This location is about as privative as you can get. You will be parked on a scoria(red clay) road in a 10 acre pasture. PRIM-A-TIVE! The good news is only 2 miles off of I-94. This location is 11 miles from Dickinson to the East and 11 miles from Belfield to the West, and 2 miles from South Heart to the South. The world famous city of Medora is 30 miles West on I-94. Medora is host to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. If you're in Medora don't miss the Medora Musical. Back to the property. It is a rural setting. No traffic, no people, just you and the North Dakota wildlife. At night, the sky is magnificent and bright. It is peaceful and quiet.

My wife and I are empty nester that like to roam a bit. We live in North Dakota close to our two Granddaughters. We have been RVing/camping since we got married 37 years ago. Instead of us and the kids in a tent so many years ago, it is now us and the dogs in our motorhome. We hope to soon be able to take the grandchildren with us when they get alittle older.

We sre so grateful for our stay in South Heart. So windy! Still, our host Bob ventured out from town to guide us in (and correct our over-shot). Very hospitable, many thanks.

Great communication and quick follow up. 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Host & Property! Host met me at the property. The property is secure and beautiful. The roads are well taken care of. The views are beautiful and the sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking! It would be an awesome experience to see the Northeast Lights out here. Neighbors are in view but far enough for privacy. It’s just you and the North Dakota private lands! Very dark and peaceful! Had a great visit with the host sharing stories and their dreams of the future home to be built here. Host shared some great tips and travel information. Such a generous host to provide a safe and peaceful place to stay. I will be back again sometime when I am out this way! There is a lot of interesting attractions up this way. Next time I hope to travel the Enchanted Highway. There’s a donation box as you exit! Happy to leave a donation for an awesome primitive safe stay!!! Thank you! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. I feel rested and I’m very grateful. Lindy and Marley IG: @tinyvanbiglife

Very communicative and attentive family in making sure you find the place and get situated! Friendly people. Beautiful land. Lots of space to run around. They have a donation box at the entrance, which we used since we got in later than expected. They were understanding!
