Hiking Highlight
Recommended by Sue
CCC Campground sits in the heart of North Dakota's Badlands, offering direct access to the Maah Daah Hey and Long X Trails. Campsites are spread across three loops, featuring picnic tables, fire rings, potable water (seasonal), and vault toilets, as well as equestrian facilities for riders. The surrounding buttes and nearby Little Missouri River create a dramatic and peaceful setting, making it a perfect overnight spot for hikers, bikers, and wildlife watchers.
**The campground offers both reservable and first-come, first-served sites. Out of the 25 campsites, six individual sites and three group sites can be reserved in advance through recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/10134015, while the rest are open to walk-ins. If you're aiming for a weekend stay or a visit during peak season, booking ahead is smart—but spontaneous campers still have a solid chance of snagging a spot.
