Roundup Group Horse Camp

About

Roundup Group Horse Camp offers exclusive use camping in the rugged badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit. This is the park's only facility where horses are permitted overnight, making it the primary base camp for equestrian exploration of the park's estimated 70 miles of backcountry trails. The site accommodates groups of up to 20 people with 20 horses, or 30 people camping without horses. The campground features vault toilets, seasonal potable water, picnic tables, and corrals for horses. The site is fairly large, accommodating vehicles and trailers. Only certified weed-free forage is allowed in the park. Campfires must be contained in provided grills or fully contained fire pans, though fire restrictions are common during dry conditions. The campground is gated for privacy, with the lock combination provided to registered campers upon arrival at the park entrance. The Little Missouri River, the defining feature of the badlands landscape, winds through the park nearby. Check-in and check-out time is noon, with a maximum stay of 5 nights during the operating season.
