About this campground
Little Missouri State Park is situated along the Little Missouri River, just a short distance west of where it empties into Lake Sakakawea. The park can be accessed by way of Killdeer, 20 miles to the south, or New Town, 45 miles to the northeast. This 4,600-acre park consisting of rugged Badland terrain and river wetlands was established in 1971, however has been increasingly encroached upon by oil drilling operations since 2011. Despite this, there’s still plenty of opportunity to get out and enjoy the scenery on more than 45 miles of hiking and riding trails throughout the park.

Reviews
Overall, this campsite offers a fantastic experience with immaculate grounds and stunning views, particularly at sunrise over the badlands. Campers appreciate the abundance of hiking trails and the helpful staff, making it a great value for the price. However, some reviewers noted that the toilets could be cleaner, and the campground's distance from Theodore Roosevelt National Park may be a drawback for some. Additionally, the site primarily caters to horseback riders, which may not appeal to all campers.
