Harmon Lake Rec Area
Harmon Lake Rec Area, near Mandan, North Dakota, is a solid spot for those looking to enjoy some outdoor fun without straying too far from town. With a sandy beach and swimming area, it’s a great place to cool off and let the kids play on the playground.
The campground offers electric hookups and a few primitive sites, making it suitable for both RVs and tents. Fishing is a big draw here, with two fishing piers and a floating dock where you can try your luck at catching northern pike, bass, and more. As one visitor put it, “The swimming beach was awesome - sand & great water & view.”
While the sites can feel a bit close together, many appreciate the green space available for relaxing. You’ll find picnic shelters for family gatherings and vault toilets for convenience. If you’re into kayaking or canoeing, rentals are available, adding to the recreational options.
