- This is the most UNDERRATED National Park! It't the ONE park you should plan to visit this year AND it just might be the best National Park for Kids!
Camping in Theodore Roosevelt National Park!
I was eager to camp at Theodore Roosevelt National Park because I had done little research and I love North and South Dakota. I expected open prairie land and bison, but I found soo much more!
Theodore Roosevelt is located in the south west corner of North Dakota. It hosts badlands, petrified wood, wild bison and wild horses. It's right next to Medora, North Dakota which offers the comforts of town without chain restaurants or hotels.
It is important to know that this is the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and there are two others, the North Unit and Elkhorn Ranch. The other two sections are great for hiking and really escaping from everything. The South section of TRNP is perfect for a family vacation. Which is one of the reasons why I was surprised at how little traffic there was in the park.
After visiting 50 National Parks, I've decided this Theodore Roosevelt NP might be the very best for families with small kids. So often people ask where they should take their kids under 10 and I think this is the place! You have many trails including the ones to a petrified forest. There are badlands similar to badlands national park, but it is smaller and more accessable. There are wild animals- horses, bison, and prairie dogs which are a kid favorite for sure! Plus the town of Medora is an old west designed town with local restaurants, entertainment and hotels for easy access. Bonus points for ice cream and pizza!
The National Park is well designed and easy to explore. The National Park even had a "Best for Last" stamp for anyone saving North Dakota as their last state to explore!
If you're looking for a less crowded National Park, I recommend this one!
Theodore Roosevelt National Park rests on the indigenous homelands of the Cheyenne Nations.

I use the Native Lands website and App to learn the history of people native to the areas that are now national parks. This is a great place to learn more about the people of America and this history of where you live. native-land.ca/

Great video. I’m looking forward to visiting this summer.
May 17, 2024 Thank you 👍
Loved your video, as we just were there! But couldn’t go to the ranch. Did see lots of prairie dogs and wild horses. Plus many shows in Medora, loved it all. Your photography is lovely, thanks for showing our memories.
It’s such a beautiful place and it’s fun to hear you loved it as much as I did!!
Beautiful park. Thanks for sharing. Loved seeing the wildlife. Adding it to my bucket list.
It’s a great place to really escape! You’ll love it!
Just found your channel (prepping for my first visit to TRNP) and had to subscribe! You have such a positive attitude! I really enjoyed watching and appreciate you sharing your adventures!!
So happy you found it useful! Medora, ND is such a cute town and also has a lot to do. When you’re headed to TRNP make sure you plan a little extra time to spend in town. So many Theodor Roosevelt themed things to do! I hope you have such a good time. It’s beautiful! Thanks for following along too!!
So much fun! And so much time outdoors. Happy for you:)
It really was a full weekend of exploring outside!
This is my first park to visit on my summer trip this June. I can't wait. Excited 💯.
It’ll be a great one to visit first! It felt like a smaller version of 4 other parks.
We visited TRNP many years ago with our kids. It wa as void of people then. I loved that park and we used it as a stay over on our way to Glacier NP. I love love loved the drive across Montana to GNP- so straight and flat with fabulous vista every minute. We stopped at a roadside stop where Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance kid robbed a train, the largest train robbery in US history at the time. It was a great lunch spot near Wagner Montana- if you're going that direction.
That’s a great memory! I love that area and into Montana. It was my first time to the state and it was so beautiful!
Wow awesome thanks so much for sharing
Happy you liked it!!
Heyyy! love your content! I am always taking notes for when travel the USA! from Spainnn!!!
That’s fun! You’ll need to plan it all on a big road trip!!
Only good thing about this pandemic is it got alot of people out in nature. Did you not go to petrified forest n.p, I didn't see a video in your list. Thanks for sharing 😀👍
I did! It was just a few videos ago after the Grand Canyon. I did see this park first even through the videos are out of order. It was much more of a surprise here!
Ok found it😀
"Never underestimate someone with a fanny pack. " 😃😂😎
It’s very true 😅
Which do you prefer, Theodore Roosevelt or Badlands?
Hard choice! I’d say Theodore Roosevelt because of its seclusion, but Badlands would be better for first time visitors because it’s close to Wall and Rapid City!
they want to remove the horse's 😢
I hadn’t heard that yet 😔
yes a group called chasing wild horses has website trying to help they are in medora. it's just the park director. The state and and others want them there. Every phone call and email mail helps.
