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 wasn't sure what to expect, but this park completely exceeded anything I had in mind. The…read morelandscape is a perfect mix of rugged badlands, open prairie, and wide, peaceful views that feel untouched. It's the kind of place where you can pull over at almost any turnout and find something worth photographing. Wildlife was everywhere, bison wandering right along the road, prairie dogs popping in and out of their little towns, and even a few wild horses in the distance. What I appreciated most was how quiet and calm everything felt. Even with other visitors around, there's a sense of space that makes you feel like you have whole sections of the park to yourself. If you're anywhere near North Dakota, this place is absolutely worth the stop. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

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.

I never even had heard of this national park before. The trails aren't intense at all and there are some opportunities to see bison. Absolutely loved their small gift shop.

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.

The place is just a big plain motel. Decor is all brown so nothing looks new or attractive. Room…read moreis small and looks tired. However it's clean enough, the brownish everything notwithstanding. I'd consider it a more acceptable hotel if they didn't charge a premium price for no quality at all. For almost $300 night it's a rip off. Only reason it can charge this kind of price is its location which is 1/4 miles from Roosevelt park's south unit. At least everything in the room worked, fridge and microwave oven, ok shower and aircon. Wifi slow and difficult to connect. Breakfast standard, hot include powdered eggs and sausages. Some mini muffins. There are some other motels in town but not a lot of options if you want to stay in Medora. But I guess you can't beat location although if you don't mind driving a bit there are much better and less costly hotels to stay in Dickinson.

While the hotel appears to have a few years on it, it was well-maintained, clean, and staffed with…read morea friendly and helpful crew. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with courtesy and competence. The front desk staff was attentive, and quickly navigated our check-in (we are required by the company to book through a travel agency which pays directly, and that's often confusing for untrained check-in folks). This was a great relief. The room, while not the ultra-cool look of some places I've been lately, was certainly functional, clean, and comfortable. The towels were nice and clean, and everything in the room worked. The included breakfast was served hot and cold where appropriate. Eggs, meat, biscuits and gravy, pastries, cereal, and juices adorned the counter and seemed fresh and very edible. I really liked the gravy! The hotel is also within walking distance to restaurants and shops (and the historic buildings in Medora), and offers easy access to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (South Unit) and I-94. Again, not the newest place you'll ever stay, but the AmericInn will be one of the most comfortable.

highly recommend Sarah Joy of Dickinson, North Dakota, as the best travel agent in the Midwest…read more From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and stress-free. Sarah is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly knowledgeable about travel planning. She not only saved us a significant amount of money, but she also secured complimentary excursions that made our experience even more memorable. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she handled every detail with professionalism and care. What really sets Sarah apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. She has done our kids school trips as well. I will absolutely be working with her again for future travel plans and confidently recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional travel agent. -- Ross Messer
