    Sakakawea Park

    Beautiful campground near Knife River Historic Site

    We visited the Knife River Historic Site and had planned to drive the 25 miles north to the COE campground. We stopped here on a whim to check it out. It is in a very nice setting. The sites are huge and the bathrooms are clean and nice. The dump station is actually in town near the bank. Very quiet and can’t be beat for $20 water and electric.

    Sweet Briar Lake Campsites

    Quiet, pleasant and convenient

    This was a nice surprise right off 94! There are a bunch of sites, not super great signage so I wasn't sure I was in the right place at first, but just follow the map. It was dark so I just drove down a few roads before I found a whole unoccupied area with a picnic table, fire pit, lovely shade and totally quiet and dark (a bit of freeway noise from 94 not far away was all). Safe for the dog to run around, nice paths to go for my own run in the morning. This is a gem if you're looking for a sweet place to stop on a road trip in this area.

    Nelson Lake

    free camping along lake

    Take the road past the boat ramp and you will come across several grassy areas with a garbage can and sometimes a fire ring.

    Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground

    Excellent lake

    Clean lake with no smells and large campsites. Pick a site with a view of the lake and the breeze is wonderful.

    Eagles Park Campground

    Great spot just north of Bismarck

    This is an interesting tiny campground run by the city of Bismarck. In a a Friday in July, we are one of four campers here. There a few 50 amp sites and several posts with 20 amp. Some 20amp are next to a traditional back in site. Others are in a grassy field and can be shared. That is what we chose. The 20 amp runs what we need. None of the sores have water or sewer and there is no dump station. However, there is a spigot with water. We filled our fresh tank before arriving. There are picnic tables and fire rings scattered throughout. It seems you could park out pitch a tent any where. There are 2 well maintained portolets and a dumpster. The location is right on the Missouri River and close to a state historic site. We originally booked 2 nights then decided to stay longer. For $12 per night, what is not to love!!

    Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground

    Beautiful park

    Lots of sites to choose from. Not too close together. Reasonable price. Only downside is the park is open early but no water, flush toilets or showers until May 15! There a few vault toilets so pick your site accordingly.
