bluffs and the river) because the people staying there the night before were having difficulty with their RV and not able to move it. We had been re-assigned to Site 38, a much larger site, but among the trees with no view. We were bummed but had no choice as the campground was full. We thought we might try to move the next day, but it turns out friends were able to join us, so our large site ended up being to our advantage. The pull-through in Site 38 was so large that it could have easily accommodated three large Class A motorhomes with room to spare! Large picnic table that was pushed up against the trees; we discovered the next afternoon that it was to take advantage of as much shade as possible. No fire ring; campfires are permitted in charcoal bbq grates or fully contained fire pans. Wood was not available to purchase at the campground; you must go to Medora(about five miles away) to purchase or you can collect dead and down firewood. Bathroom was clean enough with flush toilets but NO SOAP! No showers but we didn’t expect them in a National Park campground. Several very short trails in the park but the most popular Petrified Forest Trail is accessible from outside the park. Saw bison, prairie dogs, pronghorn antelope, wild horses.

    Camp On The Heart

    Nice park for a short stay

    $30.00 a night gets you full hook up and a nice place to park your rig. Nomad campers have a separate section apart from the long term campers. Short term have the best view of Heart River. My only complaint would be the very rough gravel entrance road. Just go slow and all will be fine!

    Medora, North Dakota, 40 minutes west, is Home to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Medora Musical Theatre. I highly recommend both and the Musical will renew your passion for our great country!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Sully Creek State Park — Sully Creek State Recreation Area

    One of our favorites of our trip

    We really enjoyed this campground. We had a back-in site that had a little bit of shade. There are 30/50 amp electricity, but no water/sewer. There is a dump station with potable water when you first pull in. The sites are really spread out and it was very quiet at night. There is a river adjacent to the campground and the Maah Daah Hey trail runs through the campground. The town of Medora is a 5 minute drive, but there isn't too much there. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a 5 minute drive as well and the main reason to come to this area.

    Juniper Campground — Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    Great Experience

    The National Park North Unit and Campground(CG) is easy to find off US-85. We showed our Access Passes to get into the park and then proceeded to mile marker 5, where the CG is located. We pulled up to the information and sign-in board for this first come, first serve CG at about 11:30 AM Mountain Time(interesting that when we got to the north unit area, our phones went back to central time, and after a quick Google search, we found out that the north unit runs on central time). A gentleman let us know that he had just pulled in and grabbed a campsite near the entrance/exit and that we’d probably only fit in site 8(this CG is all dry camping) as the perimeter campsites, both back-ins and pull-throughs, were too short for us. The other longer sites were already taken. We proceeded to pull through site 8, which is a long, quarter moon-shaped asphalt site. We maneuvered around to stay away from tree branches and stay on the pad. The picnic table and stand-up barbecue were on the driver’s side, but since the sites are nicely spaced out, this was not a problem. We then filled out our registration envelope, placed $14 cash(Access Pass discount) in the folder, put the tab on our post, and deposited the envelope in the registration area. We could have also written a check or used a credit card to pay. We got on and off 1 bar on Verizon. We did have a good shot north for Starlink. They have a vaulted toilet and flush toilet building along with potable water at the dump station. There are about a half dozen sites for longer rigs, such as 32, 42, and 43, 49, with 5 being the best site. We had our two dogs with us, and there was plenty of room to walk them around the CG. There was plenty of bison poop in the CG, but we didn't see any during our two-night stay. Watford City is 17 miles north and has your major amenities. We enjoyed using this CG as a base to explore the North Unit.

    Cottonwood Campground — Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    Like dispersed camping but with bathrooms

    Site was clean and well maintained. Campground offered pull through, pull off and back in Sites.

    Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained.

    Wildlife is everywhere. We were fortune to witness Bison walking through our site in the very early hours of the morning. Wild horses also visited the campground at some point.

    Rangers we not only friendly but very knowledgeable. They were great with kids in ever setting taking time to educate them with facts about the park and wildlife.

    We arrived before 3pm and were able to secure a first come first serve campsite.

    Not only being in the heart of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the town of Medora is a very family friendly place to explore.

    Dispersed Site - Grassland Boondocking

    Beautiful Hill Top Next to National Park

    Very Close to National Park access.

    A handful of spots on the top of the ridge. Big Rig friendly but spot the road before going to the top as there are not many spots to turn around up there. 

    Stayed here a few days and was accompanied by other travelers the whole time with plenty of distance between us. There are no real amenities for an hour plus outside of here. 

    Decent cell service for ATT & Verizion.

    North Park Campground

    Quiet stay

    Campground is huge but feels quite cozy and friendly. Helpful office staff and they take you to your site. Close to everything in town and only 30 minutes from Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Full hookups. Level sites. Laundry and bathhouse were clean and convenient. Would stay again.
