Theodore Roosevelt National Park far exceeded my expectations in the best way possible! This…read moreNational Park is off the beaten path and well worth the visit. We only saw the North Unit on our visit so we will definitely have to visit more at a later date. While visiting I felt so at peace and love that it's not overcrowded like other National Parks and that you really feel surrounded by nature and wildlife. We enjoyed driving along the scenic path and soaking in the stunning views! We saw cannonball concretions, stunning views from the overlooks along the way, and saw lots of bison. There are lots of hiking trails to explore and we saw deer. We look forward to coming back and hopefully seeing wild horses and prairie dogs. The park is large with so much to see and do. An absolutely gorgeous place to visit that is so underrated! Highly recommend visiting this place!

I really wanted to go to the north point of this park, but unfortunately, we were short on time, so…read moreI decided not to do that during this trip. Even though we went through the bottom portion, we were able to see some horses and look out at the beautiful views. We were able to get junior ranger books and badges. I even got to get a magnet from the little shop at the painted canyon visitor center. It was much hotter than we thought it would be, so we were not able to do any hikes during our visit in July. But even just driving through the land was beautiful.

We…read morewere provided with a map when we drove in, although if you are not provided one at this time, you can get one inside the visitor center. There are volunteers that are helpful and can answer any questions you have about the park. There are signs outside that share more about Theodore Roosevelt. There is a 36 mile loop that you can drive around and take in the scenic landscape views and views of the wildlife. There are trails you can take in addition if you are feeling more adventurous. The visitor center has plenty of parking, bathrooms are in good condition, and it has a water station near the restroom so you can fill up your refillable water bottle if you are running low on water.

The S. Unit visitor center is the way to enter Theodore Roosevelt National Park from Medora. I was…read morehappy to see knowledgeable park volunteers answering questions & using the maps. The south unit is the largest of the three park sections in the mountain time zone. The Scenic Loop, Drive is 36 miles around although miles of the road are closed,so we could not loop we had to backtrack. The visitor center has information, a theater and a museum with natural history displays and some of Theodore Roosevelt personal items. In this section of the park is a dude ranch from the 1920s that was the headquarters of the WPA. Previously there were guided horseback rides from here. There is a wilderness section of the south unit and a petrified forest. These sections of the park cannot be reached by paved roads. The gravel dirt roads are difficult for vehicle vehicles.

The north unit has a 14 mile loop I believe and the south unit is about a 36 mile loop. Both have lots of places to stop at and soak in the views. I've seen bison at both units and wild horses only at the south unit so far. Highly recommend visiting this park!

On a random draw, you may be eating over your neighbors sewer - meh. We did not use the restrooms/showers - i can't speak on those.

RVs you have it good at Medora. Tenting on the other hand, well left a little to be desired…read more Sitting acutely near the berm, we were surprised by the quantity of grasshoppers and the dearth of shade. For a campground that boasts lovely cottonwood trees, we were dismayed that the east side tent spots lacked consistent shading. We checked in on a Tuesday and leaving by Friday, so why not give us a prime shady location? Maybe Medora you could note that on your website- tent, no shade, near the berm, etc. I would have paid the extra implied cost to have a reliably shady tent space. Bathrooms were not at all like other reviews described. They were clean and well draining. And they were convenient for the tent campers. I loved that the river was accessible. We did lots of Little Muddy swimming and rock exploiting. So cool to be right next to TRNP. I will camp here again. In an RV, or note the shady request in my reservation request.

We stayed here for three nights while we were visiting Madora. What I can say about this hotel is…read moreit was so crowded because it was a busy summer season, but it was so quiet. I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and there was absolutely no noise which was wonderful. The beds were super comfy and the staff were so friendly. The gentleman at the front desk on the first night actually had wrote a book and was telling us all about it just really friendly. The kids use the pool and they loved that. I would say the only thing that they could work on is the ice machine machines were not working while we were there and then we had adjoining rooms cause we were a large group and the doors were so difficult to open. It's probably been a really long time since anybody has used the doors but other than that great place to stay if you're traveling to Madora definitely stay here.

Hotel messed up my reservation. Reserved two rooms and they only had one room. Then they gave me…read morethe room with a bath tub in the corner of the room and would not accommodate a room change. Staff definitely needs to be trained better. Or they need to upgrade systems. I am amazed for as long as Medora has been around that lodging establishments are not more progressed. Warning, double check everything or travel there at your own risk with this hotel. Amazed Wyndam would let one of there franchised hotels act like they do and in a town that lives on tourists. They forget they are representing Medora and not just there hotel. Very much puts a sour taste in your mouth.
