    Medora Campground

    Perfect for Teddy Roosevelt National Park visit

    Nice campground, good roads and pull through spots, wide enough to use picnic tables and have enough room for truck. Ample bathrooms and laundry room was great. ATM and cash change machine in room, dryers are fantastic. Great staff at front desk with late hours. We had emergency truck repair and needed to stay an extra day,,,staff was very helpful and made it work. Lots of sites here, some are shaded…others are full sun. Lots of different options available, RV, tent, cabin, wagon.

    Good recreation for kids, basketball/volleyball/gaga ball and city pool at front of campground $5/person. Medora is a small town, easy to bike or walk. No grocery store, only small convenience store so make sure you stock up if you are staying for a few days.

    National park entrance South is next door and scenic trail drive is about 2 hours round trip (there is construction so one part of road is shut down…no loop…you have to turn around).

    Great Little Hideaway

    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!

    Boots Campground

    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.

    Medora Campground

    Close quarters if you need electricity

    Space is pretty tight here. We grabbed two sites, side by side. 305 and 306. We had a 3-person tent and a small pop-up camper. Not much room at all (see photo). There was basically enough room to share a picnic table and that was it. I will say the tent camping non-electric sites were bigger and grassier. But if you need power, you're stuck in a pull-through that offers very little privacy. Also, there is not enough room for both a tent and a vehicle, so we settled on parking the long way across the back and straddled the road.

    The facilities were well maintained though. Check-in was a breeze. The staff were friendly. Super convenient location to everything - national park, musical, steak fry, downtown. All very nice.

    Convenient campground right next to TRNP

    We rolled up late in the day and they had plenty of tent sites available. Beautiful views and a nice path to sit next to the little Missouri! Fire pits are shared.

    Medora Campground

    Best Choice for the Area

    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!

    Good Campground

    We stayed in a tent with electricity. The tent site was on the back stretch with the badlands as a backdrop. There was not a fire ring at the campsite but we didn’t feel like we were missing anything. Our site was extremely small wIth no room for our camp chairs. Alao, there was some inconsistency in sizes of the tent area sites. Bathrooms were clean. Showers were alright, they could use some work on the ventilation.

    Loved this place! ❤️

    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.

    Medora Campground

    Tight and dusty, but close to Teddy Roosevelt

    We stayed 3 nights in a PT FHU for $177. The sites are dusty red dirt (but that's the natural landscape of the area) and a little close together. The staff is very friendly and they have a small store on site. There's a picnic table, but it was very hot outside without shade. There's a great creek within walking distance that you can cool off in and let the dogs run around. The proximity to Teddy Roosevelt NP is the winner to stay!

What to do

Hiking White Butte: Near Cabins of Amidon, visitors can hike North Dakota's highest point. "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," notes one visitor.

Little Missouri River activities: Several cabin areas provide direct river access. "Area is beautiful and you can wade in the river right behind the tent area," according to one camper about the water features near cabin areas.

What campers like

Gateway location: Most cabin rentals provide strategic access to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. "Nice campground, good roads and pull through spots, wide enough to use picnic tables and have enough room for truck... National park entrance South is next door and scenic trail drive is about 2 hours round trip," shares a visitor at Medora Campground.

Digital convenience: The Crossings Campground offers simplified check-in processes. "The sights are level and easy to park. There are no restrooms or dumpsters on site. All the neighbors and campers were friendly. Wi fi worked great," notes one camper.

Budget-friendly options: Some cabin rentals provide full amenities at lower costs than in-town accommodations. "It's like Boondocking with full hookups! No thrills but peaceful and has very good WiFi. Would recommend and would stay again for the money," remarks a visitor about staying outside the main tourist area.

What you should know

Limited supplies: Grocery options are minimal near cabin rentals. "Come prepared! No groceries except in small store in Bowman 21 miles away," warns a visitor to Cabins of Amidon. Another notes, "While in Medora, you must get a caramel roll from Country Cafe (cash only and right behind the Badlands motel)."

Hookup peculiarities: Some cabins and RV sites have unusual utility layouts. "Figuring out where to situate your rig is tricky due to weird, irregular spacing of the hookups in some sites," cautions a guest at The Crossings Campground.

Seasonal timing: Many cabin rentals only operate during summer months. "We 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," shares a visitor about the optimal timing for cabin stays.

Tips for camping with families

Recreation options: Medora area cabins offer various kids' activities. "Good recreation for kids, basketball/volleyball/gaga ball and city pool at front of campground $5/person. Medora is a small town, easy to bike or walk," says a visitor to Boots Campground.

Transportation alternatives: Many cabin areas allow easy access to attractions without driving. "Campground close enough I was able to walk into the national park one morning," shares one visitor about the convenient location for family exploration.

Unique accommodations: Some properties offer distinctive sleeping arrangements. "I believe that you can rent covered wagons here to sleep in as well if you are looking for a truly unique and western experience. Maybe not authentic to the Oregon trail days since you will have a real house door, but still super neat that they offer this!"

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Several cabin and RV sites require extra equipment for leveling. "Site 7 is very hard to get level. We had to buy more leveling blocks," notes a visitor to Trappers RV Park.

Hookup extension needs: Many sites require longer than standard utility hoses. "Make sure you bring plenty of sewer hose if your RV is any size. The same goes for electric and water hose," advises a camper about The Crossings Campground facilities.

Site spacing considerations: Proximity between units varies significantly. "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!"
