    Pleasant escape

    Very nice campground. What appear to be lakeside sites are actually elevated above the water. Clean vault toilets and also shower house with running water. Lots of big rigs; I felt tiny in my truck tent. Some of the rigs left outdoor lights on all night, so was not a very dark sky location.

    Loved this place! ❤️

    We’d been staying in State parks the last few weeks, with deep toilets and showers that require quarters. Here we had flushable toilets, HOT showers with good pressure and free laundry! We also liked having the bar on site to grab snacks, drinks, food etc. Also there was cool stuff to see! There’s a one room schoolhouse exhibit across the road at the fairgrounds. White Butte (tallest point in North Dakota) is a great hike super close. You can also get to Medora for TRNP or Regent for the Enchanted Highway in about an hour. Very centrally located.

    Great Little Hideaway

    Fun little spot in the middle of the Great Plains of western North Dakota.

    Just off Highway 85 at Amidon, ND. Population 25!

    Great one nighter or a very quiet longer stay. Come prepared! No groceries except in small store in Bowman 21 miles away.

    No trains no trucks!

    We had a couple beers and a good pizza in Mo’s Bunker Bar just steps away from our trailer.

    Nine average to small size spaces with water, electric, and sewer! $35

    A younger couple bought this in 2006 and have done some hard work to renovate a basement into a bar . It is a sight to see and play darts or pool and have pizza or root beer floats!

    Nice clean bathrooms and private showers with wonderful hot water. Laundry was available.

    We just happened to show up on the first day of the Slope County 101 Annual Fair and rodeo. Got to mix with local people. Corn hole games, FFA auction, exhibits and games!

    There was a demonstration of a 100 year old steam power engine and a combine working as kids threw wheat shafts on the conveyor.

    White Butte, the high point of ND is very close! A mile or so hike to the top!

    Very friendly

    Tent camped here before going to hike Whites Butte. The bath/shower houses are very nice!! Mo's Bunker Bar is right on site. The owner dropped off freshly picked apples to our site.
