We've had a lot of discussion and research about possible campgrounds after Watford City. This is the time of year that many campgrounds this far north are closing, and the small town of Medora (179 residents, 5000 tourists) appeared to have only one campground open with electrical hookups. Yes, I'm a wimp and would prefer to be able to run my percolator and recharge my computer. Anyway, after our experience with the White Buffalo Woman in Watford City, we checked out the reviews and there were a number of negative ones about sites being muddy and no wifi even though they charged for it. So we were pleasantly surprised to arrive at the Red Trail campground and find many nice sites and excellent wifi.
After set up, we drove to the visitor's center at the Theodore Roosevelt South Unit and checked out the Roosevelt displays and his cabin. Then we took the 36-mile loop through the south unit. We saw splendid vistas, buffalo, prairie dogs, wild horses, a woman playing an Indian drum on one of the overlooks, and a buffalo hiding behind a fence on a ranch like he was going to jump out at one of his buddies. Beautiful spot--well worth the time.
