Best Cabin Camping near Fairfield, ND

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!

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.

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.

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’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.

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
