    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    A Quiet gem 💎

    If you want the best kept state park I have seen this is the place. Beautiful, quiet, well maintained, and wildlife give this park a perfect 10 for me. Not a scrap of trash the restrooms clean and well stocked. You don’t have a pothole in site- heck not even a weed on the road. Sites are large and come with picnic tables and a fire pit you can also grill on. The sites are covered with lush live well manicured trees and they’ve taken the time to make nice. Greenway breaks between each campsite.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Easy camping spot

    This is a great location if you are just getting into the camping lifestyle. The easy to drive to camp sites and flat geography make it easy to find that perfect spot. If you want to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of running water, you are able to get a site near Buffalo River. If planning on hiking with younger children, the trails around the camp site are very easy as the offer very little elevation change and are very well groomed. The park itself is very pretty all year round whether it's in spring/early summer and seeing the wildflowers and prairie smoke or the fall and the dazzling display of colors.

    Fun Campground

    As soon as I drove up, the first thing I noticed were the backpacking and walk - in sites — I was instantly excited. As I continued up the hill and caught sight of the huge park and expansive beach, I couldn’t believe I wasn’t staying longer. I visited during the off-season, so the restaurant and bar were closed, but there was still plenty to see and do. The on-site store was well-stocked, and there were even rental options for different types of paddling. The lake itself is stunning, with gorgeous views and even a few scenic hills.

    Kidder Recreation Area

    It is small and designed for tent campers

    There's a short row of camp spots in the sun for campers. Seems like a good portion of it is full of people who are here all the time. The rest of the campers are in the back of their truck, which i'm not opposed to, but they're in pretty tough shape and very old. I will say this is one of the least safe places. I have felt in North Dakota.

    Hankinson City Park

    Small town park

    4 grass spots with 30 amp electric picnic table and trash cans. Dump station at the pay box but no water. Found a business that let us fill our tanks. Bathroom across from the sites. Quiet park very nicely kept. Laundry mat across the street. Would stay here again.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Everything you need

    Good state park campground with everything you need. You can make your reservations online once you get there, and it’s nice because there’s no online transaction fee. But watch out that you pay the $7 daily state park entry fee as well as the camping fee, because otherwise you'll get a friendly visit from a ranger! 

     There are two loops, one slightly larger one with 50 and 30 amp power (no water or sewer) for $34, and one smaller one with no power for $24. We stayed in a power site because we couldn’t handle the heat anymore, otherwise the smaller one looked a little nicer and quieter and we would have stayed there. 

    Showers were nice and clean and free. Bathrooms were nice. 

    Very nice walking trails all around the campground and throughout the park as a whole. Trash dumpsters here as well as an assortment of segregated recycle bins. Good cell reception with Verizon and ATT. Firewood available at office for $8 and ice for $3. 

    Group camp is off from the main campground a ways, but connected via a little walking trail. There is a dump station and potable water fill at the campground exit. 

    No drinking allowed at any Minnesota State Park campground!

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Meticulously Maintained Campground Along a River

    Spectacularly well-maintained campground along the Buffalo River in western Minnesota, half an hour east of Fargo, ND.  Two small loops of campsites, one with electrical service and the other without.  We stayed in the larger loop with electrical service: half the loop backing up against the prairie (lower numbers) and the other half backing up against the woods (higher numbers).  Well spaced sites, with some screening between sites.  Very clean bathhouse (appears new) with flush toilets, hot showers and a dish-washing station.  Several looping hiking trails start in and around the campground, so you can put together a hike from 15 minutes to two hours.  Ours was about an hour, half in the prairie and half along the river.  Friendly and helpful staff/rangers.
