Any tips of what to see or do in ND? Or good parks to visit?

Both the north and south units of Roosevelt N. P. are wonderful. The town of Medora is interesting. We especially enjoyed the Medora Musical. We have seen it twice over a 20 year period. Most recently we took the "behind the scenes" tour offered prior to the musical. It was very good.

We spent several days in Bismarck and really enjoyed our visit to Fort Lincoln State Park. This is the last fort that General Custer and the 7th Cavalry were stationed at. From Bismarck we headed up to Riverdale - staying at Downstream Campground which is run by the Army Corps of Engineers. We spent a couple days here checking out the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, the Knife River Indian Villages National Park and other historic sites. Our next stop was Williston. We stayed at the Lewis & Clark State Park. From here we day tripped to Fort Union Trading Post National Park and Fort Buford State Park.

I would agree with visiting both sections of Theodore Roosevelt National Park - the northern side is a bit out of the way so we chose to stay in Watford City overnight to visit it. We stayed in the White Buffalo Campground - nothing fancy but it met our needs for an overnight stop. We stayed in the National Park for three nights on the southern side. It is dry camping and they only offer a few sites that will accomodate larger rigs. There are a couple of commercial campgrounds outside the park in the city of Medora.

Hope I've helped?! It is a beautiful part of the country with lots of history.
