AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on CZcams are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
I live by the north unit of the park. I grew up on the west coast but have lived here for about 20 years. I miss my family and the smell of the ocean, but there is something majestic about watching a badlands sunrise and sunset every day.
I hope you had a good time :)
Well it's going to be a little more crowded now, but they'll all be Loloho people, so good folks.
Glad you enjoyed your stay in our great State of North Dakota. Medora is a tourist town with some great attractions. The top two things are the Pitchfork Steak Fondue, and the Medora Musical. There are other animals you may encounter on your drive through the scenic loop in TRNP. We go almost every year and see bison, wild horses, prairie dogs, deer, pronghorn, elk, fox, coyote, and many species of birds. There are plenty of walking/hiking trails; you can rent a bike or go horseback riding; stay at the Medora Campground and go for a hike by the nearby stream and hills. There are so many things to do if you are an active person; so many different attractions available to see and lots of entertainment; plenty of unique shops; homemade ice cream is awesome; and for those who are more laid back, lots of scenery. We usually stay at the Medora Campground which is larger and more peaceful.
This was our 1st western national park. We were amazed by the scenery. Went to the restroom one morning and had to wait 15 minutes on a male bison to move away from the trailer. He was grazing 15 to 20 feet from our 18 ft trailer. Wife was inside taking photos. We stayed in south unit but also spent a whole day visiting the north unit. North unit is worth the drive.
Aw. I hope Baby Girl is okay now. She's so precious.
We hope Baby Girl has a complete and speedy recovery, the little sweetheart 💕🙏❤️. Those big, precious eyes🥰
Thank you so much! She's already doing much better!
HEY YOU TWO!!!!! ... This is a long overdue thank you .... we picked up our 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite 2109s last year in Ohio, driving from Idaho, then drove up thru Michigan and across the states on I-94 till we got to Theodore Roosevelt National Park .... we stayed there 5 days and entered the Park twice a day and saw something different everyday ... thank you for the info and what a blast we had ... Thank you again and maybe we'll see you this fall in the Tetons ... Larry and Cathy
Haven't put anything on my bucket list in quite a while. TR National Park has been added. Thanks for the great video.
Assateague National Park is known for its wild/feral horses 🐎
Yes! Although technically Assateague is a national seashore, not one of the 62 national parks.
We love Theadore National Park. Been there twice. The campground in Medora (Medora Campground) had full hookups - that is where we stayed. The Medora musical was fun to see. As for National Parks with wild horses, Assateague National Park in Maryland has wild ponies roaming about (also in the State Park). They swim to Chincoteague Island in Virginia during the pony roundup every year. Great video!
We were there last summer. Loved it!
Went there on our honeymoon trip to Seattle in 2002 and made a return stop there a couple of years back on the way up to Glacier (also both on the way to Seattle.) You are correct, it's a nice park. Would be nice if they put in a dump in the south park. However they do have a "dump sink" in the south restroom where I drained my gray into a 5 gal bucket and carried it up there to dump it. And the generator time is 10-10 (it was in the 90's when we were last there.)
Loved Teddy Roosevelt NP! Lots of history, beautiful views and wildlife to see!
I believe the Nokota horse is a mix of Spanish horses brought from the southern USA and local native American horses (a ranch near Medora bought 60 mares that were confiscated from Sitting Bull's herd and bred with the Spanish horses). Some of them have a beautiful bluish or purplish tint to them.
We just left the park, what a wonderful place. Had to wait about an hour for the Bison to decide to clear the road once.
Haven’t watched all your videos but Mount Lassen National Park is another low traffic gem.
I have not been to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but I'm thinking I will. I just sold my house and I'll be moving into a motor home full time in January or February. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Sounds great! Thanks!
Another great video. We spent a week there last summer. We saw dozens of wild turkey in the North Section jumping several feet into to air eating berries on bushes. The North Section was pristine with almost no visitors.
We stayed in the campground in the South Section. One night our neighbors, after attending the Medora dinner show, had a buffalo walk in front of their car. Buffalo was unhurt. Car was wrecked. Good thing it was towed behind their RV or their vacation would have been over.
Can't wait for your little doggie to be all better!
Thank you! She's certainly improving, but probably needs another week of healing before we can leave.
We spent 4 days there in June 2018 and totally loved it. Saw the wild horses, prairie dogs and lots of bison. Being from California, we really didn’t know what to expect but we loved it. Would definitely go again. Thank you again, for your fun, information packed videos. Loloho!
In and around Death Valley N.P. especially just outside the park on the Nevada side, they have a couple of herds of wild horses. Also some wild horses near where burning man is held in NV. Great video!
We passed it by the first year., with just a stop at the welcome center. Have seen several reviews that suggest we made a poor decision, but not sure we will be near in the foreseeable future. Maybe we will just have to make an effort as part of a future Canadian trip. Across from the East, down into ND, over to the East side of Glacier and off to finish in CA. Maybe the reverse is a better plan. Have to give that trip a long think through. Thanks for the video. Thanks for the contribution you have made. Best wishes for a good recovery of your pup.
We tent camped in the park about 6 years ago, before we moved into our motorhome full time. Loved the park and all the wildlife. Bison ran through the park early one morning. It felt like a freight train going through our campground.
We were there for a few days the summer of 2018. Medora was pretty much shut down because we were after the peak season but that just meant we had the park even more to ourselves. The prairie dogs were adorable, the wild horses were amazing, and we saw a bison on its back rolling in the dirt kicking up those spindly little legs with wild abandon. It struck me as the perfect park to camp at if you have a few days, a good book and some time for day hikes. It was also pretty interesting to see initials carved in the cabin from Teddy Roosevelt and crew, and it made him a bit more human to know he spent time there while grieving.
We loved traveling to TRNP a year ago. Only go to see the South Unit because I was at a conference. FANTASTIC PARK for hikers and explorers!
Thank you, Sean and Christy, for your videos. We were newbies in January 2020, did a six week trip Feb-mid-March 2020, then 2 weeks in the fall and then this year, we left at the end of May for 10+ weeks. We didn’t make it to Alaska because the Canadian border was still closed, but we DID have the “trip of a lifetime”. TRNP was one of our stops and it was great seeing the hikes we took on your video (it was MUCH HOTTER when we were there the third week of July of this year. Saw so many animals! Thanks so much for your hints, travel tips, and sense of humor. We hope to see you on the road!
Very entertaining video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope Baby Girl gets better.
I love Destiination videos like this.
Hope baby girl is feeling better soon.
Thank you! 💗
We love Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We live in ND. I've seen more bison (pronounced bizon) in Theodore Roosevelt then we did in Yellowstone. There's a large petrified forest near by that's worth hiking to. The North Unit has features that the South unit doesn't have. Camping in the park can be quite exciting when a heard of bison walk through your campsite. We've had that happen twice, once during rutting season, in a tent. Don't forget about the Medora Musical. Great family western show. Even our son who doesn't like country music enjoyed the show.
I haven't been through the park in several years, but I stop at Painted Canyon every time I travel from MT to MN and back again. Well worth the stop and maybe next time I'll have to take the time to go through the park again.
I grew up in North Dakota the west is truly a amazing place. My Family is deeply rooted there and house hold name. My grandfather lived and ran the peaceful valley ranch trail rides for a number of years. If you eat at the Cowboy Cafe you will see his picture with his brothers who were highly successful Bronc riders more importantly eat there great food. Medora Musical is a must for any traveler. Dickinson has very small but nice dinosaur museum with replicas of bones that were unearthed from hell’s creek which is the dig site in the badlands. Finally you showed it nobody does storm fronts like NoDak. Thanks for showcasing my state park and great job showing it to the world.
Assateague Island in Maryland also has wild horses. Oh and ticks...
We’re heading to Medora/TRNP next week - will be our first time. Hopefully it’s still not busy!
We’re there now. Were just at the visitors center overlook today. We’re staying at Buffalo Gap Guest Ranch. Full hookups $35/night. At exit 18. Medora I’s exit 24.
We were there about a year ago. We made a wrong turn and ended up at the rest area you are speaking of. To our surprise, there was a heard of bison coming into the rest area. It was amazing and we got some great shots. There were probably 30 to 40 bison. Later, we went into the park and were way back in one of the off shot roads when a hear of bison came over a hill, cross the road, went into a ditch area, then proceeded up the hill. And we had it all to our selves! We did stay one night in a primitive campground west of Medora, $6.00 a night, and it was so peaceful, quiet, and dark. Loved it and would highly recommend it for a night or two. Thanks for sharing your expierence.
Thanks for the info. Now that I am retired, it's time to explore and get out of the heat.
Assateague National Park has a wild herd! That is what they are all about!
As a wildlife biologist, thank you for giving a few specifics on the feral horses, it's a pretty sensitive topic! The feral horses in Arizona, Nevada, and other areas are an absolute destroyer of desert, range, and forest habitat, and a huge impact to native wildlife, because they are not managed. It's incredibly difficult to even discuss management options with horse supporters because they don't want to see even one moved or touched. Sadly, it's simply not a good situation for either native wildlife, or the horse, as they will overpopulate and crash at some point, or continue moving into new areas and start destroying those.
We were there Nov 2019. Drove from Portland OR to Green Bay for a wedding. Saw the park and stopped in. Weather was cool..in the mid 50’s , no snow, sunny. Besides a single photographer chasing the wild horses and the single park ranger at the desk, we were the only ones in the park. Saw all the mentioned critters and both whitetail and mule deer bucks, antelope too. Beautiful park. I’m sure it’s busier in the summer, but I think a late Sept to mid Oct visit would be a great time. Good time to see the Blackhills as well.
We have only done the North Unit as we headed east from Glacier. Loved the bison walking through the park. Had no issue getting a campsite and we were able to attend a ranger led talk. Very peaceful park with a great sunset when we were there.
Stopped at the park on the way home from our trip to Alaska, in late July 2019. We stayed in the NP campground and had a great time. And yes it was not very crowded.
Your videos are awesome(a true tourist guide capture!). I've visited Medora a few times and each time discover something new. The badlands are the gem of ND, because the rest of the state is geographically so different.
Lovely, thank you!
Awesome Park, the North section is so full of Buffalo and more, great drive.
One of my favorite parks! Beautiful!
We were at the south unit in 2018, one day after visiting Yellowstone. Going in, we didn't think it could compare. While not as grand, Teddy Roosevelt definitely holds its own. A bison herd stopped on the road while a mother fed her baby. By the time they finally moved on, the bison jam totaled 4 cars. We plan to return to see the north unit and Teddy's cabin. Just take it easy and enjoy the much slower pace.
Yes, I agree. It isn't Yellowstone or the Tetons, but it has charms all its own. And it's nice feeling like you have the place to yourself! :D
I have to admit I wasn't all that aware of Theodore Roosevelt NP. If I had been, I'm sure I would have added it to our itinerary when we visited Mesa Verde, Capital Reef, Salt Lake City, Crater's of the Moon, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Bozeman, MT, Cody, WY, Little Big horn NB, the Black Hills and Devil's Tower. I'm sure we could have added another NP to our list of places to see. :)
Now it had been added to another trip out west.
Visiting in 3 weeks. Can’t wait!
Beautiful.
We were there last fall. It was beautiful. Well worth the stop - we stayed three nights.
Very social distancing friendly. Looks to be a great place to check out!
Loved Theodore Roosevelt NP, one of the best we’ve been to. Thanks LOLOHO for highlighting this wonderful NP. You guys are great!
The bison scratching his belly on the stump🤣. Love TRNP❤️
I guess he had to get creative! Seemed to be just the right height for him too! 😂
This ones on my list! Thanks for the great video!
We stopped at Theodore Rosevelt National Park on our way to Alaska. The campground was full when we arrived. We camped a few miles south of Medora at Sully Creek State Park. A basic campground with great showers! Loved seeing the wild horses on the Scenic Loop Drive!
We were there last week. Very beautiful however about 22 miles on the loop it was closed.
Yes, we heard they were doing a bit of construction right now.
Thank you for bringing to light this park. We do start there often and even spent some of our honeymoon
I call it a "hidden gem". We probably wouldn't have gone there if our son wasn't working as a Park Ranger there 3 summers ago. But we're so glad we did. It' really not on the way to anything...except maybe Glacier depending on where you're coming from (we're from PA). Worth the trip out of your way for sure. We went back a second time, the following summer. Camped at a little place closest to the South entrance. We found the hiking better in the North section. Great review, thanks.
This is one of our most favorite places--EVER. I've been more times than I can count as a kid with my family and now with my own kids and each time has a unique memory...wading in the Little Missouri river, the scenic loops at day break and sunset (talk about amazing scenery and unique animal views), getting trapped in the public restroom by a strolling herd of buffalo and seeing a badger strolling through a prairie dog town. We were just there in July 2020 and already making plans to go back again. Thank you for highlighting this special place!!
We were there for a week in June 2019. The bison would walk thru the campground of an evening going to the river then walk back thru of a morning to graze. When you step out of your RV and there is Bison hair hanging in the tree outside your door, 8 feet in the air, you realize how large the Bulls truly are. The park is so beautiful and the wild horses were amazing to watch. Love your vlogs MCG
Yes, sounds like an awesome experience!
We absolutely loved Theodore Roosevelt NP!
Well worth the visit. Lovely country. Huge history.
Went there back in June... loved it!!
That's one park I've never thought about. Heard about and knew very little! Breathtaking!!
I have been and I loved it.
Was there in 09 right after July 4. Had the place to ourselves. Best NP I've been to.
We are definitely going to visit next year thank you for sharing.
Thank you for letting us explore and enjoy your trip with you. You are terrific!
Hope your baby girl gets well soon!
Thank you! 💗
Thanks for the tips very informative.
We had no idea this national park existed. We will visit! Thanks and we hope y’all have a wonderful week.
Great and informative video.
Welcome to ND!
Loved this video! Thanks so much for sharing the scenic views and all the info. 😁👍
How appropriate, we will there in two weeks
So will we.
Great, enjoy! Heck, we would like to be out there ourselves. We will see!
thanks
I recall you saying awhile back that you experienced a reduction in the number of subscribers and now I have been unsubscribed! Not by my doing and I wouldn't have known it but that I didn't get your weekly vlog this week. Well I am subscribing agin today and hopefully it will stick! We enjoy your weekly videos and we look forward to getting back "out there" very soon!!
Thank you for resubscribing!
Enjoying your video re this venerable Park. We are planning on visiting there in a few days and are really looking forward to it!
Nice job, as always, with your videos!
We loved TRNP. The solitude and quiet were the high points because my wife had been reading stories of the pioneers’ journeys and we could get some small sense of what they experienced. We were there pre cell phone so it was really, really quiet and just falling asleep to the sound of the river and night critters was heavenly.
Looks beautiful guys thank you. From South Australia 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺
Wow, another great destination. I’m putting that on our list, totally! I’m glad your Baby girl is doing better. 💕
We were there about 2 weeks ago. Awesome park and wasn't crowded at all. Enjoyed the drive and even went the 50 miles to the northern part of the park.
We just went a few days ago. It was beautiful (we also happened to stay at Red Trail Campground) lives TRNP .. so much wildlife!
We just left the park a few weeks ago. Loop in south unit was closed due to roads washed out. You can still drive to the furthest point and come back. Still worth the drive.
Been there, enjoyed. No crowds!
What a gem. I've never been, but it's on my ever growing list of places to go. Hope that baby girl continues to improve!
Thank you! She's doing better!
Visited both the North and South and it was beautiful and not crowded, were there in May and not many people there. The Bison came thru our camp every night and morning. Loved it.
Thank you so much! We plan on going there next fall. I was interested just because of the history. I've read a couple of books by Teddy Roosevelt about hunting and ranching in this area. It is great to know that there is scenic beauty as well as history.
We’re planning to go next year! I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing the wild horses.
Good information guys thx sounds like something we would like to visit
We visited TRNP last year and really liked it. Dry camped inside the park with our 35’ Montana and while others were there camping our site seemed very private. It’s a great park! I am somewhat surprised you did not mention the Medora musical held nightly. It’s an awesome show that’s been going on for over 55 years. Very well done and well worth the not-so-cheap price of admission (we paid $100 for the two of us in 2019). We will probably go back. Should have this summer on our western trip!
Looks like a beautiful park. One day I’ll get to go there.
great info pics and vid shots we are hoping to get there this year or next
Visited the park a few years back. We absolutely loved it! When one thinks of the Badlands, one typically does not think of rich green color throughout. Not only was there plenty of green, the variation in color in the rocks was spectacular. Something that I liked that others might not like, is that you can walk the paths without worrying about encountering a bear. There are absolutely no bears in this park. Can’t recommend the place enough!
You guys give the best advice hank you
We will be there next week, we are so excited.
Looks like a great place to visit! Maryland has assateague national park with wild horses on the east coast have many happy memories
I am a new subscriber guys, starting my RV journey with my dog at Theodore Roosevelt next week! Its so awesome that you JUST made this video. I hope to see you guys along the way. Thanks for all the great video and tips.
Good deal! We've been all over that area many times but never had the time to do this park. Watching your video was the tipping point! We're making Theadore Roosevelt National Park a destination on our next trip out!!!
Thanks for a great video. We enjoy your channel...😷😷😷😁
