Red Trail Campground, Medora, ND: Aug 24-26
Medora's sole reason for existence seems to be as a gateway to the South Unit of TRNP. Red Trail CG is Passport America and is a very pleasant park to use as a springboard into TRNP, though also on the pricey side, even at half price. They have a couple that stays there all season and sings & plays "classic country" every evening (yes, 7 nights/week without break -- I don't know how they stand it!).
There is a 29-mile Scenic Loop Drive that we drove twice. The badlands of North Dakota are beautiful, and we never tired of seeing them. We were also talked into seeing the "Medora Musical", presented as a "must see" by one and by all. Except us. One woman we talked to had seen it every year since she started coming here & that was 16 years ago. As for us, suffice to say once was enough. The small part with the Chinese acrobats was the only saving grace for us.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 9:48 PM
