Juniper Campground

Juniper Campground in Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s North Unit is a hidden gem for campers looking for a peaceful yet scenic retreat. Based on our experience, one of the standout benefits of this campground is the ease of access—no long wait times or difficult reservation systems to deal with, even in 2024. We were able to pull in and secure a stunning riverside campsite without a reservation, which added to the spontaneous charm of the trip. The location offers spectacular views and is surrounded by the natural beauty of the park, with wildlife sightings being a regular occurrence. Bison, longhorn cattle, and prairie dogs roam nearby, bringing you up close to nature without ever leaving the campground. As a bonus, the campground is a perfect starting point for various hikes, including trails that begin right from the campground itself. Our riverside spot was serene, with views of the Little Missouri River and a beautiful sunset to cap off each day. The campground itself offers simple but sufficient amenities, including picnic tables, fire pits, and a peaceful environment perfect for those who want to connect with nature. If you're looking for a camping experience where you can immerse yourself in the park's beauty without the hassle of reservations or overcrowding, Juniper Campground is ideal. The combination of wildlife, hiking opportunities, and river views makes it a must-visit destination in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone looking to explore the North Unit in its full glory!
