Cottonwood Campground (TRNP South Unit)

Medora, ND, USA · National Park

South Unit campground on the Little Missouri. No hookups, generators 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local. Site choice matters more here than at Juniper — the pull-throughs are not all what they look like on the map. Note that site 25 is the group site, not a standard site.
