Awesome, All the way around

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!

Nice camping very close to TRNP

Overall a nice campground...clean bathrooms and shower house on Little Missouri River, less than 5 minutes from South Unit entrance. Our only complaint is the closeness of the sites. Some are so close that awnings cannot be used We were lucky that we were in the back close to the river where there are some trees. Others at the front which mostly seemed to be larger units are out in the wide open gravel almost like a parking lot. Also be aware if you travel in summer there's likely a ban on any burning. We aren't even able to use our charcoal grill because of high fire risk in the area

Good all around

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.

Medora Campground - Close enough to bike into town!

We recently stayed at Medora Campground.  It was too early in the season to catch the Musical however we rode our bikes into town,  the local bike shop was great, and was able to fix my husband's bike!  The Campground itself is on the small side as far as sites go but they are pull-through which was convenient for our 2-night stay.  We were on a long trip and were happy to see laundry available on site, everything was in working order.   The bathroom was clean and the people we nice.   The location is right next to the entry into Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the visitor center.   If you like Mountain Biking  - Check out the Maah Daah Hey trail the is just outside the town of Medora.  I would recommend having someone drop you off at the trailhead.

Nice campground, small sites

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.

Good park

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.

Great amenities, right next to TRNP

Great campground overall! Sites are a little close together (especially for RVs) and the tent sites are on uneven, rocky ground half the time. We went in mid September so the season was over and it wasn’t too crowded but I could see being frustrated by lack of privacy during peak season. You can hear the train at night, not a big deal for me but it’s relatively frequent and noisy. That being said the amenities are great - camp store, private showers, clean bathrooms, even a few tent sites with water and electric. It’s right in a scenic little cove and if you walk a bit there’s rocky beach access right on the Little Missouri River. It’s also walkable to TRNP which is fantastic.

At The South Entrance to Park

Overnight and enjoyed quick drive (one block) to entry of National Park. Good access, crowded, but had an easy site to access.. Nice fun downtown (2 blocks) Bike trail at entrance also!!

Lovely stop!

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!

Ok campground

Close campsites. We only stayed one night going to the National park. Very small town, only one gas station that is also the small grocery store. Fun putt putt golf in town.

Beautiful

Beautiful and short walk to the Little Missouri River. Very close to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. Nice size camping spots.

Pleasantly surprised

After arriving late for a site in the Theodore Roosevelt NP we decided on this one. Since I have a small van with a bed I was able to get a nice tent site with plenty of room to spread out. Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean. Surprised to see bats flying at night it was actually cool. Definitely would stay here again.

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!

Close to Theodore Roosevelt NP

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.

Neat western campground

Pretty tight, but other than that gorgeous. Very close to town, the river , and the national park. Many things to do in town and enjoy the Medora Musical

Clean campground close to Medora and Theo Roosevelt Park

The best thing about this campground was its location... close to town, close to the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and close to the Mefora Musical. The campground was clean but the sites werevery close together. The campground had lots of cottonwood trees so the cotton was blowing all over when we were the in June. It did have full hook-ups, so that was a plus.

Pleasant area, sites close together.

Facilities are well maintained with good water and power at sites. Area is beautiful and you can wade in the river right behind the tent area. Only drawback is lack of privacy between tent sites. Would stay here again.

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.
