Best Cabin Camping near Jamestown, ND

Several campgrounds near Jamestown, North Dakota offer rustic cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Jamestown Campground features two rustic cabins equipped with mini-fridges and basic furnishings. According to one visitor, "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." Pelican Point Landing also provides cabin options for those who prefer fishing and lakeside activities, while Binford Park Campground, located about an hour north, maintains three small cabins with access to shared bathroom facilities but no showers.

Cabin sizes and amenities vary significantly between locations, with most being pet-friendly and available from May through September. Fort Ransom State Park Campground, situated about an hour southeast of Jamestown, offers unique historic lodging options including pioneer cabins and fully equipped yurts with lofts that can accommodate larger families or groups. Most cabins are reasonably priced, making them affordable alternatives to tent camping or hotel stays. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer weekends when occupancy rates increase substantially. A camper at Binford Park noted the cabins were "reasonably priced" and would "be a fine stop on a weekend trip through."

Most cabin rentals provide basic furniture and sometimes refrigerators, but guests typically need to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and personal items. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only outdoor fire pits while others may include small appliances. The Jamestown area has several grocery stores and supply shops where visitors can purchase food and camping necessities. Campground offices or small on-site stores at locations like Jamestown Campground and Fort Ransom State Park sell firewood, ice, and limited groceries. For extended stays, cabin campers should plan to bring or purchase most supplies locally before settling in.

    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

    Pelican Point Landing

    Poorly behaved campers

    Have to give this a low review from the experience we had while staying the night of July 6th. It was a full campground and might of been nice with the exception of several groups staying at the campground. Teens staying up till 3pm being loud and racing around on a golf cart. Intoxicated adults taking lap after lap around the campground in the back of a pickup yelling and swearing at campers that didn't wave back to them. Another group in the campground setting off fireworks until midnight. Zero attempts by camp host to quiet these individuals. Our group of Scouts were besides themselves and have no desire to ever camp in North Dakota again. Other wise this might have been a nice place to stay.

    Jamestown Dam/Lakeside Marina Campground

    Jamestown reservoir campground

    We 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.

    Jamestown Campground

    Really Nice

    This 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.

    My favorite campground experience ever

    So 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.

    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.

    Fort Ransom State Park Campground

    Nice experience by the Sheyenne River and Grasslands

    This 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.

    Amazing , a must stop

    Beautiful, 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!

    Great, accommodating owners!

    Stayed 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.
