A safe, quiet space near town for amenities and close to highway for convenience when traveling through. Flat, gravel pad. Brand new picnic table and fire pit overlooking farm fields. Very responsive owner.

Great RV park for exploring Teddy Roosevelt Nat'l Park, Medora, and the Enchanted Hwy. Site was mostly level, 50amp electric was strong, good water pressure, & spacious. Jason and Angela are great hosts and even helped a neighbor with his camper issue. Park is small and clean, grass mowed, and far enough off of I94 that there is no hwy noise. There are RR tracks thru town, so you will hear the trains from time to time. When back thru the area, we will definitely stay again, but will try to get sites 8 or 12 for an unobstructed view to the south.

Nice to know that Jason is an RV repair technician! That could come in handy if needed. We had some scary storms move through Jason checked on all his campers and told them where the storm shelters were.

This was a great spot to be at for our 2 week stay. Right off the highway and fairly close to town. Very clean and very friendly; they even had an open invitaion gathering at one of the sites to watch sports on the projector the first night we were there. Basically in a well kept open field with good hookups and lots of support if needed! They have a dumpster that gets trash pick-up every week so we had no space issues with garbage. And theres a small section of field for our dog to run! Traveling cross country means hitting a lot of empty areas, so we were so thankful to find this space at such an affordable cost.

This space was great, though a little hard to find in the dark — glad I went by during the day. If I had known I would be out so late the night of my stay, I probably would’ve found a truck stop to sleep a few hours at instead. Because I caught a sunset and stargazing in the north unit and a sunrise in the south, I was only here for a few hours. I’m hoping I didn’t disturb anyone when I accidentally set my car alarm off in the wee hours. It was great to know I had a place to stay and, especially if you’re in an RV, this is a great spot.

Nice grass lots with full hook ups that were pretty level and very spacious. Gravel roads with easy in and out. Close easy access to I-94 but far enough away to be very peaceful. Extremely nice and accommodating host/manager. So much better than the dirt/dust bowl we were in at Medora. Onsite RV Tech which is a huge plus if you have a problem!

Small RV park that is very quiet and low key. Jason the owner is very friendly and can help if you have an issue with your RV. This is a great place to camp if you’re going to Theodore Roosevelt NP, only 30 minutes away.

Very clean Campground with a beautiful view. The host was very friendly and helped me hook up my camper. Unfortunately really bad weather was rolling in I wouldn't have known if it was not for the host who told me there was 100 mph winds on their way. My family and I quickly left but would love to stay there again for longer!

Easy area to find. Only a 30minute drive to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Easy set up process. No bath house available though or amenities. The spots are dirt/grass. The view is beautiful of the sky. If you need a stop for the night, it works.

Directions were easy to follow. Jason was very friendly and greeted us. Spot was level, grassy and really easy to pull into. We had the entire area to ourselves as there was no one camping near us. View out our door was beautiful. Very pleased with the entire experience!

Jason and Angela, the camp hosts, came by to introduce themselves and see if we needed any assistance. We ended up chatting for quite awhile. Nice people. Loved the campground as it is totally grass which kept the dirt down, a big plus with 2 dogs. It was quiet and close to Dickinson due grocery shopping and close to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. We would stay there again if we're in the area!

Great location. Easy off from the interstate and easy to maneuver in the campground. We’ve traveled several states in the US and some areas of Canada. You’d be hard pressed to find friendlier and more accommodating hosts! This place is a hidden gem and we will be back.

Cottonwood Campground

25 years ago I remember buffalo running through the camp ground at night and spook me in my sleep, only to wake up to the site of buffalo drinking from across the river. Wild buffalo, wild horses and just an awaking assortment of wild. Great park!
