Thoedore Roosevelt NP camping

I plan on spending a few days exploring TRNP with the family (wife %26amp; kids 9,7,5) this August on our way West and was looking for information on the campgrounds. Is there a difference between the North and South units and what can I expect for temperatures (should I opt. for something with AC?). We are a seasoned camping family but it will be a long trip and I want to keep the peace.

The average high for August is 82 degrees. The average low is 54. Both the South Unit and the North Unit are wonderfully scenic and would be worth touring. The town of Medora is the gateway to the South Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. There you will find gift shops, museums, horseback riding and more including the unforgettable Medora Musical This broadway-style musical takes place in the Burning Hills Ampitheater. You can find this information at www.medora.com. You will also find camping choices there along with their amenities.

I know alot of people that really enjoy camping in that area because it%26#39;s so incredibly scenic and beautiful. If you would like ideas about what to do on your way to and from the North Dakota Badlands, let me know. Our office has great sample itineraries available. You can also log on to: www.ndtourism.com for more information.

August can get hot days but you just never know if you%26#39;ll hit during those few blazing times. I think both units are just lovely though around Medora has more people (but also has fun things too like the musical, Chateau de Mores, etc.). I would definately recommend the musical and pitchfork fondue...I loved it but there%26#39;s lots for kids to love too.

I know there%26#39;s a campground in Medora but the trains run through that town a lot....there was one West of town on my way out to Buffalo Gap Ranch that was out in the country more and looked very scenic. You%26#39;d be close enough to town for restaurants, supplies, etc. (plus I though the bar/restaurant at Buffalo Gap was very good and you can see tons of wildlife from their deck), but still get some peace and quiet at night. Good luck!!

August can be warm, but should not be too bad. There is one drive-in campground in Theodore Roosevelt National Park%26#39;s South Unit which you can view here:

I prefer the South Unit myself due to easier access, but the North Unit is very scenic as well.

The average high for July in TRNP is 87, and the average low is 54. Definitely bring sunscreen and hats. IMHO the water at the campground tastes pretty bad, so bring your own if you are picky.

You will see ALOT of wildlife at Theodore Roosevelt. IT%26#39;s a great park but I would not chew up too much trip time there. Yellowstone and Glacier offer much grander scenery and water-based activities.
