    Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground

    Really Nice

    This is our first visit here, North Dakota does a great job with their state parks campgrounds. Our 3rd SP visited on this trip ( Lake Metigoshe & Sully Creek were the others).

    Huge, well spaced campsites. Pretty much in immaculate condition. The park was busy, hardly any vacant spots but still very quiet. Plenty of folks had their boats, & plenty of room to park them. Very scenic area.

    We've been to plenty of state parks across the USA. Looks like North Dakota might have the best ones.

    Lake Sakakawea State Park Campground

    Gorgeous , peaceful little slice of the Dakota’s

    This is my favorite campground in North Dakota ! Always clean and neat. The waters are beautiful. National fish hatchery nearby, along with the Garrison dam. Breath taking views from the Elbowwoods loop!

    Heart Butte Reservoir (Lake Tschida)

    Busy boat launch but friendly and respectful campers

    Five primitive campgrounds with wells and vault toilets. The two stars are for how this place is taken care of. Not well kept.

    Decent fishing for North Dakota. Try your hand at catching crappie, walleye, catfish, perch, white bass, pike, bluegill, large and smallmouth bass. Bait store nearby!

    Sweet Briar Lake

    Uh-amazing

    Like others before me said - how is this free!? We’re traveling thru North Dakota to Montana & just needed a place to rest overnight. The very few campgrounds around were all full & it was looking like we were staying at Walmart. But thanks to this nifty app, we were introduced to this very nifty spot! It’s right off the 94. Is there a little highway noise, yes. Did it bother us? Nope. We were in a huge spot right on a lake ! The view was so peaceful & it was otherwise super quiet. In fact , there are several spots all around the lake & hardly anyone at all. This place is actually better than some campgrounds we’ve paid too much for . No hook ups , of course , but that’s what a generator is for ! So glad places like this exist.

    Washburn City Park

    Good campground

    Small city park at edge of town. There's a bicycle path to the Lewis and Clark center and the town diner and museum are close enough to walk to. There is a train but I've only heard it once. Neighbor dog barks a lot. Still not bad for $25 per night with FHU.

    Cross Ranch State Park Campground

    Outstanding and amazing

    This place has it all! Beautiful, well-groomed, shaded hiking paths everywhere. Playgrounds. Big fields. Clean water access to the river for swimming, dogs, fishing. Good sized sights, well sheltered by trees. Outhouses near all sights. Well kept showers. Helpful park services. Our fave place so far!

    Cross Ranch State Park Campground

    SO MUCH HISTORY

    Cross Ranch State Park, ND

    This campground was CROWDED. Every spot was full. That being said it was not loud, just a low mumble :) of fellow campers. The spots, well they were close but situated in a way that you weren’t sitting staring at your neighbor. There were trees and foliage between the rows so it was comfortable. The showers were in the front office so like a half mile walk from my site. They were clean and well maintained. The trails were close by though. 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. I didn’t but I imagine fishing was good and of course water travel. The staff was friendly and Informative. Good campground to visit.

    Glen Ullin Memorial Park

    Nice and Clean, but also “planes, trains, and automobiles”

    Very clean, with water and facilities. Separate RV and tent areas. Very inexpensive. Tent area nice and flat and grassy- perfect.

    Only downside is the proximity to a small airport with a 24hr rotating beacon, rail line across the street, and road intersection with rumble strips. All quieted down after 10 pm or so, so still has a good nights sleep. Position your tent carefully to place trees between you and the airport beacon, and you’ll be happier.

    Still, very nice municipal campground.
