Campgrounds of Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt has two separate units, the North Unit and the South Unit. Each has their own developed campground, with the much busier South Unit’s being a little larger, and allowing advance reservations.

Open: All Year
Reservations: Online
Location: 5.6 miles from the entrance in the South Unit
Amenities: Running water, flush toilets, grills and picnic tables – limited in winter

Open: All Year
Reservations: No, first come, first served
