Campground fees are scheduled to increase October 1 at Theodore Roosevelt National Park/Kurt Repanshek file

Campground fees at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota are going up on October 1. The changes apply to the Cottonwood Campground, Cottonwood Group site, Juniper Campground, Juniper Group site, and Roundup Group Horse Camp campground.

The Cottonwood Campground and Juniper Campground new fee will be $20 from May 15 through September 30. Valid Senior Pass or Access Pass holders camp for half price at those sites. The Cottonwood Group and Juniper Group sites will be $60. October 1 through May 15 the Cottonwood and Juniper campgrounds are half price with individual sites at $10.

Roundup Group Horse Camp, South Unit equestrian site fee will be $70. Reservations for group sites can be requested online beginning March 1, 2025. Cottonwood and Juniper sites can be reserved from May 15 through September 30. Roundup Group Horse Camp can be reserved from May 15 through October 31. Roundup Group Horse Camp is closed November 1 through May 14. 

The last fee increases in camping rates occurred in 2015. After research of local campground rates in the surrounding area, the proposed rate increases were found to be comparable with current market rates for similar services.

Campgrounds are a popular destination for park visitors. Fees provide a vital source of revenue for needed facility maintenance, future campground improvement projects, and increased costs associated with campground operations. Past fee improvements include new comfort stations, improved accessible walkways in the campgrounds, and accessible trail work. Anticipated future fee revenue projects include rehabbing water and wastewater systems in the campgrounds, replacing sidewalks in visitor use areas, and restoring historic fencing at Peaceful Valley Ranch.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
