"This is a year round multi-use state park along the forest-lined Sheyenne River and near the Sheyenne National Grasslands."
"Stayed at a site in the open field near to the road. (last site available) only down side was that you got to feel the ND winds (10-30mph+) all the time..... "
$20 - $40 / night
"Nice campground just off the highway. Although the tent sites looked nice, unless you have earplugs the highway noise will keep you awake. It's also pretty windy."
"It was right off the highway, but the noise wasn't too bad. It is down a dirt road about a mile long, but that wasn't a problem."
"Book early as it is a popular area. Full bathroom with showers. Hosts keep it clean but unfortunately some people are pigs."
"It is not technically “lakeside” but about a half mile walk across the highway to get to the lake. It is well kept. Playground was nice and our kiddos loved it. Would stay here again!"
GuideNice campground just off the highway. Although the tent sites looked nice, unless you have earplugs the highway noise will keep you awake. It's also pretty windy. Clean bathrooms and showers, really nice staff. We booked one of two rustic cabins for a steal at $35. Other than a very thin foam mattress, we had a great stay. There was a mini fridge in the cabin and the wonderful lady that checked us in loaned us a fan since it was a bit warm. Jamestown speedway dirt track has races every Saturday evening during the summer and we were able to catch the season opener in May. The world's largest buffalo is also nearby
TravelerWe spent 43 days here last summer. Well kept campground. Hosts are the nicest people you will meet and extremely helpful. You will have to change sites every 14 days if you are going to be staying a long time. Book early as it is a popular area. Full bathroom with showers. Hosts keep it clean but unfortunately some people are pigs.
GuideThis was a really nice campground. It was right off the highway, but the noise wasn't too bad. It is down a dirt road about a mile long, but that wasn't a problem. Our site was easy to get into and there was a bit of space in between the sites. The sites are positioned such that your door opens to your neighbor's door, but this is better than having your picnic table next to your neighbor's sewer hose. They had a big grass field for walking dogs, which was great. Wifi was really fast. Owners were super nice. I'd definitely stay here again if in the area.
ScoutSo beautiful, open and wonderful camping sites with shade, tables, fire pits and sunset views. I came in the peak of the Summer on a saturday and had plenty of space and privacy. I was so happy to be here.
ScoutWe stayed at one of the tent campsites and stayed in the recommended spot by the staff. There was a fire ring for us, but we couldn’t use our own wood to prevent the spread of bugs or mold. They gave us free firewood and even brought it right up to our camp site for us. Amenities included clean bathrooms/showers, walking trails, playground. Staff/owners super friendly and helpful. Only downfall is the location is right next to the highway and a little noisy, but nothing we couldn’t sleep through. We would stay here again.
LegendThis is a year round multi-use state park along the forest-lined Sheyenne River and near the Sheyenne National Grasslands. There are miles of trails through all kinds of habititats from forest to prairie to riparian shores and the water trail. In winter there is great cross country skiing and snowshoeing and summer of course has camping, canoeing, hiking, and nature watching. This seems to be a big park for horse campers and they are well set up for that with corrals and designated horse campgrounds. There is a standard campground for car camping, campers and RVs with the usual amenities, then there is the so-called "primitive" campground which is for tents only, either in drive in tent campsites, or at walk-in tent sites that are very spacious and right on the river! Very nice. The "primitive" tent area has quiet rules including no use of generators, so we like that. The tent area did not have its own water source though, so you do have to walk across the river bridge to the main campground to get water. Also, while there were no problems about flooding on our trip, the sites are in a lowland area adjacent to the river floodplain so could be a concern at times of heavy rain. Other options, should you want to go for historic lodging or "glamping", there is the option to reserve a covered wagon or pioneer cabin to stay in, or a fully equipped really amazingly cool yurt with a loft that could host a large family or group. If you like hiking or canoeing or horseback riding or nature exploring, there are alot of good options here for the summer camper. Things are quieter right now as there as fewer campers due to covid, they are also a little short staffed and the grounds look a tad bit rough around the edges and in need of a bit of maintanence. Also, the park was established on the grounds on an old fort which seems to have had some historic controversy, and the main park entrance sign was burned in a recent protest event so be aware of that when you are trying to find the park. And, while staying at the park, visit the exhibits in the visitor's center to learn more about the history of the area and the old fort so you can put all this into respectful context.
RangerBeautiful, very well maintained, very dog friendly family owned rv park. So many personal touches, beyond friendly service, level site, great wiFi, playground, pavilion, small store, 25 acres close to town. And the topper a tunnel of lilac along with walking trails around the whole property!
GuideStayed here for an overnight on a weekday. Conveniently close to highway but for anyone who is sensitive to night noise, difficult to sleep. Several rigs came in way after 10pm. Owners very kind and helpful, WiFi great, clean bathrooms and showers. Nice walk around the well kept grounds. Decent playground if you’re traveling with kids.
ScoutVery well run campground. Friendly and responsive owners. Lots of trees help to beat the heat. Clean bathrooms & showers, laundry facilities, and good internet. Grounds are well kept. Easy access from freeway. Sites are a little too close but encourages getting to know your neighbors! The mile long frontage road is a washboard right now.
