"This is a small quiet state park in northeast North Dakota that offers a nature preserve with rare plants and birds in a cool bur oak-basswood stand with spring fed fens around it."
"Nice hiking trails at the park and nearby at the Pembina Gorge. The bike trail into Cavalier has been repaved as well as over to the golf course."
"This is a jewel of a city campground located along the Pembina River and adjacent to the Pembina Gorge State Recreation area."
"I agree with the other review there's lots and lots of things to do very close and it's centrally located to a state forest and the pembina gorge which will soon be a state park and a campground on its"
"Really nice beach really nice access and fishing down below there's a two and a half mile pave trail in to Park River that you could walk or bike which I thought looked quite nice."
"All this comes with beautiful views that over look the reservoir and best of all open year around. For the cold weather campers the shower floors are heated!"
"Nice that it's a quick walk to playground, trails (and the pumpkin patch/corn maze in the fall!)
FHU, but very tight sites. Clean campground, nice people running it."
"Camped at Lake Bronson the first weekend of June at site 47 beside the lake. "
"Stayed on the lake side of the park. Very many campsites. Stayed in site 8, which had an electric option. Was tucked in the corner so the wind out of the west wasn’t much of an issue."

ScoutGood: green, lots of trees, big dog park, adjacent city park and trail, cute town. Bad: hook-ups are awful—they are behind your RV spot, shared with the RV behind you; shared power pedestals so only one gets 50amp, whoever gets there first; the 20amp breaker was useless; sewer connections are 90° angle and 1/2” off ground so almost impossible to use sewer elbow and they have sewer flies; water is a pex tube coming out of the ground, shared, and had a unremovable fitting that did not allow me to connect my pressure regulator. Some sites have utilities on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE side of standard RV connections requiring two additional sewer hoses and extra power cord. Ridiculous.
GuideOf everywhere I have been this is by far the cleanest, most comfortable campground my wife and I have been too. We will definitely be back.
TravelerIf you're like me and hate camping 10 feet from a million campers in a crowded campground, then this island site is for YOU! The campsite itself is a double occupancy. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and had plenty of space for two big tents and all our stuff. The canoeing is a quick 15 minute paddle from the lakeside campground on the far east side of the lake. (I wanna respect everyone's ability to paddle a canoe, but this is a level 1/easy peazy/if my 9 year old can do it then so can you kind of paddle.)
The island is filled with tons of old oak trees and has plenty of space to string up a hammock or two in the shade. The tent pads aren't the most level, but they aren't the worst I've pitched on either. The dock is nice and low so getting in and out with your gear is a breeze. We camped over the 4th of July and even with the busy holiday boat traffic still felt pretty secluded, especially at night. The vaulted toilet was nice to have on the island too. We had to canoe in our water in portable jugs, but that's how we usually camp.
It would have been nice to have a food locker of some sort in the campsite as both nights we stayed we had a big old fat raccoon in the campsite trying to get into our food. We ended up putting our totes with all the food/garbage wedged under the bench of the picnic tables in order to keep them out. Still didn't stop them from dragging a cooler of ours into the woods one night. (Darn trash pandas.)
The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because the area around the island is all weeds and muck. You'll have to paddle west into the big part of the lake (10 minutes) and dock your canoe next to the swimming beach if you want a muck and weed-free swimming experience.
LegendA handful of camp spots in a row and what looked to be a reasonable bathroom. For campers it was full service water sewer and electric. Need to contact the staff or the campground host to rent a spot look like the place was pretty empty when I was here. Really nice beach really nice access and fishing down below there's a two and a half mile pave trail in to Park River that you could walk or bike which I thought looked quite nice. Otherwise though that's the extent of the activities if you're not a Fisher person.
LegendI saw this from the freeway and thought I would stop and look. It's a sizable campground for people who work on the sugar beet in the fall but available the rest of the year. They're all full hookups you need to call the phone number to get a spot but it's well shaded and very few permanent campers here right now.
LegendPleasantly surprised the park is cute. It has lots of trees it has water and electric hookups in a lot of the spots. There is only one camper here when I pulled in and they look like they're permanent camper. There's a sugar plant just down the road which I wonder if you'll have those smells depending on which way the wind is blowing. Otherwise not sure why you would stop here except if traveling through.
LegendAgreed with the other reviewers Small full hookups in the sun and close to town. If your boat or a fisher it's well set up to do that. Also has a frisbee golf course and is right on the street when you walk across the bridge. I stayed one night while traveling through quiet and safe.
LegendOne of the other reviews is very comprehensive to the activities so I'm not going to try to repeat that. The park is nice has lots of trees. There are two camping areas and a tent area each camping area has hookups. Both areas are very much in the sun so during high summer might be uncomfortably warm during the day. I agree with the other review there's lots and lots of things to do very close and it's centrally located to a state forest and the pembina gorge which will soon be a state park and a campground on its own but for today if you want to see it this is the closest place to be.
