North Dakota Campground Help

Question

10 years ago on my way home from Yellowstone I stayed at a campground somewhere along I-94. I am almost certain it was in North Dakota. Across the street from the campground was a very busy railroad line. As a train fan it was great. I am doing the trip again this summer and am trying to remember the name and location of this campground but can't. Can anyone be of any help?

Medora city camp?  nice city camp in big cottonwood trees in a bend of the river, across business  loop hwy. from BNSF RR mainline.  Quiet yet close.   look at it on google maps.

That's not it. The campground was much closer to the road that divided it from the train tracks. I think it was a privately owned campground.

LOL - I just discovered my memory is really bad on this. I was looking at photos of the trip and based on the order of the pictures I took the campground had to be somewhere between the arch over I-80 and the Grand Tetons. So that puts it somewhere in western Nebraska or eastern Wyoming. My search continues.

Google maps shows rail lines. When looking at North Dakota, type in "campgrounds" in the search box, and it will show where they all are. Follow I-94 to see if you can find one near the RR line, too.
May not get all, but it will help you find most of the available camping areas.

10 years is a long time - it may be gone.

North Platte, Alliance, Ne. have the rail yards.  I suspect you were on us26 or ne. 2.  Scottsbluff,ne., ft. Laramie, Guernsey, wy.,  are worth a look
