    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.

        Great Park with friendly staff

        We 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.

        Close to highway

        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. 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

        Wonderful park

        This is the second time we’ve stopped at this park. Very well maintained- great bathroom facilities- dog park- playground and a tunnel of trees to meander through.

        Clean restrooms, spacious level sites, fast Wi-Fi.

        We stayed one night in a 26’C. Close to the interstate by not a problem for us. 3/4 mile grass walking trail around the perimeter with a couple sitting areas.

        Amazing , a must stop

        Beautiful, 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!

        Very Neat Park

        First time here, it was different than expected but in a good way. The ND scenery was great with the river valley. It is a small park as far as number of spots but well spaced out and very well maintained.

        Decent, not great

        Sayed in a 36 ft 5th wheel and had no issues getting it setup, although the ground was far from level, we managed. Went with 2 other families worh neighboring camp sites. Some sites have sewer hookups, most, including ours, did not. Our site was all sand/gravel but the rest seemed to be grass. Nice little bar/resturant on site with free wifi. Basically no cell service. Decent swimming with boat landing. Small playground for kids.

        My favorite campground experience ever

        So 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.

        Really Nice

        This 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.

        Beautiful spacious campground, with green grass and a lot of trees. There is a nice area for the kids to play and a great walking trail for dogs. Definitely would recommend a week night stay.

        Great, accommodating owners!

        Stayed 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.

        Terrific Hosts & Convenient Location!

        Very well run campground. Friendly and responsive owners. Lots of trees help to beat the heat. Clean bathrooms & showers, laundry facilities, and good internet. Grounds are well kept. Easy access from freeway. Sites are a little too close but encourages getting to know your neighbors! The mile long frontage road is a washboard right now.

        Just Off the Highway

        Friendly camp managers greeted us. Found the camp well maintained and shady. We only stayed overnight as we were enroute to Minneapolis. As others have mentioned, the access road is dusty and a bit bumpy. There is a nearby Walmart Super store and fueling stations.

        Lovely River

        This campground has the North Country Trail go right through it, and that is how we ended up camping there. Kids enjoyed the ice cream and refreshments for sale at the gift shop. We were able to get down to the river from our primitive site and cool off. While the bank its self was quite steep and muddy the water felt amazing. Firewood for sale at the gift shop and they drop it off to your site.

        Shaded and quiet

        Stayed a night here on a Wednesday and there were only 5 other people. Host said it was going to be full over the weekend. It was very quiet for us. Lots of shade trees. 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!

        Hiking trails and river for canoeing/kayaking/fishing

        Stayed at a site in the open field near to the road.  (last site available) only down side was that you got to feel the ND winds (10-30mph+) all the time.....   Next time will stay on the other side of the river at their "primitive" campsites.  those sites are all in the trees and secluded.  Also has walk-in tent sites.  Plenty of local hiking trails right from the campsite.

        Nice experience by the Sheyenne River and Grasslands

        This is a year round multi-use state park along the forest-lined Sheyenne River and near the Sheyenne National Grasslands. There are miles of trails through all kinds of habititats from forest to prairie to riparian shores and the water trail. In winter there is great cross country skiing and snowshoeing and summer of course has camping, canoeing, hiking, and nature watching. This seems to be a big park for horse campers and they are well set up for that with corrals and designated horse campgrounds. There is a standard campground for car camping, campers and RVs with the usual amenities, then there is the so-called "primitive" campground which is for tents only, either in drive in tent campsites, or at walk-in tent sites that are very spacious and right on the river! Very nice. The "primitive" tent area has quiet rules including no use of generators, so we like that. The tent area did not have its own water source though, so you do have to walk across the river bridge to the main campground to get water. Also, while there were no problems about flooding on our trip, the sites are in a lowland area adjacent to the river floodplain so could be a concern at times of heavy rain. Other options, should you want to go for historic lodging or "glamping", there is the option to reserve a covered wagon or pioneer cabin to stay in, or a fully equipped really amazingly cool yurt with a loft that could host a large family or group. If you like hiking or canoeing or horseback riding or nature exploring, there are alot of good options here for the summer camper. Things are quieter right now as there as fewer campers due to  covid, they are also a little short staffed and the grounds look a tad bit rough around the edges and in need of a bit of maintanence. Also, the park was established on the grounds on an old fort which seems to have had some historic controversy, and the main park entrance sign was burned in a recent protest event so be aware of that when you are trying to find the park. And, while staying at the park, visit the exhibits in the visitor's center to learn more about the history of the area and the old fort so you can put all this into respectful context.

        Nice!

        This is a pretty good spot. When we were there in June the campground was having a Halloween celebration and my daughter loved it. There’s good trails to walk and it’s generally quiet. Sites aren’t very private, but the people were nice. It seemed to be more of a “locals” campground.

        Poorly behaved campers

        Have 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.
