I would pass on this one, very crowded, bad service and poorly maintained. We moved to medora campground, which was nice.

If you know what you are getting, you will be ok with your stay. This is a great location next to everything in Medora. If you want to ride a bike or walk to the attractions knowing that it is a jammed pack campground, you'll be happy. All services are adequate and not fancy. The people running the campground are strict, but they have their reasons, they have been doing this a very long time and know their system. If you are looking for quiet, spacious and nature, choose another location. You're paying for the proximity to attractions. We had a nice dinner at Theodore's Diner and walked everywhere. It is a clean town in a beautiful surrounding. read more

We pulled in a day early and the owner couldn't have been more rude. Then all of a sudden she goes oh I have a spot ! She would not give me a site number to go look at it in advance so I completed our transaction because we were staying a week plus one day and then one of the workers lead us to our site. As I looked I could not believe what I was seeing !!!! We were wedged in between a tree and a fire hydrant and when my front stairs came down they landed approximately 2 to 3 feet from the sewer hose for the RV next to us. We also had a great view of broken down grills and picnic tables and the workers RV which was tucked in behind us, we had no space at all and it smelled like poop !!!! We read reviews before coming in, and we didn't listen,we came anyways and we regretted it for a week. Warning warning warning stay away from this campground !!! read more

Very poor customer service. Requested and asked to pay for a a full hook up site and was told none available, - while in reality there were dozens available during our entire stay that were completely unoccupied. Rundown and no amenities. read more

From the start of booking our reservation, the whole process what off. When the gal answered the phone, she wanted to know why someone from Alaska called her "as they don't have a campground in Alaska." We needed to alter our reservation date, at which point the camp host started yelling at me over the phone. I tried to calmly explain the situation, resulting in more yelling and audible huffing. I finally requested that we cancel the reservation. I would not waste your time trying to work with these camp hosts. read more

Nice site, cute town, most of it was closed down as it was late in the season. Close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

I would never choose to stay in this campground again. You are shoehorned in here in the most unbelievable way. We literally could not open our awning. The neighbors sewer drain was beside our picnic table. It was gross and very unpleasant. My sister and nephew came to visit and there was no space to sit outside our camper so we had to find a restaurant in town. We love Medora and will come back. After researching, the Medora Campground looks like a much more desirable location to camp. read more

Luckily, we were able to get a site because some of the other parks in town were full, so we are thankful for that. The check in lady is strict, don't mess with her. The sites are really tight, they require a staff person to assist you in getting your rig safely into the site. I had no problem with the person who assisted me, he was polite and knew exactly the best way to get my rig into the site. Close to town, within walking distance. Bath house was fine. Nothing special. Because the sites are so close together and there are so many people, if you go to bed early there may be lots of noise from other campers before quite hours. read more

The campground is nice enough, however the lady escorting us to our site to assist us with parking could not have been more rude. She attempted to tell my husband how to drive. We have gone over 50,000 miles in our fifth wheel and I can assure you he is more than capable of parking. She accused him of calling her stupid when he tried to tell her he didn't need to pull up so far to back in. Those words never came out of his mouth. Also, they are aware that the dryers that you pay l$2.00 for will shut the off when they over heat, resulting in another $5.00 to finally get my clothes dry. Chris was aware and his answer was "I should probably get those repaired". Not one offer to refund the extra money I had to spend to keep switching dryers. read more

Stayed here in a back in spot in summer 2011 in a camping trailer. Yes, this is in Medora, and you really need to come here. Medora is a great little town, really the highlight of our vacation, surprisingly. It is a beautiful place on the North Dakota prairie with plenty of things to do. Not too big, not too small. Anyway, for RV parks, it was either here or the Medora Campground and I am glad we chose to stay here. Now the park is a little run down, but they make up for it other ways. The family that runs it has been there for a long time, and they really try hard to make you feel welcome. They have shuttle service to the Medora Musical and Pitchfork Fondue. The wi-fi works great, with speeds at a consistent 1mb. They have one of the best stocked convenience stores I have seen. I got a personal escort to our site from the owners son, along with back in assistance. Oh, and there is live entertainment, nightly. Yes, during the summer for 100 days, 7 nights a week from 5:45-9:45pm they have the Vern and Rita Davis show. It's an 80 year old man and his young bride taking requests playing champagne country in the RV park. They have matching outfits and everything. Really, this was THE highlight of our vacation. Sure, Vern can forget the words or sing off key now and then, but this is the beauty of it all. Here is a nice old couple, singing their hearts out for whoever wants to listen. It was so pure and honest. Two people trying their best to entertain whoever stops to listen. It was excellent, and I REALLY enjoyed them. I wish we had scheduled more time in Medora. But, I got to listen to Vern sing two nights in a row. I will always remember this. If planning to stay here,be sure to check in advance that this duo is still performing. Vern's getting up there in years and someday he will not be able to make the trek from his home to Medora. They have been performing here every summer for 28 years. I hope they are here many more summers. read more

Same as above reviews. Older woman at front desk is rude. Facilities are run down. Looks like no maintenance or updating has been done in 20+ years. Bathrooms filthy. Good Sam's take away their rating!!!!! read more

Do NOT, under any circumstance, stay here! The husband on the RV traveling with us made reservations based on being told there were pullthrough sites available. The woman at the desk was surly and mean. She told my husband that there were no other campgrounds in town. She was "right" as there no other campgrounds IN Medora. I had previously looked online and knew there two other campgrounds NEAR Medora. I also read several negative reviews about this campground but didn't have a chance to relate that information before the reservations were made. The only bright spot was the poor guy who tried to get us into two sites that resembled a pullthrough. We couldn't level our coach or hook up. We asked for our money back and were refused. The place is a total ripoff! When I checked the Internet I found the Medora Campground and insisted we leave immediately. There is no comparison between the two. The folks at the Medora Campground are friendly. Choose it when you pass through Medora. They DO have pullthroughs! read more

Very close to Theodore Roosevelt national park and Medora restaurants so very convenient. The campsites are very small and close together. Clean and facilities are good - laundry and restrooms/showers. Great for the location. read more

We have been to Medora for many years me 20 plus years my husband 50 plus. Have stayed at this campground for many of my years. It used to be a great place to pull in for a long weekend. Pleasant and helpful people fun activities however in the last couple years they do not seem to care about the campsite or there hospitality. Seems every time we have come here the last couple years the daughter has been on phone neglecting her customers that make her the money. And then becomes very rude. This will be the last of my money that I earn very honestly! Not desperate to park at a place not wanted! In all respect Happy 60th Anniversary to the Medora musical money there well spent year after year! read more

Okay so it's a basic RV park. You have a choice of a site with electric electric and water or electric water and sewer. Cable TV is also available for $2 extra night. The cable TV is very good as it has a lot of digital channels. I chose electric only sites because I carry water with me and I don't need sewer for one night. We chose to get the cable TV and are enjoying it as I speak. I would recommend staying here because it's very close to the entrance. You cannot guarantee a campsite in the National park as it has a reservation system which screws verything up. Tents are taking the large sites and for a 40 foot motorhome like ours no places. We had nobody by is because everybody must need water or sewer or something. The Wi-Fi is just okay not super but we get a signal. I would stay here again if I ever came through but I am 65 years old and this is the first time I have ever been here and I doubt if I will visit again in my lifetime. read more

Not only is this campground disorganized to the point where they can't find your reservation when you call, but on top of it, they are extremely rude and want to blame me for the fact that they don't have a computer system to keep track of their reservations. I would never set foot in this campground after the way I was treated on the phone, especially when there is an awesome campground a mile away called Boots Cabins and Campground which is extremely accommodating and a great campground for RVs. read more

It all began with the rude and confrontational woman in the front office. If you question anything, she talks over you and gets loud. I asked her why she was yelling and she said ," that's how I talk!". Park is really rundown and unkept. Sites are really close and difficult to manuveur. Based on first impressions and treatment from owners, I wonder why they're in the customer service profession. Doesn't seem to suit them. read more

If you are passing through Medora, DO NOT stay at the Red Trail!! We made reservations a couple months prior and requested full hook ups and pull through. My dad has a 37' motorhome and pulls a vehicle. I was sitting next to him when he made the reservation and heard what he requested, he never likes backing up. When we arrived the friendly gentleman had my dad pull through a site, which is next to a run down white building. The sites are very close together and everything looks run down. My parents had stayed here in the past and remembered a friendly staff. It's obviously changed hands. We are here for 4 nights, so we walked the campground to look for a prettier site that was a pull thru. When we walked into the office, the younger woman immediately said NO when we asked if we could change. We hadn't even explained why yet. I honestly thought she was kidding! We explained why we wanted to switch to the other pull thru. She immediately said that my dad did not ask for pull thru and in all actuality we were in a back in. When I commented that I heard the conversation, she accused me of calling her a liar! Even though the site we wanted had a series of one-nighters, she WOULD NOT switch us!! She said it would mess up her whole system. In a previous review, they stated that they have no computer system here, that's the truth! She had a stack of red cards that she was shuffling through. She was on the verge of tears the whole time, snarky with her comments and had a very rude tone! I asked for a manager, which she said was Mary, who comes in whenever. It's obvious this woman has no customer service skills and is overwhelmed by trying to run a campground. Save yourself the stress and hassle and go to the other campground at the other end of town. read more

Campsite noisy and next to main building which looked like a dump. Good location. Town is cute. Need to clean things up a bit

My family and I stayed here this past weekend and had a very nice time. We tented it and were pleased to find that every tent spot had it's own water spigot, electrical hookup, picnic table and grill. We set up under a nice shady tree and enjoyed ourselves. Clean showers and toilets, overworked but friendly and helpful staff and a camp store that is reasonably priced and very well stocked, they had all kinds of stuff from groceries to souveniers. The campground is in town and just around the corner from Medoras main drag. They also have live music in the evenings and a fun communal atmosphere. Oh and the free Wi-Fi is a nice touch! We'll definitely be back! read more

Pluses - assistance backing in or finding your site. It was very crowded at check-in (around 3:30) and the line of trailers and refs was about 25 minutes long. Once I was checked in, they had two guys outside guiding people through the very cramped quarters to each site. I only stayed one night so can't comment on the musical or othe offerings in town, but the Campground is an easy walk from the town of Medora and some local restaurants and bars. Minuses - this place is WAY TOO CROWDED!! Open your door and you are staring right into your neighbors trailer. The entire Campground smelled of sewer, and the bathrooms and showers were old and gross! I stayed in probable fifteen different campsites and even parks on this trip, and this one was the most disappointing. read more

Older but clean campground. Manager friendly..Sites not big. Close to everything. I would return.

We stayed two nights. Our lot was so tight when our awning was out, the camper beside us could not open their slide. Their sewer was one step from our camper steps so we sat a table over it so as not to step on it. Our site also had a big hoe at the bottom of the steps and it filled with water during a rain and we had nothing but mud. We were disappointed we did not stay at the alternative campground which was much nicer and just as close to town. It was 90 degrees when we were here July 25-26, 2016 so walking up town was out of the question anyway. As far as Medora, ND and Theodore Roosevelt NP it is awesome, two days was good to see everything. I would not stay here again. Also, the owners were nice and available but seemed to be wearing the same dirty clothes the entire time we were there. Not good. read more

Camground itself is fine. Will never give them business again. The store is embaressing as a fellow north dakotan, it it needs updates very very badly. Old random items that are yellowed from age sitting there that no one bought. We asked if we were fine to stay after check out time we were told it fine. Three hours later she came to our site while and lied and kept changing her story..she said that she never told us that. Rudley told us to leave now while we were eating. Basically she said it was fine then a site had eletrical issues and pretended we were in the wrong for being there still. Weird lying people run this place. Stay clear read more

This campground is bottom-of-the barrel. The sites are so close together it feels like an apartment building. The showers and bathrooms are not kept clean; the women's was not well-ventilated so that my glasses steamed when someone else was in the shower. All the men's toilets were plugged and no one was available for service at 8 A.M. Someone was setting up camp in our site when we got there. During the evening, I (and 2 others in line) had a question for management but no one was around. Street and other overhead lights did not allow us to see the millions of stars in the sky that we knew were there. We will NOT return. read more

The actual campground is ok, but don't let them put you in the sites right in front of the office. The family uses the office and the front area as their home, with all their 'stuff' strewn around in front of the office,even their own BBQ, and the front of the office as their family gathering place, with all the kids running around throughout the day. The woman that checked us in was not especially friendly or helpful, and was wearing a filthy, stained blouse and looked very sloppy and unprofessional. We wouldn't stay here again.. read more

We stay for 4 day very clean hosted was nice ,quiet, entertainment sing along on Saturday bathroom very clean ,I will stop here again .
