Theodore Roosevelt National Park
South Unit
Traveling with Rich & Julie
On Monday, August 7, Rich and I pulled into Oleo Acres RV Park in Belfield, North Dakota. This is a simple but wonderful campground with full hookups, but no other amenities at the moment for a reasonable price. It is located on Highway 85 between the south unit and the north unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The national park is separated into two main sections by the Little Missouri National Grassland area. Some of the other campers told us they had seen wild turkeys in the campground. We did not for the few days we were there.
On Tuesday, August 8, we drove south to I-94, headed west and stopped first at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center and Rest Area. The canyon is gorgeous from this view.
There is a 0.2-mile loop trail to see the stunning vistas along the rim of the Painted Canyon, and also a 1-mile loop to explore further the interesting geology of the badlands from top to bottom and back…
