Cottonwood Group Site in ND
National Park Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Located five miles inside Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit, this year-round facility offers a group site for 7 to 20 people set among cottonwood trees along the Little Missouri River. The site features picnic tables, vault toilets, drinking water, and a seasonal water fill station through October 1, though it lacks hookups and a dump station. Bison frequently pass through the area. Nearby draws include 70 miles of park trails, bird watching, the historic Peaceful Valley Ranch, and the gateway town of Medora.
The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad. Overhead clearance here is posted at 13 ft -- the tightest site sets the limit. Sits on broad, near-level ground.
