This 27-site state park campground sits along Sully Creek about 3 miles southeast of Medora, offering a more civilized base camp for exploring the Badlands than the primitive options. Sites have electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, with modern restrooms and hot showers in the facility building. The cottonwood trees provide decent shade, and there’s a playground for families.
Popular with RVers during peak season (June-August), so reservations are smart if you need hookups. The campground makes a good jumping-off point for both Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Badlands backcountry routes, though you’ll pay for the convenience.
