Best RV Parks & Resorts near Wahpeton, ND

Several RV parks near Wahpeton offer full hookup options for motorhome travelers. The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park and Resort provides 20/30/50 amp electrical hookups with water and sewer at all sites, situated on level gravel pads. "Very nice and well taken care of campground that surrounds silver lake. Our site had a gravel pad that required very little leveling with very nice grass surrounding it," noted one visitor about a nearby park. Hankinson Hills Campground accommodates big rigs with primitive sites but lacks electric hookups, water connections, and dump facilities. Buffalo River State Park Campground, located near Glyndon, features spacious back-in sites with 50/30/20 amp electrical service and operates from April through November.

Throughout the region, RV site amenities vary considerably between parks. Dump stations are available at Buffalo River State Park and The Homestead at Ottertail, while Hankinson Hills has vault toilets but no sanitary dump. Cell service is generally strong at Buffalo River State Park, with campers reporting 3-4 bars on Verizon networks. According to one visitor, "We stayed in a power site because we couldn't handle the heat anymore, otherwise the smaller [non-electric] loop looked a little nicer and quieter." Most parks in the area welcome pets but require them to be leashed and cleaned up after. Seasonal availability differs significantly—Buffalo River State Park closes in November while Hankinson Hills remains open year-round, making winter planning essential for motorhome travelers.

    Silver Lake Rec Area

    Beautiful campground

    Very nice and well taken care of campground that surrounds silver lake. You could tell that the groundskeepers take a lot of pride in how well kept it is. Our site had a gravel pad that required very little leveling with very nice grass surrounding it. Our site had water and electric hookups however we shared a post with our neighbors and each post had one 30 amp and one 50 amp plug so you’ll need an adapter if your neighbor is already plugged in to 30 amp service. There was a very nice swimming beach and what appeared to be a new playground for the kids. There is a north section that is apparently for quiet people that don’t stay up late and south section for all the others. Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after and kept out of certain sections of the campground. I will defiantly be back

    Maplewood State Park Campground

    Loved our short time here in a camper cabin

    We stayed at Maplewood State Park mid-July. We actually stayed in one of the 3 camper cabins and loved it! They have electricity, heat, ceiling fans and a private dock on Beers Lake. There is a vault toilet & water spicket nearby. Each cabin has its own fire pit and picnic table area. It felt very private although the cabins are rather near to each other. We checked out the campgrounds and they had spacious sites, some more private than others. It had a family friendly feel and was obviously a favorite spot for fisherman and water recreation enthusiasts. I wish we could have spent more time in the 9200 acre park. There is a swimming beach & picnic area that allows you to have campfires, as well as a nice shower house. The ranger was helpful regarding my questions about the lake and potentially renting a cabin for ice fishing this winter. At sunset, sitting by the lake, it was beautiful- nothing but songbirds and the call of loons to listen to.

    Buffalo River State Park Campground

    Nice Little State Park

    This 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.

    Ashby Resort Campground

    Some semi-private sites - full hookups in other sites

    Each site has a picnic table and some sites have a fire ring.  There are tent-only sites that have no hookups and there are semi-private sites for RVs with electric hookup only or sites that are closer together for RVs that have full hookups.

    Call 218-747-2959 to book a site.  The campground has a lot of trees and most campsites are on grass.

    There is also a motel and cabins on-site that you can book.  The motel rooms, cabins and new cabins (these are like smaller mobile homes) are all lakeside giving you nice views.  

    The campground has paddle boards, paddle boats, kayaks and canoes that are available to guests at no extra charge, too.  You can rent a fishing boat or pontoon either by the day or the week.  There is a fish cleaning house on-site as well.  

    This campground is in the heart of Minnesota's lake's country.
