Fort Daer

Small camp area near the Red river with good fishing. Small town of Pembina, ND within 2 minutes for supplies. Quiet and safe.

Like many small town community campgrounds, this has the basics and is adequate. The campground itself would not be a destination vacation spot, but is a decent place to stay if you have come to Pembina for some fishing on the Red River or to visit someone in town or to attend an area event. It could also be your end point if you are paddling the Red River Water Trail downstream from the town of Oslo: https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/canoe\_routes/red\_river\_3.pdf

They are 12 RV sites with electric, water, dump station, and shower. There is usually a  boat dock and ramp, but it looks like it is currently pulled up on land and may have sustained some flood damage or something. There is a  fish-cleaning station, some shady tent sites, a picnic shelter, a playground, a hike you can do on the river dike, and an easy walk into town for a few cafes and conveniences. The one really nice attraction is the Pembina Historical Society museum a few blocks away, with a great overview of the cultural and natural history of the area, which will help you better understand why there is an old historic log cabin at the campground, and why that spot at the confluence of the Pembina River and the Red has been settled for centuries. If that interests you, you might want to start here and head west into the Rendezvous Trail (see scenic byway: https://www.ndtourism.com/articles/rendezvous-region-scenic-backway) towards the Pembina Gorge area https://rendezvousregion.com/
