Just staying for one night, the campground looks great but it is late October so water at the sites is shut off and weather is rainy and windy. Train sounds nearby

Nice park
Quiet park within walking distance to downtown Grafton. Plenty of trails to walk your dogs. One washer and one dryer. My husband put our laundry in and went a couple minutes away to our tt to get his phone, and when he went back into the laundry room a man was going through our clothes in the washer and took my underwear. He probably had to wash his underwear after the conversation with my hubby. 😂

Icelandic State Park Campground
Great ND State Park
Once again this state park is very nice. On a lake with a beach and swimming area, large play areas and walking trails. Has a large dog park that both my dogs enjoyed. Very clean with easy access in and out of spots (we have a 35' 5th wheel).
Will be back.

Quiet with a private feel
Icelandic State Park is a great place to camp. A majority of the sites feel private and the campground is quiet. The hiking trails are easy and bugs are not bad. You are also close to Pembina Gorge. There is a paved bike trail that takes you into Cavalier from the campground

Mellow
This is an awesome space with quite a lot to do. There is an amazing museum across the road and many historical buildings on the property. There are hiking trails and a swimming beach. I stayed at site 45 and we had a big open yard in front of us. Didn’t feel packed at all but I could see it getting uncomfortable if totally sold out for a weekend. A lot of the sites aren’t level, so be prepared with some leveling blocks. Bathrooms are great and they are constantly cleaning them.

Beautiful space
I didn’t love our campsite, it was small and not very private. I liked the look of the primitive campsites so I think that’s what I would book in the future if I didn’t need any power. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and modern.

Wonderful camping
We have stayed here twice and will definitely go back again. Playgrounds is great for the kids, bike/ hiking trails are very nice. Beach is great for those hot summer days, they also have an ice cream shop down by the beach. Bathrooms and showers are very nice and clean. We normally stay in the North Loop and have water and electric sites with dump station very accessible when leaving. They have different kids activities worth the Park Rangers and some theme weekends.

Clean Facilities, Great Host, Crowded on Weekends, No Privacy
We stayed at Icelandic State Park Campground and were very impressed by how well-kept the place is. The restrooms and showers were genuinely clean— no bugs, no bad smells, and consistently hot water... unless someone next to you opens a faucet. Pro tip: the family shower room has reliably hot water at all times.
The campground host was excellent— friendly, helpful, and clearly takes pride in the place.
The grounds are large, clean, and well-maintained— freshly mowed and very tidy. That said, there’s almost zero privacy at most sites, so don’t expect any seclusion. We were there on a weekend, and the place was fully booked— it's clearly a popular destination, so reserve ahead.
Note: in addition to the campground fee, you also pay a park entrance fee($7 per vehicle per day, or per entry— not entirely clear).
Our Starlink connection worked perfectly— open skies made for a strong, stable signal.

Leistikow City Park
Park is beautiful but utility hookups are horrendous!
Good: green, lots of trees, big dog park, adjacent city park and trail, cute town. Bad: hook-ups are awful—they are behind your RV spot, shared with the RV behind you; shared power pedestals so only one gets 50amp, whoever gets there first; the 20amp breaker was useless; sewer connections are 90° angle and 1/2” off ground so almost impossible to use sewer elbow and they have sewer flies; water is a pex tube coming out of the ground, shared, and had a unremovable fitting that did not allow me to connect my pressure regulator. Some sites have utilities on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE side of standard RV connections requiring two additional sewer hoses and extra power cord. Ridiculous.

Situated approximately 22 miles west of Grand Forks, cabins in the area provide visitors shelter options in this region where temperatures can fluctuate significantly between seasons. Reservations should be made well in advance for cabins, particularly during summer holiday weekends.
What to do
Hiking trails: Turtle River State Park features numerous wooded trails with elevation changes unusual for this part of North Dakota. "Lots of great trails with some awesome views" notes Spencer F., who recommends the park for those "looking to get away from the flat land of North Dakota."
Fishing opportunities: Anglers can access the Turtle River for fishing throughout the park. "The river is good for fishing, and there are a lot of trails. It is a good get-away for folks who live in the Grand Forks area," reports Janet R. about Turtle River State Park Campground.
