    Kota Ray Dam

    Not as expected

    Picked a site online from the website. Looked like a nice long back in by the lake. Turns out it had a big hump in the middle of it and the power was on the wrong side a to far away to reach. Went up the hill and found a place to park in site three while the guy I called checked to see if it was reserved . Luckily it wasn’t so I was able to set up and get the air going Other thing to mention is I’m in a 28 foot travel trailer. The road in if you can call it that was pretty worn out. First part was bumpy and patched tar. The rest was gravel so had to go slow It’s a bare bones park that doesn’t see much attention. But if you wanna be alone, this will work. Only three of us here. Bugs are a bit of a problem here as everywhere this time of year. Little no see ‘ems are the worst. Just a few Skeeters. I’m told there’s a dump station, but haven’t looked at it yet. Was looking for a quiet place to wait out the heat for a few days that had power. So it works for that. And I’m beholding to Jeremy at the office in town for helping with the reservation switch. I would suggest you come here first before picking a site. The ones on the loop on the hill are more level.

    Good For Families

    We love Kota Ray. Its small, the swimming beach is pretty decent, the campsites aren't too terrible (I wish some of them were just a bit more level), the bathrooms are usually cleaned well and they have lots of picnic shelters. The fishing is good and it's a great little pond for kayaks and paddleboards. Only electric at sites, no water hookups.

    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.

    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.

    Good for a pass though or if you are going to the lake

    $15-$20 a night depending on if you need electric. Looks like most of the campground is full of “long timers”. We just camped on a pass though and it was great. General store, boat access, fish cleaning stations, dump pits, and water.

    Mountrail County Parshall Bay Recreation Area

    Beautiful place to camp

    There are many accommodations for all types of camping/RVing. Great place to boat and had a couple fun playgrounds for the kids. Staff is super friendly the only downfall is that it is not reservable. You have to drive out there with your camper or RV and be in front of the office to get for your spot. First come first serve. There are a lot of spots though so it’s not to bad, just don’t expect to go out there on a Friday night and get a place.

    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!

    Great Family Fishing Hole

    Great Family Area! Had to 2 play grounds, 4 little docks (1 fishing, for swimming area), Fish cleaning station!

    A lot of camper slots (also can be used as tent spots) with electrical hook ups. No dump area or water hook ups 😔.

    Bring a kayak, canoe, or boat and enjoy excellent fishing for trout, walleye and blue gill!

    Kota Ray Dam

    Cute

    Perch are hot right now. Along with a few other species in this little lake. Fun place to go for the weekend far enough out of town to feel like a getaway. We have been here camping once in early May, the fish weren’t biting then, but just a few weeks ago it was hot for fishing. Cute and quiet but can fill up fast with campers. Get there early to get a good spot. Also offers day use shelters
