One email when a North Dakota owner lists a rig for those nights.
The South Unit's Cottonwood Campground holds 76 sites at a 50-ft cap, runs year-round (water off in winter), dry-camp with a dump station.
The North Unit's Juniper Campground is similar at a 35-ft cap, May through September. The two units sit 70 miles apart on I-94 with no connecting park road. Free-roaming feral horse bands — descended from settler stock and managed under a long-running NPS reduction program — are visible in the South Unit's Painted Canyon and Wind Canyon overlooks 80% of summer days per the park's wildlife sighting log. Scenic Loop Drive in the South Unit handles 50-ft rigs but the Juniper Loop in the North Unit narrows for 40-ft+ at the Oxbow Overlook turnaround.
What the length limit is measuring
- Pad length — the rig plus anything it tows
- Height — what the branches and the awning need
- Turning arc — the swing off the loop road
How the in-park dump station is used
- Waste outlet — under the rig, driver side
- Ground drain — hose seated, then the valve opens
- Rinse standpipe — non-potable, for the hose only
