"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."
"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."
$25 - $50 / night
"Not far from the wildlife refuge and highway 94. Very simple campground, really only fishing here."
"Nice little bar/resturant on site with free wifi. Basically no cell service. Decent swimming with boat landing. Small playground for kids."
"Book early as it is a popular area. Full bathroom with showers. Hosts keep it clean but unfortunately some people are pigs."
"It is not technically “lakeside” but about a half mile walk across the highway to get to the lake. It is well kept. Playground was nice and our kiddos loved it. Would stay here again!"
"I didn't spend the night but stopped on my drive past. 3 little cabins which were reasonably priced, a handful of spots with hookups and a bathroom but no shower."
LegendHave 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.
GuideNice 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
TravelerWe 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.
GuideThis 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.
ScoutSo 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.
ScoutWe 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.
RangerBeautiful, 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!
GuideStayed 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.
LegendI didn't spend the night but stopped on my drive past. 3 little cabins which were reasonably priced, a handful of spots with hookups and a bathroom but no shower. Cute and would be a fine stop on a weekend trip through.
