Sully Creek State Park – États-Unis

As of the end of September 2022, exit 27 off I 94 was closed so we followed the signage to exit 24 where we easily followed the signs to Sully Creek SP. We were early so no one was in the check-in trailer/office. We proceeded to fill fresh water near the dump station. The potable water pressure was low, about 10 psi so it took a long time to fill our tank. While we were filling the tank, the ranger came by and let us know we were good to go as we had purchased the ND state park pass at our last stop. We then proceeded to pull through site 8 with electric only (50/30/20 AMP) in the Whitetail Flats Campground (CG). There are three campground areas: Whitetail Flats with electric, Little Muddy Breaks (horse camping only with electric plus stalls), and Cedar (dry camping with very nice campsites in a wooded setting). Whitetail Flats is essentially a large field with sites periodically set about and not crowded together. The Cedar CG has a 10’ height restriction with sites set into the trees. We received no OTA channels and satellite connection was not an issue as there are only a few trees in Whitetail Flats. We received 1 bar on both Verizon and T-Mobile. We were impressed with the shower house. Though older, the shower house had been remodeled and the fixtures were in great shape. The shower rooms have a sink and regular house-type showers. We enjoyed great water pressure and hot showers. Pls note that there are no toilets in the shower house, but there’s a vaulted toilet adjacent near the office. We were here towards the end of September, and glad we had wasp spray. Bring several cans just in case as there is no place to purchase bug spray in Medora. If you like to golf, Bully Pulpit Golf Course is a great 18-hole course with some fantastic views and challenging, but fun holes. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back.

It was early in the season (Mid-May 2016) and I was the only camper in the campground most of the time. A few tent campers on the weekend, otherwise the campground was mine. So very peaceful and great for having a dog since there is not much for them to do at the Theodore Roosevelt NP. I stayed in the main campground loop that is basically a big grass field ( site #9), which all of these sites will have excellent solar because there are no trees. The Cedars Loop area is very nice but I didn't know how long I was going to stay and there was snow forecasted for the area, so I just took the easy way. The Cedars Loop can be doable for many trailers but I would advised to park your trailer and just walk the loop initially as there are a few sharp turns and low hanging trees. Some of the sites will be better accessed by going left from the gate into Cedars Loop versus right. Most of the Cedar Loop sites will see shade at some point during the day, but there are still many sites that solar will be okay. Also there is a 14' limit to enter the park which will probably not be a problem for most campers. As far as cellular service, my site (#9) was closer to the canyon walls and thus did not get great service (3G most times and very slow). However, it seemed that further away from this site, the service was better. The perk for this park is updated, private showers which cost $1.00 for 8 minutes which gives most people adequate time. Water faucets around the campground area and a dump station here. However, without a state park pass, there is a daily entrance fee.

We pulled into TRNP without reservations and found the Cottonwood Campground full, with several RVs playing musical chairs in the hope that a first-come, first-served site would open up. We left and quickly found Sully Creek State Park just a few minutes down the road. Sully Creek caters to horseback riders and mountain bikers who are riding the park’s many trails, and it also serves as the trailhead for the famous 96-mile Maah Daah Hey trail that crosses Teddy Roosevelt National Park and ends in northern North Dakota. The north end of the campground (Little Muddy Breaks Campground) is for horses and their owners, and the corrals were full. South of the horse area there are about 20 spots for tent and RV camping, and this area was almost empty. You can choose a shaded site in the Cedar Campground (we did, as it was quite warm), or an open site in the Whitetail Flats Campground. Rigs longer than 40’ or taller than 10’ should opt for the Whitetail Flats area. All sites are primitive. Sully Creek offers beautiful scenery, easy access to Medora and Teddy Roosevelt, and miles of dog-friendly hiking trails. As TRNP is not dog-friendly, we visited the national park, and then gave our Lab all the exercise she wanted at our state park home base. Hiking trails follow the Little Missouri River, and some particularly scenic hikes go up into the hills at the south end of the campground. The mix of equestrians and RVers made camping here a unique experience, and we would pick this campground for a return visit.

Sully Creek State Park is a nice lazy getaway near Medora North Dakota. We are not big on the "RV Park" camping experience. So when we visit Medora we never choose either of the two RV parks that are right in the city. Previously we exclusively camped at the Cottonwood Campground in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We tried Sully Creek for the first time and all I can say is I'm impressed. The site quality and amenities are better than those we have experience in the National Park and yet you are still only 3 miles from Medora. Cell coverage was good and for the most part usable. The park is well kept and clean. We especially liked the dollar a shower, shower-house and the availability of an onsite dump station was also a plus. The campground is divided up into three distinct areas. One is for equestrian campers only and the other two are traditional primitive camping spots. The Cedar campground is much more protected but does have a 40' length and 10' heigh maximum to enter. The Whitetail Flats campground is wide open and offers excellent views of the Little Missouri River Valley. Our site in the Cedar campground was VERY spacious and well maintained. Access is given 4 stars only for the limited access to the Cedar campground and there is about 1/2 mile of gravel road to get into the park. The city of Medora is 3 miles away, Bully Pulpit golf course is about 2 miles away and the trailhead for the Maah Daah Hey Trail is right at the entrance to Sully Creek State Park. Overall I was very impressed with the sites and the experience at Sully Creek State Park! The campground was very quiet and peaceful with more open space then you get at Cottonwood Campground in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Showers and a dump station really helped elevate it to my new favorite campground in the Medora, North Dakota area.

Spacious site with sun for our solar panels. Hardly anyone there. Great boondocking spot.
