Our Take
What makes CCC Campground (ND) special
Tucked into the rugged Badlands of western North Dakota, CCC Campground offers 31 sites spread across three intimate loops near the town of Watford City. This is big-sky country at its most dramatic, where sculpted buttes and striped clay formations glow in shades of rust and gold at sunrise and sunset. The campground sits within easy reach of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, one of the most underrated gems in the entire national park system, where bison, wild horses, and elk roam across a landscape that inspired a young Roosevelt to become America's greatest conservation president. The three-loop layout gives campers a sense of privacy and neighborhood all at once. Whether you are road-tripping across the northern plains or making a dedicated pilgrimage to the Badlands, this campground serves as an ideal base camp. Days here are best spent hiking the park's wind-carved coulees, scanning the prairie for wildlife, and driving the scenic loop roads that reveal new vistas around every bend. Evenings reward you with some of the darkest skies in the lower 48, perfect for stargazing from your campsite. CCC Campground is a quiet, no-frills gateway to one of North Dakota's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
