Larimore Dam Recreation Area Campground Grand Forks County

With full hookups available from May through October, Larimore Dam Recreation Area Campground operates as a county-managed facility in Grand Forks County. The campground provides electric, water, and sewer connections along with restrooms, showers, and a dump station for RV campers. Reservations can be made in advance and pets are welcome on-site.

Most sites sit in open areas with limited shade, which one camper noted could become uncomfortably hot during North Dakota's humid summer months. The recreation area includes an arboretum and walking trails, plus access to a sandy swimming beach on the reservoir that visiting campers have praised. For shaded camping alternatives, Turtle River State Park Campground sits five miles east.

It is very cute

I can't imagine camping here. I'm here before the campground is open and there's a striking amount of annual campers here. Most of the campers sit in the sun which I think would be hot in the summer. The park is cute The arboretum is nice there's some nice walks but overall I can't imagine sitting in the sun during the summer in North Dakota with high humidity and finding that pleasant. I did stay in the campground at the state park that has lots of shade I would recommend somebody stay there but come here if they want to go to the beach which is quite nice.

Sitedid not stay. not open until May 1st

Great swim beach!!

We did not stay here camping, but drove over from Turtle River state park (no swim beach there). The beach was great - nice sand, grass area, & nice water!
