Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is located where the Great Plains meet the North Dakota Badlands. This national treasure is home to a wide variety of wildlife and offers endless opportunities for outdoor fun. The park is far too big to explore in a day, so most visitors bring a tent or RV to one of the three campgrounds so that they can fully enjoy the facilities.

Activities to try include hiking along a variety of trails suitable for all ability levels, biking, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. You can join a ranger-led program at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, visit historic sites such as the Maltese Cross Cabin, where Roosevelt slept, and visit the Painted Canyon Visitor Center to admire some of the best views of the North Dakota Badlands.
