      Medora Campground

      Good for short stop over

      Great location to Roosevelt NP and town. Found park pretty much as stated in reviews. Restrooms and showers bit dated but clean. Lots were super narrow in several sections. One sections very open with no shade. Found my guess rude by walking through your lot. Was ok for a short stay.

      Medora Campground

      Convenient, close quarters

      Pros: convenient to TRNP, new presidential library, & town of Medora, good laundry facility & nice walking paths. Cons: sights were extremely close together, restrooms were clean, but could use some updating

      Medora Campground

      Very close to TRNP and glorious hot showers

      Great campground, quiet! Nice shaded spots for tents, carcamping. Trees for hammocks!! Laundry facility with quick dryers. Has trolley to take you to activities... Steak on pitchforks! There is a train going by but it is almost not noticeable. Staff is friendly!

      Medora Campground

      Nice muni campground

      Spending a couple nights while visiting TRNP. This campground is pretty large, with many different site types. Some shaded and some not. Some are rather close to each other. Ours had the sewer hookup inconveniently located so we had to park our trailer at an angle. Showers/bathrooms are old, but decent and clean. Would recommend for a couple nights stay, especially if you’re looking for FHU sites.

      Medora Campground

      Great spot near a lot

      Just a mere walk away from the lovely town of Medora and perfect driving distance from the National Park and the Presidential Library. Staff were kind and helpful throughout and the camp spot was great. Showers can feel like a sauna in the summer and you will need bring your own water for the tent sites otherwise perfect place to stay.

      Boots Campground

      Awful experience

      Absolutely disgusted by our entire experience at this campground- BEWARE!! We rented one of the cabins for$700 for 2 nights- only to arrive to filth, grime and a dead mouse stuck to the kitchen floor- obviously had not been cleaned in AWHILE. We made multiple attempts to contact the host with zero response and then slept in our camper because the bedding was questionable at best. Do not stay here under any circumstances.

      Medora Campground

      Great for Tent Camping!

      This campground had huge, shady spaces under the cottonwood trees. I would not have liked the park if we had our RV due to little shade and tight spaces. Staff was very nice, a trolly can pick you up to go to town or to the amazing, new Rosevelt library, a must to see. Restrooms were clean but the showers had standing water.

      Medora Campground

      Can of Sardines?

      We originally had book our stay for a week here, but ended up leaving after 4 days. We were in the newer section of the facility and the spots were so close that if the camper next to us had their slides out we couldn't put the picnic table log ways between our rigs. Also there were no trees or shade in the new area, and the ground was just sand/dirt no grass or ground covering. 

      Also this was right before the presidential library opening (like 3 weeks before) and there was a bunch of construction going on from 6am-8pm right next to the campground. So we got to listen to heavy machinery go back and forth all day. I would expect it to be that way for the rest of 2026. 

      There is a short trail that goes along the river and a playground for kids. If your planning on visiting the National Park the entrance is a mile down the road. 

      Overall was not impressed with it overall for what I paid. It would be fine if you wanted to do a quick stay to see Theodore National Park or the musical.

      Boots Campground

      Level sites

      A private campground with very little interaction with staff (ok with me).
      If you are planning to visit Medora, ND be sure and check when things open! Not much going on until first park of June, but it was nice and calm!
      At the campground we had everything we needed. The views aren’t bad, but not like being in a more wilderness like campsite. The hill coming south out of Medora is steep, but paved and doable. Camp sites are mixed with cabins (set trailer houses with wood siding) and it could be a bit tight when busy. Had no problems, all went ok!
