Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Forbes, ND

28 Reviews

Whitestone Hill Historic Site provides a pet-friendly camping area with basic facilities across from the historic battlefield. Dogs must remain leashed while on park grounds and near the memorial site. The campground features picnic tables and toilets but lacks drinking water and other amenities. Campers appreciate the quiet environment for overnight stays with their pets, making it suitable for a peaceful retreat. Fishing opportunities exist in the adjacent small lake, which pets can enjoy alongside their owners while maintaining appropriate distance from wildlife.

Lamoure County Memorial Park welcomes pets in both its seasonal and overnight camping areas on a first-come, first-served basis. Each campsite includes electric and water hookups, with clean shower facilities available for campers. The park requires dogs to be kept on leashes no longer than six feet and prohibits leaving pets unattended at campsites. Located near multiple museums and a golf course, the area offers scenic walks for pets and owners. The park's grounds are well-maintained with mowed grass areas ideal for exercising dogs. While the nearby James River doesn't offer direct water access for pets, the park's shaded environment provides comfortable camping conditions even during warmer months.

    Wylie Park Campground & Storybook Land

    Quiet midweek, lots of kids on weekends

    The main campground itself at Wylie Park is rather attractive with mature trees and reasonable site spacing (there's a secondary North Campground that's newer with less mature vegetation). Pricing is a little high at $36+/night for FHU, but the reason folks come here is for the park's other amenities including Storybook Land, Wylie Lake, go-carts, bumper boats, mini-golf, etc. This place is a kids' paradise.

    Which leads to the situation on weekends: this place is positively overrun with kids. Kids crying, kids riding their bikes through your campsite (and ill-informed adults, too). The geese in the waterfowl pond adjacent to the campground made quite the racket, too, but that didn't bother us. The kids did. Fine if that's your thing, but to a couple of 50-somethings without kids anymore, this was annoying.

    Midweek, though, the place was terrific, maybe 50% occupied. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Lakeside City Park - Eureka

    Nice overnighter.

    This campground has 18 sites. 1 - 13 are 30 - 20 amp service. Sites 14 - 18 are 50 - 30 -20 amp service. Located centrally in the park is a tornado shelter, kind of a nice touch. There are 4 fire pits to share between 18 sites. There is no sewer at locations. No water at locations, but they do have a hydrant located near the garbage dumpster. Bathrooms are OK clean. Showers are free. Campground is located next to high school athletic fields, so was very busy on Friday night. There is a beautiful Veterans Memorial across the street that was nice to walk through. Also across the street is a boat ramp and parking for a nice little lake. Grounds were mowed nicely and fairly clean of litter.

    Doyle Memorial Park Campground

    Tiny campground but great view of the lake

    I'm in spot number one and I'm pretty much 360 surrounded by water it's very pretty. Nice breeze which should keep the bugs down and a small walk around with different fishing docks and swimming area. Bathrooms were older but clean and provide a shower and we're open and water and everything was turned on.

    Lake Hoskins RV Park & Campground

    Cute park for locals or someone passing through for a night

    We don't have time to stay but we definitely wanted to stop and see it. The park is small it has a couple of boat ramps some fishing docks playground toilets which were closed water which was off and looks like several people probably camp here long-term probably for a special rate. It's cute lots of trees the dam is within walking distance I'll put up some pictures if you needed a place to stay for the night I totally stay here.

    Groton City Park

    5 sites that are good for an overnight.

    This is a small 5 site in town campground. It is connected to a large city park. Each site has 50 - 20 amp service. Each site has water and sewer. Picnic tables are available. No fire pits. Garbage dumpster next to campgrounds. Old and new trees on site. Bathrooms have a great deal to be desired. They are dirty and smell horribly. I've used pit toilets that are cleaner and fresher smelling. Night light next to bathrooms keeps area lit up at night. You need to back into sites from the street. Big rigs can get into 4 of 5 sites without interference from over hanging tree branches. Sites are paved, but they are old and starting to break up. It is located in a nice area.

    Melgaard Park

    Sites are on top of each other, literally.

    Beautifully shaded campground. A very large park to walk in. Sites are small, and each site has 2 campers, so your camper rear is nearly touching the next person's rear of their camper. Bathrooms are clean. No showers. Sites have 50-30-20 amp service. Honestly, this is NOT big rig friendly. The dump station is available. The water station is available across (the campground) from the dump station. Very busy road on west boarder. No fire pits. Tight maneuvering around the park. City maintenance building is here, so there is always lots of traffic. Picnic tables at each site.

    Mina Lake Recreation Area

    2020 post Covid Lockdown

    Some nice spots, some are to close to each other. Nice hiking trail. Kids love the beach.

    Whitestone Hill Historic Site

    This is a campground you can stay at across from the battlefield

    There are no services here there's a bathroom a couple of picnic tables but it's a big wide open space that I'm sure you can park anywhere you want. The attraction of course is the Whitestone battlefield across the small lake from here which is walkable distance and has a memorial to what happened on that site.
