The park offers varying site configurations, with some areas more spacious than others. "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," noted one visitor. Bowbells RV Park provides water and electric hookups with sanitary dump facilities, while Swenson Valley View RV Park delivers full hookup sites with 50-amp service and accommodates big rigs with pull-through availability.

Seasonal considerations affect availability throughout the region, with several parks operating from May through October.

Winter travelers should note that Surrey RV Park and similar facilities may shut off water hookups during colder months, leaving only electric available. One camper mentioned: "They had already turned off the water for the winter so there was only electric available. I think there was eight or nine spaces with four that were pull through."

    Roughrider RV Resort

    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.

    Surrey RV Park

    Small but clean

    We stayed here for one night in October. They had already turned off the water for the winter so there was only electric available. I think there was eight or nine spaces with four that were pull through. There also looked to be a dump station, but we didn’t use it. Nice hiking trail behind the local cemetery. Reason I didn’t give it five stars is because there was quite a bit of road traffic and train noise. We paid $25 for the night and you can either leave cash or a check in the dropbox or I believe you can also go to the City Hall during the week.

    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.

    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.

    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.
