Best Cabin Camping near Dakota Prairie National Grasslands

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

We stayed here for one night on a 3-week road trip, and our boys declared it their favorite campground we stayed at! We stayed in the of the cabins, which had a really cool loft area the boys loved. Being able to walk down to the river and explore was neat. Bathrooms were clean. We had no complaints whatsoever here, and wished we could have stayed longer!

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.

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.

We’d been staying in State parks the last few weeks, with deep toilets and showers that require quarters. Here we had flushable toilets, HOT showers with good pressure and free laundry! We also liked having the bar on site to grab snacks, drinks, food etc. Also there was cool stuff to see! There’s a one room schoolhouse exhibit across the road at the fairgrounds. White Butte (tallest point in North Dakota) is a great hike super close. You can also get to Medora for TRNP or Regent for the Enchanted Highway in about an hour. Very centrally located.

Fun little spot in the middle of the Great Plains of western North Dakota.

Just off Highway 85 at Amidon, ND. Population 25!

Great one nighter or a very quiet longer stay. Come prepared! No groceries except in small store in Bowman 21 miles away.

No trains no trucks!

We had a couple beers and a good pizza in Mo’s Bunker Bar just steps away from our trailer.

Nine average to small size spaces with water, electric, and sewer! $35

A younger couple bought this in 2006 and have done some hard work to renovate a basement into a bar . It is a sight to see and play darts or pool and have pizza or root beer floats!

Nice clean bathrooms and private showers with wonderful hot water. Laundry was available.

We just happened to show up on the first day of the Slope County 101 Annual Fair and rodeo. Got to mix with local people. Corn hole games, FFA auction, exhibits and games!

There was a demonstration of a 100 year old steam power engine and a combine working as kids threw wheat shafts on the conveyor.

White Butte, the high point of ND is very close! A mile or so hike to the top!

Large campground with plenty of open spots when we got there. Nice showers and bathrooms, saw two while looking for our spot. Even can fill up your propane if needed. Cute like yurt like tents shaped like covered wagons. Free WiFi. $30 for tent spot.

Friendly staff, clean bathrooms and laundry. Hot shower. Power and water. The sites are tight.

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!

We enjoyed Medora Campground! The sites were quite small but we spent the majority of our time in town, in the National park, or at the musical. There was construction, to expand the campground, while we were there so that was loud and noisy. Bathrooms and showers were clean.

Easy to find and close to many attractions. Quiet and comfortable sites for everything from class a to tents.

The price for all the amenities provided was excellent! There was plenty of room for our tent and cooking set up!

The access to Theodore Roosevelt National Park is ideal as well as being able to explore the town of Medora!

It was hot during the day but the campground had plenty of shade to provide a cool place to hangout.

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.

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!

Great location! This campground isright next to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and across the street from The Medora Musical. Restrooms & showers are clean and the have a laundry. Sites are a little tight but there are many trees. There's a camp store and community pool available to campers.

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.

No problems getting a spot or checked in, had a nice pull through, and all was fine. Only critique would be there was standing water in the showers but otherwise great.

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.

Close spots just outside of Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Some spots are very close, but have stunning views of the buttes behind and the Little Missouri River. Individual showers and a real desert feel.

This park is close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park The bathroom and shower were clean. That’s the end of the good news. The sites are small and very tight. We couldn’t open our canopy. When we stepped out our door we were looking right in the window of the neighbors. Lots of dust and bugs. The staff was not very friendly. They have the only campground in town, and know it. Next time I will camp 20 miles away and drive to the park.

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.
