Veteran-owned and proudly American, our simple campground is located right in the town of South Heart, ND. We offer 12 nightly sites on less than one acre, providing a safe, affordable, no-frills place to park just minutes from Dickinson and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We don’t operate for profit; our $30 and $40 nightly rates are intentionally low to give fellow veterans and travelers a break. We’re not a resort, so there’s no shower house, laundry, or Wi-Fi. What we do offer is full hookups, an on-site RV technician, nearby golf, a bar within walking distance, and DoorDash and Walmart delivery to your site. Back-in sites #1–8 have 20- and 50-amp service. If your rig requires 30 amps, adapters cost about $12–$13 at Menards, seven miles east. Pull-through sites #9–12 have 20-, 30-, and 50-amp service. The frost-free spigots may require a push and slight clockwise turn to start the water.

Unspoiled vistas, brilliant night skies, and vast wildlife are waiting to be discovered at the Dakota Prairie Grasslands. Uniquely laid out, the grasslands are actually individual areas dispersed throughout the state, so you can throw a dart at the map and choose! The antelope laden tallgrass prairie of the Sheyenne National Grassland is wildly different than the badlands of the Little Missouri Grasslands, but we guarantee the variety, scenery, and killer camping at each is reason enough to visit them all! Try the groovy Denbigh Experimental Forest, horseback riding in the Grand River National Grassland, or coyote spotting at sunset at Buffalo Gap. You seriously can’t have a bad time here, it’s impossible. The friendly rangers, down home feel, and stunning sunsets all over the Dakota Grasslands will leave you wondering what took you so long to make it out to these one of a kind adventures.

If you like trains this is the place to stay. The tracks are about a block from the park. It was great!! We had a personal issue and contacted the host. They were a great help to us. Very nice people.

No frills but has everything you need!!! Full hook ups. Medora is 30 minutes away. North Unit of TRNP is an hour. 15 min to Dickinson where they have grocery stores and anything else you may need. I thought it was a good location and very easy to get to using the directions on the website. Definitely turn on Broadway and not Main. I never met the host but I appreciate their service to our country and the represented flags on the property.

Great site, easy in and out of RV park. FHu, no hassle check-in, everything done on line. We're a few mud holes after the five hours of rain received the night before we left. Close to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

Easy access. Nice big pull through site. Sites nice and wide as well as long so neighbors are not too close. Quiet. Full hookups but no other amenities. We stayed there for three nights. Easy drive to Medora and Dickinson and up to the north unit of the National Park. Should have scheduled a longer stay, so many things to see and do in the area.

4 nights at Prairie Retreat

This is a very nice and quiet spot for our four night stay. It was a perfect base camp to run into Dickinson to see our son, go to Big Sticks games, and visit some local eateries. We spent a day in TR National Park and visited the new Presidential Library (highly recommended- advance tickets required). The weather ranged from 100 degrees when we got there to 40 degrees in the morning two days later. We had some rain and wind and our host was nice enough to leave a note checking in to make sure everything was ok. There is a friendly resident cat that unfortunately our dog didn’t love. But it was no problem. She just stayed away. We arrived in the dark, but the directions were good and the site is well marked (with directions). Perfect for a one night stop over or extended stay if you are self contained (the Dickinson Community center is really nice and has showers 😁).

Easy Access, very friendly and responsive host, plenty of AC power, and aside from the occasional train (which I didn’t hear because my HVAC units were running) very peaceful! I enjoyed walking down to the “I Don’t Know Bar” for dinner & a drink as was recommended.

Great small park! Veteran owned and cared for. You know it's a labor of love as soon as you drive in. Everything was thought of for our one night stay. We were 30 Amp and they even left us the converter so we could more easily plug into electric. I would highly recommend this park for an overnight stay.

We stayed at American RV Park in South Heart, ND. Everything is done online. This was a great overnight campsite. The owner came and introduced himself and then left us to be.
