Come for the location, stay for the laundry room. Stayed mid August. It was hot, there were bugs. It is August! Won’t lie, the spaces are tight. Felt crowded. On the plus side, it is literally next to TRNP south unit. The full hookups were nice to run the A/C. Although the picnic table faces your neighbors sewer pipe. The biggest plus for me was the laundry room. We’re not full time, but are in the road most of the year. This is the Cleanest and most Reasonably priced I’ve found all year. I think it helps it is attached to the office/store. The park is well cared for. The knock down is because of the spacing. The town of Medora is very fun touristy place. We had great fried walleye at Boots Bar & Grill. Theodore’s was a fantastic upscale dinner.
We were on site number 817 and it was an end site so nobody on one side. Utilities were really good with water pressure and 120v on both lines of 50 amp service. No shade, but it wasn't that hot and weather cool off at night nicely. A little dusty, but everything is like that in this part of the state. Check in was easy and staff was great.
When we booked, months ago, we had called and asked an employee if there would be enough room on a 30 amp site to fit a small tent in addition to our tiny tear drop camper. They assured us there would be. When we arrived this was not true at all. The sites are so close together that we couldn’t even fit a 2 person pup tent next to our tiny tear drop camper. Rather than make it right they said our only option was to PAY IN FULL for a tent site in addition to our electric site. As we had no other options for accommodations we had to pay for a second site for our entire trip.
Our sites were also directly under a street light with no other shade. It appeared to be daylight all day and night at the site. Hence my writing this review at 1 am.
The bees were also horrific. And there are no campfire rings at the sites.
The positive was the location to the national park and the town of Medora.
Disappointed by the sites and customer service.
UPDATE: the campground quickly refunded us part of the rent so I am much happier with the customer service. I appreciate the gesture and fast response.
This campground is conveniently located next to the entrance of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Also just a half mile or so is the neat little town of Medora. The park itself was roomy and easy to get in and out. It was hot the day we visited in mid September and a little windy which made me wonder how hot can it get mid summer. There is a small stream you can walk to in the park as well. The check in was smooth and there are a few necessities available.
Visited a few months ago. Extremely tight spots, half the staff seems to not understand the system they're using at all. Bathrooms were okay, laundry room is nice. Conveniently located near the national park. It does the job, if you have no other options.
