Even though we went through the bottom portion, we were able to see some horses and look out at the beautiful views. We were able to get junior ranger books and badges. I even got to get a magnet from the little shop at the painted canyon visitor center. It was much hotter than we thought it would be, so we were not able to do any hikes during our visit in July. But even just driving through the land was beautiful.

This visit was a quick ride out at the end of our time off. We went to the North Unit first (has a…read moreseparate page) then on to South Unit (this one) Theodore Roosevelt National Park remains a lesser visited park. No over-crowding, decent rustic camping, lots of wildlife & plenty of space to roam. South Unit loop has a lot of construction going right now, which makes it an out & back va a loop. We spotted plenty of bison, horses, prairie dogs, deer & such. There was a pretty thick layer of smoke lingering, no fault of the park but it did make for a rough outdoor time & lousy landscape photos. I've been a lot of places and have to see a better sunset than I've seen here. It's a great place to unplug & reconnect with nature.

If you want to ride a bike or walk to the attractions knowing that it is a jammed pack campground, you'll be happy. All services are adequate and not fancy. The people running the campground are strict, but they have their reasons, they have been doing this a very long time and know their system. If you are looking for quiet, spacious and nature, choose another location. You're paying for the proximity to attractions. We had a nice dinner at Theodore's Diner and walked everywhere. It is a clean town in a beautiful surrounding.

There are kind of three sections: First section is an open area for RV with utilities, next is an area for camping with horses and stalls, and the last area (where we stayed) is a forest area with much vegetation and no utilities. The forest area is close to a very small and summer mosquito creek. All have a picnic table and fire pit. Where we stayed with our 25' RV was very tight and the entry says no higher than 10' which we are 12'. We brushed trees and shrubs, and we were not the only ones to manage to squeeze in. Not for large RV's in the forest area. Booking can be done online and on-site, but it was full during our September visit. Someone even tried to take our site with the reserved sign noting it was taken. No issues and they moved on. There is a shower house, bathrooms, dump station, water and trash. Good place to stay and hike especially while the National Park was closed to camping. It is down a 1/2 mile gravel road and a state ranger station and camp host are on site.

Here at Sully Creek State Park you can see an active stream of water eroding part of the Badlands. The Little Missouri River erodes each part of its surroundings including the stones. Which gave my husband, Peter, and Esther a great experience skipping rocks on the water. This river gives the animals around a source of water. We have seen deer and a fox while simply driving into this park. This is definitely a great place to touch, view, and experience the river that has been shaping this landscape for thousands of years.

This little gem of a park was listed on our ND 12 months/12 hikes list & we decided it was the perfect time to give it a try. It's located just outside of Roosevelt National Park & the terrain is very similar. We hiked out through badlands and grasslands vegetation. At times, the overgrowth was chest deep & there are several thorny plants covering the trails, as well as cacti. My legs were pretty well shredded. Be sure to load a map prior to heading out, as there is very limited cell service & we hit quite a few spots where the trail split with no signs / areas where there was no visible trail split, but you needed to walk a few feet over from the trail you were on to get on the trail you need to be on - very frustrating to have to double back to find it, when not actively tracking progress. Mosquitoes are almost as thick as the grasshoppers and there's a lot of open area- bring bug repellent if they find you tasty & sun protection, along with plenty of water. Watch for washouts/ trail closure signs. You'll likely see deer & cows, possibly snakes. The views are magnificent at times, especially at the start/finish. Fabulous sunset on the way out too! Before we left, we filled our bottles with nice, cold water from the fill station.

He had some great insight on good trails and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay and a good time while at the park.

It's the smallest county seat in the country? The cabin was amazing and comfy- super quaint and clean inside. They also have an awesome bar on site if you'd like to head down into the "bunker bar" for a drink. I'm pretty sure everyone from the whole town was in the bar. Friendly folks no complaints. Saw the prettiest sunset of my life right there at their spot among the grasslands.

Owner gave us the spot number and said to call if issues. Got there after dark. Super SUPER small. Rvs that were there we're practically on top of each other. There was someone in the spot that had been assigned to us so we called the owner. No answer. Waited and called again. No answer. It looked like there was ONE other spot open but hard to tell so we called one more time and still no answer. (We had left a message each time we called.) by this time we had no choice, in the dark, in the cold, in the rain, to drive BACK an hour to the closest rv park. Finally after OVER 45 minutes since we had FIRST called, the owner called us back and said someone had parked in our spot but we could have taken "any other spot"... any other spot? You mean the ONE spot that appeared to be open but how were we to know someone else wasn't going to show up and find us in their spot?? Great way to NOT run a business, not to mention the danger of us driving down dark backroads for an hour in the rain to get back to the nearest well lit, well maintained, well run rv park. Funny because even though we had called that rv park after hours in our haste to find a place to stay for the night, someone answered right away and went through their reservations to find us an open spot and arrange for us to have a place. in a nutshell, Abidon was a joke. Stay away.
