Just one more added thought from me, re oil country camping.
As I previously said, spots are really crowded in eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Shoot, there were even adds posted by landowners that they would rent you out spots to park your RV.
So most all the commercial RV parks are just packed solid.
However, the Corps of Engineers campgrounds and the various ND State Parks may both have the 14 day rule going, and these may in fact have some openings.
But best to phone in advance.
I just popped in without reservations to the COE campground below Garrison Dam in North Dakota last summer. Had no problem at all finding a spot for the night.
Mind you, it did get very busy and filled up after I checked in.
So even in those busy areas previously mentioned, there are alternatives.
