well maintained sites. off the beaten path. Can't beat the cost of the site with electricty included and water available. The NP campsite was 2/3 full when we were there. CCC campground had 2 other campers total during our 2 night stay

Nice campground and love the first come first serve. It’s not always easy knowing where (or what time) you’re going to end up for the day, so the ability to grab a site without prior commitment is nice.

I almost don’t want to write a review and let others know how good this campground was!! Beautiful setting and a nice trail adjacent. Also so incredible to have an electric campsite for ten dollars! Would camp here again. Was never full when we were here early September

wonderful spot to access the north unit of TR National Park. Restrooms were clean but left full of water after the power washing. They should have been squeegeed or blown out with a handheld blower. All the parking pads were graveled but soft to drive on. The truck tires sunk in about 3-4”. It was a quiet 3 nights and even though the MDH trail was under construction we got to enjoy part of it.

Wonderful campground, close enough to see a bison jam in Teddy Roosevelt NP scenic drive which is literally next door. Arrive with water as the water here needs major filtration but it was wonderful to have power. Also the trailhead of the Maah Daah Hey trail is right in the campground. Saw plenty of “evidence” of bison but none on the trail. There’s also a prairie dog town right by the dumpster. A great alternative to the NP
