Red Trail Campground

This is a place to park the TT, unhook, and go see the sights of the National Park and other activities Medora has to offer outside of the campground. Check-in was easy; staff we encountered were pleasant, back-in assist by staff was spot on; everything worked fine (W/S/E); they do pack everyone in snug! It was amazing to see these guys park the big rigs in some tight spots! The sites may be tight but there is plenty of room to maneuver the back in.

We have traveled all over the country in our 40' motorhome so we self contained and did not use this parks facilities. We have stayed in some great parks and some real dogs. This park rates in the middle or slightly below average. To begin, it is "off season" so this is the only RV park open in town and no other camping options are available anywhere nearby, thus one cannot be too choosy. I think some of the really bad reviews need to relax and not be so ridiculous. Sites are level, gravel with grass, picnic tables, barbeque and full service (50A, water, sewer). Nothing different than 90% of all RV parks all over the country. Sites are all "back in" but not as tight as some comments. Staff helped us get in, no problems. Yes, they charge an extra $3 for cable but at $39 total I could not complain. Park needs some work but for a one nights stay we are satisfief. Dome of the really poor reviews need to relax, enjoy the National Park and Medora which is in the middle of nowhere, what do they expect.

There are really only two choices in town and neither are that great. Our experience wasn’t good and I honestly was glad to leave. Someone was in our spot when we arrived, we had to wait a while for them to figure out what to do. We pulled through to our spot, all the way to the edge of the road. We had no room to park our truck, but they let us park it close by. Our living area was bordered by the dumpster and the dump station, so we didn’t have much interest in sitting outside. Eventually, our parking space was assigned to a truck camper and their trailer. Fortunately , they found us another spot to park our truck. The people with the truck camper commandeered our picnic table, which the rules specifically state not to do. While we weren’t using it, it would have been nice if they asked.

We didn’t have a bad experience with the staff, in general they were pleasant enough and helpful enough. The WiFi was good, at times, better than most parks, but slows down when the park is full.

We loved the town of Medora, the Musical and Teddy Roosevelt NP, so we would stay again if we are ever back in the area. We drove through the county park, it had some nice sites, but most weren’t any better than here.

This place is a dump. The bathrooms are old and dirty. The men's bathroom had one broken shower that was never repaired. The women's had an overflowing toilet. There is only one trashcan in the whole place, next to the dump station. Makes it difficult to throw away trash when someone is dumping. What would normally be a pull through spot in a normal park becomes a back to back spot here. They cram you in like sardines. The employees are not hygienic. Good things: kid volunteers, wifi and cable. Better off staying at Medora Campground.

The price includes the Good Sam discount. When checking in the lady's face would have cracked if she smiled! There are so many trees you cannot get satellite, wi-fi was just OK. The spaces are so tight we had to park our truck right against the motorhome, barely able to open our door. When making reservations I am always sure to tell them we have a 44' motorhome with tow vehicle to make sure they can accommodate us. On the plus side, we went to the Roosevelt Nat'l Park and saw some buffalo and prairie dogs, and the Medora Musical and Dinner were fantastic!
