Bismarck KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

About a mile off I-94, Bismarck KOA sits close enough to the interstate to make it a practical overnight stop but far enough that road noise isn't a dominant feature. The campground accepts reservations year-round, accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and has a dump station on site. A fenced dog park, playground, and seasonal pool round out the facilities. Sites are gravel-surfaced and mostly pull-through, which simplifies arrival for larger rigs.

Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews, and it's one of the more consistent observations visitors make. Veronica S. describes the bathhouse as "nice and updated and clean," and multiple reviewers note the restrooms are well-lit and the showers run hot. The office doubles as a camp store where firewood is available, and staff have been noted for being helpful, including assisting with propane fills and guiding rigs to their sites.

Mature trees are distributed across the property, which provides shade on warmer days but can affect satellite reception depending on which site you're assigned. Campers using Starlink should request a site with a clear northern sky view. Verizon users have reported four bars of coverage. The campground's WiFi is available but has received mixed feedback on speed, so plan accordingly if you need reliable connectivity for work.

Sites are close together, which is worth knowing if you're traveling during peak summer weekends when the campground tends to fill up. Tent sites are notably spacious relative to the RV sections. Nearby restaurants are accessible by car along the same main road as the campground. Campers using Bismarck as a base for exploring the region can browse campgrounds near Bismarck for additional options. Booking ahead is advisable for Saturday nights, particularly in summer.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, clean sites and consistently praised friendly staff and well-maintained facilities. Some noted highway noise concerns, though most found it suitable for overnight stops with good amenities.

The KOA quality you expect

Clean, accommodating, well-marked, family-friendly and plenty of amenities! Our only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough!

What you expect from a KOA

We needed a site for a night in the middle of a trip. This was it. Typical KOA. Clean, close to major roads. Easy to find. Easy to book online. Most of the sites are pull throughs in trees. It appeared that big rig spots were mostly back in. The bathrooms, which we utilize frequently since we are in a 15 foot Aliner, were well lit, clean, and the showers were hot!

Love KOAs

We only stayed here 1 night. But it was a great stay! Nice looking amenities, including a small dog park and playground! They do have a pool and a restroom building with toilets and showers. I checked out these briefly as I did not have a chance to swim and did not need the restroom facilities. Everything seemed clean and well maintained. The office has a store and you can get firewood there. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit.

One of the Nicer KOAs

This review is from an overnight versus destination point of view. However, this could easily be a destination park if you want to stay in the area and check out Bismarck. The campground (CG) is about a mile off I-94 and easy to find. Check-in was quick and easy, and we proceeded to pull through site 11 right past the check-in office, store, showers, and laundry facility. The gravel site was pretty level, with utilities placed mid-pad. As our next stop was dry camping, I asked for propane, which they gladly picked up our tanks, had them filled, and returned to our site. There’s no cable TV, but we did receive OTA channels, plus we had a good shot to the north sky for our Starlink. There are a lot of mature trees here, so that satellite could be iffy depending on the site. WiFi speed wasn’t very good, but we didn’t need to use it. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was good. They have a nice fenced dog area. This is one of the nicer KOAs we’ve stayed in, with a very nice tent area. We enjoyed our overnight stay.

Good!

Very reasonable price for our one nights stay. We arrived late and left early. Kids enjoyed the pool. Showers and bathrooms were fine. Very close together sites but served its purpose. The campground was packed since it was a Saturday and it was incredibly quiet at night. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Has all the things, but not a destiantion

All the standard KOA amenities, but next to the highway. It’s like a trick stop with a pool. Locking bathrooms at a paid campground was a big turnoff. Decent pool and dog park tho.

Good stopover location

Stopped here for the night on our way to Glacier NP. Easy pull-through off the freeway. The campsite was well arranged - the quick overnights were toward the front for easy access, but the campers staying for a longer time were tucked away in a wooded area.

Great Place!

We stayed here overnight on a long journey & were very impressed with the friendly and clean environment! Nice shrubbery and trees throughout, a pool during the summer season, dog park, and playground. Will definitely be staying here again.
