    Roughrider RV Resort

    I love this campground, it was like a breath of fresh air after getting lost in

    I love this campground, it was like a breath of fresh air after getting lost in northeast north dakota and not seeing a soul for hours and sleeping on the side of the highway, driving up to Roughrider was like seeing an oasis in the desert. It is the nicest campsite we have been to in a while, $15/ night for primitive tent camping and pets allowed on leashes. The showers got hot INSTANTLY. We were welcomed so warmly after freezing in the car all night. 1000/10.

    Old Settlers Park

    Small and cute, clean bathrooms

    We stayed 3 nights in early September, Fri-Sun. I was a bit surprised at how few people were there - 2 or 3 long campers and we were the only tent campers. It was nice for privacy but felt a little eerie at times. That being said it was nicely maintained and I have to mention the bathrooms are replenished and cleaned daily and fully stocked with CHARMIN ULTRA toilet paper which is an absolute luxury at a simple campground lol. The showers are also pretty nice and the facility is heated. So appreciated. It has a little pavilion, a playground, “beach”, a couple cute bridges, a big grassy field for stargazing or throwing the ball around, a disc golf course, and of course you’re right on the river which is cool. Swimming is allowed at your own risk. I’m giving it five stars mostly for how well kept the bathrooms were, but it did feel a little desolate at times. I get it’s the end of camping season though and it was a little cold at night so that’s probably why. There are a few stray cats and dogs wandering about at times. We are good sleepers and this didn’t bother us much but there are heavily trafficked train tracks a couple hundred yards away from the campground so if you are a light sleeper or are bothered by trains this might not be the place for you. Umm all in all it’s a cute and peaceful little park that made a nice home for a few nights. It’s patrolled by police throughout the day too. We’d probably stay there again if we ever happen to go to Minot. Oh! There’s a decent North Dakota style winery (sweet fruit wines) a couple miles down the road with a lovely view and even some hikes. Worth a visit - Pointe of View. Ok, done now I promise.

    Great service, full hook ups, and kids/pet friendly. If you’re camping in the area it is the best place BY FAR!!!

    Mouse River Park

    Not for “camping”

    No hiking paths. Water is filthy- no swimming (dogs or other). Nowhere to take the dogs for shaded walks or off leash play. Lots of cockleburs everywhere.

    There are several playgrounds if you have small kids (we don’t). There is a bar, if you are a drinker (we aren’t). There are kayaks if you don’t mind the slimy water (we do).

    I think this place is more for hanging out with friends and glamping and drinking. We are campers, so it’s just not for us.

    Magic tenting

    We had a magical stay in our tent. The place is well kept and tucked away with beautiful sites next to the river.

    Old Settlers Park

    Long walk to the bathroom

    This is a clean little campground with easy access to US-2. It has free showers but it’s in the only bathroom which is a long walk from the camping sites.

    Northgate Dam Rec Center

    Great spot!

    Such a nice camping spot. Clean and tidy, on a beautiful pond with lots of rec opportunities. Playground with basketball court; clean vault toilets; electric available at each site. Best part... $5 per night, $10 if you want electric.
    Half hour from Portal border crossing.
