5. Fort Ransom State Park Campground
Fort Ransom, North Dakota9 Reviews•27 Photos•33 SavesNestled in the Sheyenne River Valley, about 65 miles southeast of Jamestown, Fort Ransom State Park is a 950-acre recreation area amid rolling grasslands and mixed woods. Once the site of an 1860s military encampment, the location now offers year-round outdoor recreation, from hiking, fishing, and paddling, to bird watching, horseback riding and camping. In summer, the park rents canoes and provides shuttles to the launch point, for spending leisurely days paddling down the river. In winter, its a popular destination for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The park’s most noted event is the annual Sodbuster Days, which celebrates the farming and homesteading days of the late 1800s with arts, music, food and a rodeo.
The campground at Fort Ransom State Park offers 80 RV, tent and equestrian campsites near the banks of the Sheyenne River. Modern RV sites, with electric and water hookups, are mostly pull-through, while primitive tent sites are mostly walk-in. A few group sites, both modern and primitive, are located near the outdoor amphitheater. The main camp area features flush toilets, showers, a playground, and a dump station. A canoe launch and fishing pier are located nearby. The primitive tent sites and equestrian camp area only offers vault toilets; the latter also has horse corrals. Other amenities include a visitor center, picnic shelters, and a dog park. Campsites are $17–$25/night.

8. Mel Rieman Rec
Valley City, North Dakota5 Reviews•15 Photos•18 SavesOverview
The Mel Rieman Campground and Recreation Area is a 70-acre facility on the shoreline of Lake Ashtabula in eastern North Dakota. The campground is known for its spectacular sunset views. It is close to the Baldhill Dam and within walking distance of the Mel Rieman day-use area, where visitors can swim, fish and picnic. Lake Ashtabula was created by the construction of the Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River in 1944, and is situated in one of the most scenic river valleys in the region. Visitors can choose from a wide range of recreation opportunities year-round, including ice fishing and cross-country skiing during winter months.
Recreation
There is no shortage of recreation opportunities and outdoor fun in and around the lake. The day-use area is adjacent to the campground and has a visitor center, playgrounds, picnic facilities, concessions, fishing spots and a boat ramp. The name "Ashtabula" is a Native American word meaning "Fish River," which suits the lake's fish population; popular species include walleye, northern pike, white bass, yellow perch and black bullhead. With seven boat ramps, two accessible fishing piers and four automated fish cleaning stations, the lake is very convenient for anglers. Nearly 3,000 acres of land around the lake is managed as wildlife habitat by the Corps of Engineers and open to the public for wildlife viewing, birding, hiking and hunting. Hunters and anglers should contact the North Dakota Game and Fish Department for seasons, restrictions and licenses; fishing licenses and bait may be purchased from concessionaires around the lake. Campers can also reach the 63-mile Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway and access nearly 35 miles of the North Country National Scenic Trail within a short drive.
Natural Features
The lake area lies amidst the 'prairie potholes' region of glacially-carved lakes in North Dakota. Bountiful migratory water birds flock to Lake Ashtabula, including the unique white pelican, which can be seen in large quantities during summer. The region also provides habitat for white-tailed deer, sharptail grouse, wild turkey and gray partridge.

Moon Lake
Pretty spot. Very quiet.
A long, very dusty gravel road got us to this spot. By the time we left, our car and camper looked like 2 dirt piles. That said, the spot was very peaceful with a ton of birds. There is a pit toilet there which was locked. It had a sign telling you how to break in, in the case of emergencies. Never have seen such a sign before. Well, I needed to use it, broke in using a screwdriver, and Ohmygod. It’s going to take awhile to get that out of my head. Do not open up the pit toilet, no matter the emergency.

Faust Park
Friendly spot to chill for a night
A good spot on the river sort of way out in farm country, a good amount of campers on Fri labor day weekend. Im sure any other day it would be empty. Quiet at night, light on bugs, great grass for tents. No water and didnt see a toilet. Prob not good for bigger RVs. Grab a sweet fresh yummy apple from the tree. Only gave it two stars because some of the hillbillies may be a bit creepy.

Silver Lake Rec Area
Mostly perm campers
But they are very nice and friendly and I ended up with the best spot ever as it is right on the water and under the only few trees available. There is actually 3 campgrounds and they surround the lake. Some of the nicest tent spots I've seen. Small Frisbee golf course and not much formal hiking but you can boat on this lake and lots of fishing from the shore. Poor cell service but lots of open sky and the sat service is killing it today.

Milnor City Park
Small but functional
We might be back to this campground, assuming we don't have cell service where we're going. Calling a campground is a stretch. It's a few parking spots near a small park right inside the town. They're cute. They're nice summer in the shade. And I think milner's a pretty town.

Sandager Park
Very nice park
Stayed for a few days and thought it was nice. There are two sections and one offers full services and the other just electric service but better shade. The park is well used by the community as there were softball games nightly and the pool was full.

Red Trail Vineyard RV Park
Potential to be very good
We stopped here briefly in a cross country trip, so we got in late and left in the morning. This looks like a new site, made in a flat field near the vineyard. It is basically an open flat field with power/water hook ups in the middle and 14 gravel spots on either side. There are a few young trees planted, but no shade. No picnic tables, no restrooms, all pretty bare bones. There is one shared fire pit for the entire camp near the dumpster. The grass was freshly cut and there was no litter. The grapes growing next to us was a nice view to wake up to.
The one dumpster was very full, and no camp host or personelle to ask questions to. We reserved online about an hour before we arrived at 1am, and online said there were three other campers out of the 14 sites. Yet when we arrived, there were 4 additional campers there, luckily not in the spot we reserved. Heads up: There is a seven dollar tax/fee added on to our bill we didn’t know about until after we checked out. Don’t forget bug repellent. In as many forms as you can wear.
I think once the trees grow in a bit, and if they get picnic tables for each site, it would be much more user friendly.

Buffalo RV Park
Great little overnight park
Clean, easy booking online, full hookups and less than 10 minutes from 94. 8 sites total. Stayed at site 1 for $25. Great big fire pit but street light is right next to the site and bugs were biting. Overall quiet, safe location in historic town. Next time would like to check out Old 10 Saloon.

James River Bay Area Camping
Simple, low key, primitive
Good campsite, located in a huge field set pretty far off the river. It says there's room for 10 tents but really you could host a festival there. There's a couple picnic tables and fire pits and one trash can. There is no bathroom next to the tent sites. There is a pit toilet close by. When you reach the "Camp Rules" sign turn right for the camping and left for the pit toilet.

Nice city park.
Parked in a shaded spot. Very quiet and well kept. Used Roverpass.com to reserve the spot. Very pleased

Lake Lamoure Campground
Regular Lakeside camping
The campground is pretty but exposed would be hot in the summer. Has hookups water and sewer and there's a dump station around the corner. There's a beach boat dock fishing dock and a boat launch right here in this campground. Pit toilets no showers no other amenities. Beautiful view of the lake though and protected by the trees so it's a wildly windy day but not too bad we were camped.
- Teresa T.Legend
Weaver Park-Edgeley Campground
Place to stop
Looks like they have about 15 sites You're essentially parked in the Sun. With hookups and a patch of grass but otherwise no shade and no activities so it must be for people who come to do sports or something else in town during the summer.
- Teresa T.Legend
Brewer Lake Rec Area
Very nice county campground
This is a well maintained well cared for well laid out county campground. A number of sites kind of exposed to the sun but hookups and bathrooms available. Tiny Lake for fishing and a beach for swimming. And good for North Dakota there's a large tree claim th at helps keep the wind off of you. I barely have Verizon service so if I was going to try to work I would probably have to use my satellite system but other than that it's adorable I wish it had more hiking.

Prairie Haven Campground
Found it
This is an actual campground right next to the freeway right where the directions say that it is. Ignore the GPS or hopefully they'll correct the GPS. I did not stay here but I travel through often so I was curious to see if I could understand what and where it was. There seems to be hookups I have a feeling there is a building that has bathrooms in it and seems like they used to sell gas I'm not sure how much of that is still available.
- Teresa T.Legend
Prairie Haven Campground
I'm not sure this is a camping area
I'm not exactly sure I'm in the right place nor am I sure that this is actually a campground of some kind. It's definitely a fishing access it's a big open spot next to Island Lake which is a legit lake in North Dakota. It's very flat but there's equipment parked here and a sign that says this is fishing access so I think if you tried to camp here you'd end up with somebody knocking on your door. Last the GPS spot is not correct that takes you to a corner of a road and this spot does not match the directions so I'm going to go one more mile up and see if the directions actually take me to a campground and I'll post that as well.

Beautiful site, with good amenities
Stopped here on our way through North Dakota, perfect site with flushable bathrooms, good water and a beautiful sunrise.

Dead Colt Creek Rec Area
It is a very pretty campground
The lake is very pretty. The swimming area is very nice. They have full bathrooms with showers. A number of different camp sites to be at. Campsites are a little close but I think they're trying to save nicer spots for tents.

Jamestown Campground
Great Park with friendly staff
We 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.
- Teresa T.Legend
Barnes County Park Clausen Springs Recreation Area
Really great with something for everyone
Hiking trails and places for kids to play on playground equipment and access to the lake with very nice docks and the North country trail goes through. One can hike or bike long if you want. Last, there is lots of shade so you can can't privately in the shade or in a very public campground either way.

TravelerJamestown Campground
Nice stop
This is nice spot good price flat spots has a playground lots of grass they have sports equipment you can barrow the dirt road can be pretty dusty but not bad if you go slow
Jacob G.TravelerFaust Park
Solid, quick stop
We were the only campers, so there was plenty of space and the sound of the water was soothing.
Bugs were terrible and the train was loud once when we went to sleep and then once when we woke up.
Overall, the camp spot was a convenient and free stop on our road trip out west. Would stay again.

Moon Lake
Quiet with beautiful views!
The sites aren’t very well indicating and so we parked next to a fire ring and picnic table. A van pulled up in front of us with plenty of room left for other neighbors. A sign indicates that camping for more than 10days is not permitted and rigs aren’t to be left unattended for more than 24hours. Two docks for the pups to jump off of and swim. Beautiful clear water was calling my name in the evening.

Right off the ball fields, small but functional campsites with hooks ups.

Faust Park
Tiny space
We stopped by to visit but didn't camp. If you're a walker there's no trails and no place to walk. There is though a very nice canoe spot and it's clear people fish from here. The campsite is very small and only camping spaces for about three campers it was full the time we came through.
- Teresa T.Legend
Moon Lake
It is a very small spot and cute
Several spots to park but not at all very private. Nice view of the lake though and the trees block the wind and it was a very windy cool day so very appreciative of them. No shade though, just a wind break.

Fort Ransom State Park Campground
Amazing state park
It was very early in April and still very cold so I literally had the place to myself but we saw an incredible amount of wildlife in our one day stay. Also there are bunches of trails to hike and the town is close and worth exploring. I came back again in 2024 with a bit more time but still early so had the park to myself. There is so much to do here. They have expanded the trails, dinner in town at a great restaurant, mountain biking down the Kathryn road to historic sites and a national state forest with more trails and destinations. Come early, around the ticks and mosquitoes. Maybe I will bring the canoe next time.

Jorgen's Hollow Campground
Great campsite
Nice and relatively private spots with lots of hiking nearby. Definitely headed back again
Lee F.GuideJamestown Campground
Close to highway
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. 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
