Nestled in the Sheyenne River Valley, about 65 miles southeast of Jamestown, Fort Ransom State Park is a 950-acre recreation area amid rolling grasslands and mixed woods. Once the site of an 1860s military encampment, the location now offers year-round outdoor recreation, from hiking, fishing, and paddling, to bird watching, horseback riding and camping. In summer, the park rents canoes and provides shuttles to the launch point, for spending leisurely days paddling down the river. In winter, its a popular destination for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The park’s most noted event is the annual Sodbuster Days, which celebrates the farming and homesteading days of the late 1800s with arts, music, food and a rodeo.
The campground at Fort Ransom State Park offers 80 RV, tent and equestrian campsites near the banks of the Sheyenne River. Modern RV sites, with electric and water hookups, are mostly pull-through, while primitive tent sites are mostly walk-in. A few group sites, both modern and primitive, are located near the outdoor amphitheater. The main camp area features flush toilets, showers, a playground, and a dump station. A canoe launch and fishing pier are located nearby. The primitive tent sites and equestrian camp area only offers vault toilets; the latter also has horse corrals. Other amenities include a visitor center, picnic shelters, and a dog park. Campsites are $17–$25/night.

The Mel Rieman Campground and Recreation Area is a 70-acre facility on the shoreline of Lake Ashtabula in eastern North Dakota. The campground is known for its spectacular sunset views. It is close to the Baldhill Dam and within walking distance of the Mel Rieman day-use area, where visitors can swim, fish and picnic. Lake Ashtabula was created by the construction of the Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River in 1944, and is situated in one of the most scenic river valleys in the region. Visitors can choose from a wide range of recreation opportunities year-round, including ice fishing and cross-country skiing during winter months.
There is no shortage of recreation opportunities and outdoor fun in and around the lake. The day-use area is adjacent to the campground and has a visitor center, playgrounds, picnic facilities, concessions, fishing spots and a boat ramp. The name "Ashtabula" is a Native American word meaning "Fish River," which suits the lake's fish population; popular species include walleye, northern pike, white bass, yellow perch and black bullhead. With seven boat ramps, two accessible fishing piers and four automated fish cleaning stations, the lake is very convenient for anglers. Nearly 3,000 acres of land around the lake is managed as wildlife habitat by the Corps of Engineers and open to the public for wildlife viewing, birding, hiking and hunting. Hunters and anglers should contact the North Dakota Game and Fish Department for seasons, restrictions and licenses; fishing licenses and bait may be purchased from concessionaires around the lake. Campers can also reach the 63-mile Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway and access nearly 35 miles of the North Country National Scenic Trail within a short drive.
The lake area lies amidst the 'prairie potholes' region of glacially-carved lakes in North Dakota. Bountiful migratory water birds flock to Lake Ashtabula, including the unique white pelican, which can be seen in large quantities during summer. The region also provides habitat for white-tailed deer, sharptail grouse, wild turkey and gray partridge.

A long, very dusty gravel road got us to this spot. By the time we left, our car and camper looked like 2 dirt piles. That said, the spot was very peaceful with a ton of birds. There is a pit toilet there which was locked. It had a sign telling you how to break in, in the case of emergencies. Never have seen such a sign before. Well, I needed to use it, broke in using a screwdriver, and Ohmygod. It’s going to take awhile to get that out of my head. Do not open up the pit toilet, no matter the emergency.
Scout
Big event, we're lucky to find his space open. campground completely full , thousands of pickups and cars. Level sites with cement pad. Some pull through most back in. Amazingly, very quiet at night.
Guide
Lovely campground with sites along the river and in an area closer to the office and showers. That area is rather tight, but adequate.
Good walking trails.
GuideThis would be a decent campground if it wasn’t for the other city park visitors in the camping area. It’s supposed to be for registered campers only but they allow non campers to fish the river and they abuse that privilege and park their vehicles in front of campers and some even set up a bbq in vacant campsites. There were a couple of teens selling chips and walking through campsites. We felt uneasy about non campers wandering around Most sites are uneven, it’s ok for a one nighter
GuideWe opted for what the staff person told us were more level sites instead of those overlooking the river. Although our site was level, the spaces were closer together. Fine for an overnight stay. Have not checked the bathroom facilities yet, but they do stay locked, a plus.

I was lucky enough to get a spot far under the trees. It was quite private and even though it was labor day weekend, it was quiet and peaceful. Good cell service, I was able to work on Friday via my hot spot. The campground is well maintained and the trail had just been mowed. Unfortunately there are stickers and poor tuck found a number of them. We still had fun.
Guide
A good spot on the river sort of way out in farm country, a good amount of campers on Fri labor day weekend. Im sure any other day it would be empty. Quiet at night, light on bugs, great grass for tents. No water and didnt see a toilet. Prob not good for bigger RVs. Grab a sweet fresh yummy apple from the tree. Only gave it two stars because some of the hillbillies may be a bit creepy.
RangerThe campsites are integrated into the fairgrounds which is different but nice. Very little shade for most of the sites and the reservation process is a bit difficult to navigate but the sites is nice and quiet. There is a bathroom and an outside shower but way better if you have a full camper. Nice access to town and bike trails and across the street and some trails down by the river.
RangerThere'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.
Ranger
But they are very nice and friendly and I ended up with the best spot ever as it is right on the water and under the only few trees available. There is actually 3 campgrounds and they surround the lake. Some of the nicest tent spots I've seen. Small Frisbee golf course and not much formal hiking but you can boat on this lake and lots of fishing from the shore. Poor cell service but lots of open sky and the sat service is killing it today.
Ranger
We might be back to this campground, assuming we don't have cell service where we're going. Calling a campground is a stretch. It's a few parking spots near a small park right inside the town. They're cute. They're nice summer in the shade. And I think milner's a pretty town.
LegendThe convenience and price can’t be beat. For $35 a nice asphalt pad, big grassy site right on the river. Sure there’s some road noise but $35! Very clean bathrooms that are for the overnight campers only, big playground, ball fields, plenty of space to roam and walk. A beautiful city park. We were in town the same night as a street fair down town so we took an $8 Uber and had a great time shopping hundreds of local vendors and food trucks. Pretty awesome Fargo experience all around.
RangerStayed for a few days and thought it was nice. There are two sections and one offers full services and the other just electric service but better shade. The park is well used by the community as there were softball games nightly and the pool was full.
GuideWell maintained campground, has water and multiple vault toilets. There’s a loop for horse camping and a loop for non horse camping. Each site has a fire ring and a nice table, most spaces have trees to provide shade. Verizon works okay, not great but I had a bar or two. Can hear trains running by every so often. Only downside was the abundance of biting flies and mosquitoes.
Guide
We stopped here briefly in a cross country trip, so we got in late and left in the morning. This looks like a new site, made in a flat field near the vineyard. It is basically an open flat field with power/water hook ups in the middle and 14 gravel spots on either side. There are a few young trees planted, but no shade. No picnic tables, no restrooms, all pretty bare bones. There is one shared fire pit for the entire camp near the dumpster. The grass was freshly cut and there was no litter. The grapes growing next to us was a nice view to wake up to.
The one dumpster was very full, and no camp host or personelle to ask questions to. We reserved online about an hour before we arrived at 1am, and online said there were three other campers out of the 14 sites. Yet when we arrived, there were 4 additional campers there, luckily not in the spot we reserved. Heads up: There is a seven dollar tax/fee added on to our bill we didn’t know about until after we checked out. Don’t forget bug repellent. In as many forms as you can wear.
I think once the trees grow in a bit, and if they get picnic tables for each site, it would be much more user friendly.
Guide
Clean, easy booking online, full hookups and less than 10 minutes from 94. 8 sites total. Stayed at site 1 for $25. Great big fire pit but street light is right next to the site and bugs were biting. Overall quiet, safe location in historic town. Next time would like to check out Old 10 Saloon.
Scout
Coldest shower ever other than that nice place quiet
TravelerThere are gorgeous sites well spaced and lots of shade. Trails to bike ride around. No motorized vehicles allowed so it's quiet. Road in was good gravel. Picnic tables, fire rings and pit toilets. $10 / night. Great find.
ScoutParked in a shaded spot. Very quiet and well kept. Used Roverpass.com to reserve the spot. Very pleased
Ranger
This is a well maintained well cared for well laid out county campground. A number of sites kind of exposed to the sun but hookups and bathrooms available. Tiny Lake for fishing and a beach for swimming. And good for North Dakota there's a large tree claim th at helps keep the wind off of you. I barely have Verizon service so if I was going to try to work I would probably have to use my satellite system but other than that it's adorable I wish it had more hiking.
LegendThis campground(CG) was easy to find. Because it was a Tuesday during the off-season, the check-in gate was not open, so we proceeded back to site 24, which was electric only(50/30/20 AMP) for our two-night stay. This small state park has many trees, but with the road being wide enough, the trees weren't in the way, and with no ditch this was an easy back-in. The sites here are also nicely spaced. A park ranger came by later and gave us our post and vehicle tags. There was highway and train noise. There are mature trees in the CG, but we were able to get enough north sky for Starlink. On Verizon, we got 3 bars. There is potable water at the dump station, which is at the park entrance. The shower/restroom facility was in good shape and clean. We enjoyed the trails, some interpretative, around this state park. As the nights were cooler, we opened our bedroom windows and noticed that trains ran almost continuously through the night. Overall, we had a good visit and would consider staying here again.
Guide
Stopped here on our way through North Dakota, perfect site with flushable bathrooms, good water and a beautiful sunrise.
LegendWe wanted to explore the cool town of Fargo, but it was too hot to stay at one of the free parking options in town, so this campground just outside of town would have been perfect. Per the online reservation system, there was only one spot left, B10, so we drove over to the park to snag it. Luckily the ranger in the office advised us that we may want to check it out first before paying for it, because of the odd shape. And she was right. We probably could have fit, if we backed up far enough, but the slope of the site was just way, way too steep. Pretty much all of the sites here at this campground were just too steep to be able for us to get comfortable in our 26ft class c. There was a class c with its front end completely on the lifts and the front tires about 2 ft in the air.
So, sadly we passed and kept moving. It seems like a really nice campground, very green, nice park like setting. There’s a bike rental, a pond, a huge playground, just a lot of fun things to do with the family. Some of the sites share a little entry driveway so watch for that if you want to camp with friends, or if you want to avoid being overly close to a neighbor.
LegendGood 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!
RangerThe lake is very pretty. The swimming area is very nice. They have full bathrooms with showers. A number of different camp sites to be at. Campsites are a little close but I think they're trying to save nicer spots for tents.
Ranger
Hiking trails and places for kids to play on playground equipment and access to the lake with very nice docks and the North country trail goes through. One can hike or bike long if you want. Last, there is lots of shade so you can can't privately in the shade or in a very public campground either way.
GuideEasy access from freeway. Level sites, though some close together. Beautiful quiet peaceful place. Dump station, electric hookups.
