    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!!

    Beulah Bay Rec Area

    Well kept campgrounds

    This campground is nice for larger groups and has a lot of long-term campers. The campground does have cabins and they are well kept and clean. Lots of family activities like horseshoes, basketball court, frisbee golf, and volleyball. Kayak rentals are available as well!

    Bring water shoes if you plan on swimming in the lake as it is rocky.  All campsites include one picnic table and one fire pit.

    Harmon Lake Rec Area

    Okay camping

    The campground is close to town in case you need anything. The camping rigs/RV area gets pretty crowded, especially on weekends. It has a sand beach and swimming area. Playground for kids, along with picnic shelters. Vault toilets.

    The big draw here is probably the fishing. 2 fishing piers, 1 floating fishing dock. You can catch northern pike, largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and rainbow trout if you're lucky!

    Sakakawea Park

    Nice park close to knife river NHS

    There are 10 level RV sites with electric and water hook ups for $20 a night. There were concrete pads plenty long enough for our 5ver. $10 a night for primitive spots. Nice large grassy area with kid toys as well as a basketball court.

    This is within 2 miles of the Knife River National Historic Site and is a great jump off point

    Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground

    Clean, Quiet Facilities

    I've been camping at this campground since I was a kid, and it's always been wonderful. It has something for everyone. A boat marina, a swimming beach, tent-only sites, primitive grounds, water and electrical sites, hiking trails, playgrounds, clean shower facilities and flushing toilets! Not to mention the outstanding views of Lake Sakakawea!

    COE Lake Sakakawea Downstream Campground

    Nice spot for a rest on our drive across country.

    Nice spot. Had site 117 on loop 4. “Primitive” site. Mostly quiet and peaceful. Group of RVs had the end of the loop and had generators going, but steady wind blowing that way kept the noise down. Acceptable pit toilet. Lovely easy walk down a path to the river with sandy banks. Clean, well kept sites w picnic tables and fire rings. Very windy so definitely glad to be here protected below the dam and not up next to the reservoir!

    Sweet Briar Lake

    Beautiful and quiet

    Gorgeous lake/reservoir, fish were jumping all night. Drove in with our 34' bus and had no issue finding a nice level spot with a fire ring and picnic table. Good seperation between spots. Even though it's close to the highway which is handy there was very little traffic noise.

    Wilton City Park

    Decent stop

    8 back in gravel RV spots that aren't very level but not too bad. Electric hookups only. There is a water spigot at one end of the park and dump station at the cenex in town. Park is between elevator and rail tracks. Elevator started up early but only one train a day. Can't beat $11/night though. There's a good cafe in town too.

    Cross Ranch State Park Campground

    We love this state park!

    This park is our favorite go-to campground. All sites have electrical and the two dump stations are easy to pull into and use. There are many hiking trails here and they are kept mowed and in great condition.


Guide to Beulah

The Beulah area sits in west-central North Dakota at approximately 1,800 feet elevation where the Missouri River basin creates a diverse landscape of rolling hills and river valleys. Camping options near Beulah range from municipal RV facilities to state parks with lakefront access, with most sites experiencing significant seasonal temperature variations from below freezing winters to summer highs frequently above 85°F.

What to do

Fishing access: The Missouri River and Lake Sakakawea offer excellent fishing opportunities. At Cross Ranch State Park Campground, visitors enjoy river access just steps from campsites. "Beautiful views of Missouri River. We stayed in the TeePee this visit but plan on coming back for tent camping," notes one camper.

Hiking trails: Multiple maintained paths provide exploration options throughout the region. Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground features shoreline trails that connect with longer routes. "Great hike along the shoreline Trail, and also apparently north country Trail, and here that goes all the way across to Vermont," reports a visitor who appreciated the trail connections.

Water recreation: Boating, paddling, and swimming are popular activities, especially during summer months. "We rented a canoe and 2 kayaks and were transported to Washburn and floated/paddled our way to Sanger boat launch. (Approx 9 miles) It took us about 3 hours and it was so beautiful!" shares a family who visited Cross Ranch State Park.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds in the region offer larger-than-average camping spaces. At COE Lake Sakakawea Downstream Campground, campers appreciate the generous layout. "Sites a larger than most campgrounds we've been to. Grounds are well kept," notes a recent visitor.

Natural surroundings: Tree cover varies significantly between campgrounds, with some offering shaded sites and others more open. "When I go camping I love having trees and the water near and this spot has both! Has a walking path mowed down for walk and also has play grounds for the kids," shares someone who stayed at Cross Ranch State Park.

Clean facilities: Maintenance standards generally remain high at established campgrounds. "Hot clean showers, space between sites, hike trails, great power...shade," reports a visitor to COE Lake Sakakawea Downstream Campground.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Many facilities restrict water and restroom availability during shoulder seasons. At Fort Stevenson State Park Campground, full amenities operate primarily during summer. "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!" explains a camper.

Weather considerations: Strong winds frequently affect the area, particularly at elevated locations. "Arrived as a severe thunderstorm approached. Two days of windy during the day yet despite wind gusts going from 25-50 mph there was not a bug in site so you give and take," notes a visitor to the downstream campground.

Insect activity: Bugs can be problematic depending on season and location. "Only complaints were the long haul from the parking area, the vaulted toilets smelt very bad but could of been from the heat! And the bugs!!! Tons of flying ants and ticks everywhere, but we managed!" shares a Cross Ranch State Park visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds maintain play equipment for children. "We are a family of 4, 2 kids ages 11 and 13. We had a blast! We rented a canoe and 2 kayaks and were transported to Washburn and floated/paddled our way to Sanger boat launch," reports a family at Cross Ranch State Park.

Beach activities: Lake swimming areas provide good options for family recreation. At Ball Park RV Park, proximity to town amenities makes it convenient for families. "This is the campground for travelers coming through town. It is very nice and at the city park," notes a visitor.

Educational opportunities: Historical sites near campgrounds offer learning experiences. "A scenic walk along the River where Lewis and Clark traveled. Cool stuff. Up the road was a extremely interesting, National Historic Site we visited," shares someone who appreciated the educational aspects at Cross Ranch.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: RV parks Beulah, North Dakota and surrounding communities offer varied utility connections. At Center RV Park, full hookups are available but with few additional amenities. "This is really more of a man camp for permanent campers then a weekend camper spot. You have full hookups and no bathrooms or other services," explains a recent visitor.

Site configurations: Some RV accommodations near Beulah provide limited spacing between units. "There's probably 15 sites back to back right beside one another in the Sun. So no privacy it really is for people who are probably working and living out of their campers," notes a Center RV Park visitor.

Municipal options: Several town-operated RV parks offer basic accommodations at reasonable prices. "This is the campground for travelers coming through town. It is very nice and at the city park. It is close to the road so I'm assuming you get road noise," shares someone who stayed at Ball Park RV Park in Center.
