Just south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and a couple miles from the town of Medora, Sully Creek State Park is located in the heart of North Dakota’s Badlands. This small park provides easy access to the Little Missouri River for paddlers and anglers, and serves as a launch point for the 170-mile Maah Daah Hey and the 50-mile Maah Daah Hey II trails. These two scenic trails invite hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders to discover the Badlands’ peaks, plateaus, prairies, and wetlands—just as Roosevelt saw them more than a century ago. Sully Creek also makes an ideal basecamp for exploring the nearby national park in a quieter setting, or if the park’s facilities are full.
Sully Creek offers 41 spacious campsites in three open, grassy areas: Whitetail Flats, Cedar, and Little Muddy Breaks. Whitetail Flats offers open, grassy, pull-through sites that can accommodate large RVs; Cedar is a wooded loop with pull-through and back-in sites for smaller RVs and tent campers; Little Muddy Breaks is an open area designated for horse campers, and features corrals and a round pen. All sites are equipped with picnic tables, and there are vault toilets, a shower house, drinking water, and a dump station available; hookups are not available at this location. Dogs are permitted in the park, but must remain leashed. Camping is available from April through November. Campsites are $12/night; reservations accepted.
Sully Creek State Park is located 2 1/4 miles south of Medora on paved road then 1/4 of a mile west on gravel road.
Very nice park. We had a pull through space with 50A power. Very clean showers. Vault restrooms. Potable water available (but not at sites). Dump station. Nice trail by the river. Very close to Theodore Roosevelt NP and Medora.
Beautiful and quiet, ample camping spots. Great shower facilities. Close to Medora and the Theodore Roosevelt NP. Also has access to the Maah Daah Hey trail.
We hear that the Medora Musical is wonderful, but we got rained out, twice.
Incredible RV campground. Electric hookups only. But the setting is stunning. Huge bluffs on one side, the Little Missouri river on the other.
The Maah Daah Hey mountain bike/horse riding trail goes through the campsite and it offers incredible vistas.
We don't have horses, but they let us stay in the Equine camp (I called in- the lady that works there is very nice and helpful).
Only 7 minutes drive from the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Great location for a park. Far enough and deep enough from any main roads so that it feels like you are really alone out there. Roads leading to the campgrounds are paved until you drive into the park.
Easy camper/rv parking with shore power on most of the sites. Tent campers are on the inside of the fence, which is great for safety reasons. Restrooms were well kept and the park crew were awesome.
This campground park has sites for everyone. Horses, tent, campers and rvs.
