Theodore Roosevelt National Park Comments & Reviews
Visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Theodore Roosevelt National Park?
When do you close for the Winter please
Hi Rosemary,
Theodore Roosevelt National Park (and its campgrounds) are open year round. The campgrounds do have limited facilities/services in the winter (vault toilets). And be advised that there are no hookups at the park’s campgrounds.
Where about are the two group sites located on their respective campground maps? I can’t seem to figure it out.
HI Bee,
The group campsite at Theodore Roosevelt National Park is in Cottonwood campground (site 25). You can view the campground map showing where the group site 25 is on the Theodore Roosevelt National Park campground page.
