Best RV Parks & Resorts near Kenmare, ND

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Several RV parks operate near Kenmare, North Dakota with varying amenities and site configurations. Roughrider RV Resort in Minot offers 118 full-hookup sites open year-round, with water, electric, and sewer connections. The park accommodates big rigs with 30/50-amp service on predominantly gravel sites. Bowbells RV Park, located north of Kenmare, provides basic water and electric hookups with a dump station on-site. Old Settlers Park in Burlington features spacious RV sites with electric and water hookups, though no sewer connections at individual sites. "The restrooms and paid showers were clean and new. On site laundry was a plus. Management was super nice," according to one visitor at Roughrider.

Between Kenmare and Minot, RV travelers encounter a mix of privately owned and county-operated facilities with varying levels of amenities. Most parks require reservations during summer months, particularly on weekends. Cell service can be inconsistent throughout the region, with stronger Verizon coverage reported at Roughrider RV Resort (3+ bars). Swenson Valley View RV Park provides full-hookup sites for $50 per night, though nearly half the visible RVs belong to the adjacent dealership. Winter access becomes limited as many facilities close seasonally, with only Roughrider and Swenson Valley View maintaining year-round operations. One camper noted, "We stayed in site 95 with FHUs but found it extremely tight to maneuver our fifth wheel between trees that make this a pull-through."

    Enjoyed our stay

    Great flat campground with full hookups. The restrooms and paid showers were clean and new . On site laundry was a plus . Management was super nice . Let us have a late checkout and even brought a few pieces of firewood for free the day before . Conveniently located just minutes from Minot but still quiet .

    Very friendly owners

    This site has both over night camping and long term lots for RV’s. It also has spots for tent camping so if you want a place to camp close to town this is great. The only downfall I would say, is that it is set up for more long term stay and if your looking for a great outdoor experience I would go more out of town but if you are here visiting family for a week or more this is perfect.

    Roughrider RV Resort

    Roughride Describes Our Experience

    We followed our GPS to the campground (CG). There were no signs for this CG off of US-2/US-52 at the turn. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to a very tight pull through site 95 with FHUs. What we were initially concerned about was threading our truck and 5th wheel through two trees that make this a pull through. Other reviewers had labeled this site a“back out.” We also saw that to dump our rear black tank we would need more than 25’ of sewer hose and, unfortunately, we needed to dump for this overnighter. We couldn’t maneuver the rig to get our black tank connectors more in the center. If we pulled up any further we wouldn't have been able to get our bedroom slide out because of the two trees. We went back up to the office and expressed our concerns and asked for another site. One of the office workers got rude with us and said the only other site available was 93. We made an attempt to get into this site but there was a sewer system obstacle that presented an issue getting into the site along with how far forward the rig right next to us was parked. Back at the office, we said we'd just take our original site and make it work. The worker let us know her co-worker told us to pull in the wrong way and we could clear the sewer obstacle. We weren't comfortable trying to make the tight turn with the way the other rig was parked in the next site. The other person at the office also said they have a dump station where we could dump. As we had reserved a FHU site, we were not happy with this option. We went ahead and pulled back into site 95 and set up. When we hooked up water we found that the water hose 2-way splitter we shared with the site next to us would not open all the way. Not wanting to deal with the office anymore, we filled our freshwater tank and used our water pump. We got 3 bars on Verizon. This CG has a lot of site options from crammed together to nicely spaced with good yards. There are also tent sites. Along with the different site configurations, there are full timers, transient workers, seasonal, and short stay. In the row we were in, you are definitely stacked in there and you are door to door with another rig. If you decide to stay here try to avoid row 90-96 as they are very tight, you share utilities, and you are door to door with your neighbor. Needless to say, we will not be back.

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

    Minot AFB FamCamp

    Very Cheap

    Extremely affordable sites, with water and electric. Dump available. Only 6 sites total. Sites are concrete pads, but far from level. Site 1’s water is not working, so we had to piggyback off or site 2 with our own splitter.

    The park is relatively quite, but is used some early mornings for Unit PT and during the day for other unit and small group activities.

    Roughrider RV Resort

    Campground /RV Park

    Out of the two major RV Parks in the area I would consider this to be the best. All the normal amenities except a pool. The front section feels like a true campground with the exception of the sites are a little close and the rear corner is set up like a gravel rv parking lot and priced accordingly. For long term expect to pay rent plus electricity along with a $100 deposit. Also a $100 difference between the front sites with trees and a gravel parking lot in the back. The staff is very friendly and will help out with any problem neighbors. I think the only negative I have is they are a little pricey, but then again the whole area seemed pricey when it comes to campgrounds.

    Antler Memorial Park

    Okay campground

    Decent campground with horse ring, stables, electric hookups, pavilions, 25ish campsites. Several very large 5th wheels, a couple of normal-sized pull behind campers, and of course tents. Not crowded at all, maybe around 25ish campers. 

    Had 1 bar with Verizon -- could send texts but calls drop after a couple of seconds. Dump station and restrooms here. No showers.

    Swenson Valley View RV Park

    Swenson’s Valley View RV Park and Dealership

    Oddly enough, this place is not bad at all for a short overnight visit or if just want to visit The Magic City for a few days.
    We stayed 1 overnight.
    There are a bunch of sites, but understand, the dealership does use many for parking their RV inventory. We did not have a reservation so I can’t say if we had had a reservation, how many sites would be offered. As our visit was on a Sunday, Labor Day weekend arrival, there were 3 back-in sites available in the short term area - all sites in the Park are $50/night with FHU and septic. The short term sites were 60’ and more. For us there were only 1 site with 30/50 amp and 2 with 30amp that were still available.
    The bathroom and showers and the laundry room were absolutely spotlessly clean and roomy.

    Renville County Mouse River Park

    Mouse River Valley is beautiful !

    Mouse River Park is a large RV park nestled between the trees and alongside the Mouse River(Souris River). There are many sites but most seam to be seasonal from local people who come here on weekends. So, there are limited sites for people looking to spend a few nights and move on. Darrell is the caretaker and a great guy. Call him before you come and he will reserve you an available site. $15.00 a night with water/30amp power but there is no sewer hook ups. They have community restrooms and showers. Mouse River is a beautiful place and is surrounded by a National Wildlife Refuge!

Guide to Kenmare

The Kenmare, North Dakota region sits in the prairie landscape of Ward County, approximately 50 miles northwest of Minot. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F with cooler evenings around 55°F. While most camping facilities near Kenmare operate seasonally from May through October, several RV parks remain open year-round for travelers and seasonal workers in the area.

What to do

River activities: Old Settlers Park in Burlington offers riverside camping with swimming access. "Swimming is allowed at your own risk. I'm giving it five stars mostly for how well kept the bathrooms were... it's a cute and peaceful little park," notes camper Stefanie Z.

Disc golf: The course at Old Settlers Park provides recreational options beyond typical camping. "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," according to a visitor.

Wine tasting: Visit Pointe of View Winery just a few miles from Burlington's camping areas. "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," suggests a reviewer.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Roughrider RV Resort in Minot maintains well-kept bathroom and shower facilities. "Very nice neat and clean campground. Nice showers with hot water. Laundry but didn't use," reports Scott K.

Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the room at certain locations. At Old Settlers Park, "Sites are all large. Tent sites are nicest as they are away from road. Tent sites are in separate area from RV sites," according to mary F.

Tent camping options: Swenson Valley View RV Park offers both tent and RV accommodations. While primarily known for RV spaces, the park provides dedicated areas for tent campers seeking overnight stays while traveling through the region.

What you should know

Train noise: Several campgrounds near Kenmare have nearby railroad tracks. "If you are a light sleeper or are bothered by trains this might not be the place for you," warns one camper about Old Settlers Park.

RV dealer proximity: Swenson Valley View serves dual purposes. "Over 100 sites, but almost half are taken by the RV dealership because they own the park... Only 5 of the RVs shown in the pick are guests, the rest are part of the dealership," explains George K.

Site accessibility: Not all RV parks Kenmare visitors encounter are equally accessible. "This site has both overnight camping and long term lots for RVs... it is set up for more long term stay and if your looking for a great outdoor experience I would go more out of town," advises Ashley B. about Roughrider Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds available: Families enjoy the recreational facilities at county-operated parks. Old Settlers Park features "a playground, 'beach', a couple cute bridges, a big grassy field for stargazing or throwing the ball around," perfect for children of various ages.

Kid-friendly atmosphere: Some RV parks welcome families better than others. "Great service, full hook ups, and kids/pet friendly. If you're camping in the area it is the best place BY FAR!!!" notes Russell R. about Roughrider RV Resort.

Budget options: Burlington's Old Settlers Park offers affordable rates. "I love county and city parks. They are always such a great value. This one does not disappoint," shares mary F. about the park's pricing structure compared to private campgrounds.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Choose your camping spot wisely at larger facilities. "We followed our GPS to the campground. There were no signs for this CG off of US-2/US-52 at the turn... If you decide to stay here try to avoid row 90-96 as they are very tight, you share utilities, and you are door to door with your neighbor," advises MickandKarla W.

Hookup considerations: Full-service sites vary in quality. "No problem getting our 37 ft 5er in the park... Water spigot just past the white building. 30/50 service," notes a camper at Old Settlers Park, highlighting the need to verify exact hookup locations before setup.

Navigation tips: RV parks near Kenmare can be tricky to locate. "Oh do not turn in the first park gate! Go on passed it to the faded sign and turn left to the park," recommends Always C. about finding the correct entrance at Old Settlers County Park.
