Best Cabin Camping near Williston, ND

23 Reviews

Three cabin campgrounds near Williston serve the North Dakota region with varied accommodations. Lewis & Clark State Park provides cabin rentals within view of Lake Sakakawea, offering visitors water proximity and access to park amenities including toilets and trash service. Blacktail Dam features cabin options with electrical hookups, picnic tables, and shower facilities. Tobacco Garden Rec Area cabins provide a third option with basic amenities including drinking water and toilet facilities. "This campground has a little of everything. Playgrounds, boat landing, grocery store and restaurant, fishing, cabins, showers, allows insured atv and utv's, bait," notes a visitor review.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are available depending on location preferences. Lewis & Clark State Park remains particularly popular during summer months, with many visitors noting the difficulty of securing prime spots. "People book spots for week and months. Getting a 'good' space is pretty dismal," according to one camper review. Blacktail Dam provides a smaller, more intimate setting with cabins positioned near the water. Most campgrounds welcome pets in certain cabin areas, though Lewis & Clark has more restrictive pet policies. Advance reservations are recommended, especially during peak fishing seasons when the area attracts numerous visitors.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring linens, pillows, and personal items. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations. Tobacco Garden Rec Area includes a grocery store and restaurant on premises, while Lewis & Clark features a general store. "There is a general store that carries lots of fishing gear, some groceries (e.g. ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, buns, bread, chocolate, marshmallows, Graham crackers, ice cream), they have shirts, sweaters, hats, some frozen foods, camping supplies and lots more," explains one regular visitor. Cabin campers should verify amenities when booking as facilities change seasonally, particularly at Blacktail Dam where several reviewers noted seasonal closures of water and bathroom facilities.

    It’s okay

    This is hot spot for the area. While it has some pros there is a huge con

    Pros: Great Lake with best fishing you can get Activities such as swimming, trails, basket ball, geocaching and lots of activities put on by the park Cabin rentals Swimming beach Small craft rentals such SUP 2 playgrounds Dock/ boat launch/ boat storage

    Cons: There is absolutely no space or privacy. Expect to be feet away from your neighbor.

    Very few trees except for the older lane nearer the lake. The newer loop has no trees, shelter or shade. Prepare the bake.

    People books spots for week and months. Getting a “good” space is pretty dismal.

    There a few trees in the older part

    Very Nice CG

    Located in the south east tip of South Dakota on Lewis and Clark Lake (Missouri River). This is a huge cg with over 400 sites divided into four sections. All roads and sites are paved with electric only hook up. We stayed on site 362 which is 50A but most sites are 30A. Fill up your fresh tank at the dump station before going to your site because there are very few accessible spigots near the camp sites. The Yankton Section (about 100 sites) is same day reservation only (first come, first serve). There are several swim areas along the shore and a couple of boat ramps. Several cabins are available for reservation and a separate Marina and Resort are next to the cg. About any activity you can think of is available here, such as disc golf, soccer, basketball, archery, one mile nature trail, six mile bike trail and boat rentals for the large lake.

    Rangers! Park Rangers Everywhere !

    Lewis and Clark didn’t seem like much, but as soon as we got settled in the Park rangers checked on us. They did patrols all the time around and were super friendly! We had one storm while we were there and they gave us the emergency plan as fast as they could. Most campgrounds could care less, they assume you know the deal. I commend the staff at this place, it’s what true North Dakota’s do for each other.

    We also had plenty of space in our campsites and the area is super clean. The trails and the beach were quite exciting as the nights that were clear had the Aurora borealis in the background. So beautiful.

    Blacktail Dam

    Nice Place

    All camp spots are right on the water, though most of them have cat tails and thick vegetation making it difficult to get to the water. Each site has electric that you share with your neighbor. They have a water station, dump station, showers that could use some attention, they have a nice playground for the kids, some picnic shelters, bathrooms and garbage cans. We stayed over the 4th so it was very busy but still enjoyable (coming from a family that prefers our solitude). There isn't a lot of water access for shore fishing and swimming is prohibited in most areas. There is a swimming beach about 1.5 miles from where we had camped which was pretty central to the grounds. It's not a big beach area so busy days it can be a little crowded. It is nice and sandy and great for the kiddos, though. All in all, the campground was nice and I would stay again!

    Beautiful & Clean

    This campground is beautiful. They keep it very well kept. They mow weekly, facilities are very clean, the playgrounds are nice and kept up, the roads (all paved) and rv pads (most gravel) are very nice and the place has tons of trees (except on the beach so bring a beach umbrella!). There is a very nice shower house with 3 shower stalls and flush toilets as well as 2 vanities. There is a general store that carries lots of fishing gear, some groceries (e.g. ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, buns, bread, chocolate, marshmallows, Graham crackers, ice cream), they have shirts, sweaters, hats, some frozen foods, camping supplies and lots more. Lewis & Clark is our favorite place to stay. The beach is super sandy with some, but not many rocks, lots of drift wood and the water is shallow for a long ways so it's great for kids! Hope you love it as much as we do!

    Best campground close to home

    My wife and I come here a couple of times every summer. It’s a great place to brings the dogs. There are plenty of trails and the dogs love swimming in the lake.

    The bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned every night and the park staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a theater area with educational presentations for the kids. Also, there is an ice cream truck that comes through the campground at night.
