    Right on the Missouri River/Lake Oahe

    We spent one night here and paid about $28 as there was a nonresident camping fee. You can have your choice between campsites that are in the sunshine or campsites that are in the trees. About half the sites were very nicely spaced apart. Lake looks like it would be great for going out on a boat and fishing. Nice looking playground as well. They did have a dump station as well as potable water, but not at the sites.

    Lakeside City Park - Eureka

    Nice overnighter.

    This campground has 18 sites. 1 - 13 are 30 - 20 amp service. Sites 14 - 18 are 50 - 30 -20 amp service. Located centrally in the park is a tornado shelter, kind of a nice touch. There are 4 fire pits to share between 18 sites. There is no sewer at locations. No water at locations, but they do have a hydrant located near the garbage dumpster. Bathrooms are OK clean. Showers are free. Campground is located next to high school athletic fields, so was very busy on Friday night. There is a beautiful Veterans Memorial across the street that was nice to walk through. Also across the street is a boat ramp and parking for a nice little lake. Grounds were mowed nicely and fairly clean of litter.

    Leola City Park

    Nice and quiet, virtually no shade.

    This is a very well maintained campground. No litter. Roads are level. Sites are gravel back in. Night lights (located between sites 10 - 11 and 3- 4) light up the north and south ends of the campgrounds very nicely. I counted 5 (spaced around)working water spigot for the 12 sites. Sites have 50 - 30 - 20 amp receptacles. (Site 11 was my first choice, stop, but it registered an open ground in the electrics.). Site 10 was fine. Playground has swings and a slide. There is also frisbee golf. The little lake has a boat dock and seating around it. Picnic house has electrical plug-ins and all the picnic tables (8). Sadly, the sites are very short. From the front of my tow vehicle to the back of my camper is around 22 feet, and both barely make it into the site.

    Nice little campground

    Gets kinda loud on the weekend but still lots of open spots. Affordable with hookups, decent showers. Grass is well taken care of and the lake is pretty.

    Very Quiet

    The park is well maintained and the bathhouse was clean with great showers.

    Our campsite was a pull through and fairly level. Not much level yard space but nice spacing. Very quiet campground.

    Pleasant overnight

    The grounds here are extremely well manicured. Flush bathrooms were clean and fresh, smelling. Pit toilets were clean. Picnic tables are in near new condition. Back in sites are fairly level. It rained while we were there, and the sites drained quickly. Views of the Missouri River (Lake Powell) extraordinary. Power as you would expect, 50, 30, 15 amp service. EMS showed no faults in electrical connections. $20.00 a night. Potable water at shower house and dump station.

    Weaver Park-Edgeley Campground

    Place to stop

    Looks like they have about 15 sites You're essentially parked in the Sun. With hookups and a patch of grass but otherwise no shade and no activities so it must be for people who come to do sports or something else in town during the summer.

    Whitestone Hill Historic Site

    This is a campground you can stay at across from the battlefield

    There are no services here there's a bathroom a couple of picnic tables but it's a big wide open space that I'm sure you can park anywhere you want. The attraction of course is the Whitestone battlefield across the small lake from here which is walkable distance and has a memorial to what happened on that site.

    Lake Hoskins RV Park & Campground

    Cute park for locals or someone passing through for a night

    We don't have time to stay but we definitely wanted to stop and see it. The park is small it has a couple of boat ramps some fishing docks playground toilets which were closed water which was off and looks like several people probably camp here long-term probably for a special rate. It's cute lots of trees the dam is within walking distance I'll put up some pictures if you needed a place to stay for the night I totally stay here.

    Tiny campground but great view of the lake

    I'm in spot number one and I'm pretty much 360 surrounded by water it's very pretty. Nice breeze which should keep the bugs down and a small walk around with different fishing docks and swimming area. Bathrooms were older but clean and provide a shower and we're open and water and everything was turned on.

    Beaver Lake State Park Campground

    Very well maintained park

    Beaver Lake also known as Red Lake is an older North Dakota State Park and it's very well done. The bathrooms are closed so I can't see in and all of the modern camping is on the same loop but there's also group camping and tent camping and cabins. They're genuinely is a lot of trails to hike and well they may seem uninteresting from a distance because they're North Dakota prairie We saw everything from prairie chickens to turkeys to deer on our walk. The lake is bigger than you think doesn't seem to have a whole lot of use We came on a Saturday we're probably going to stay and work for a week and have only seen a handful of people come in the meantime. I needed to use my Tesla Rome network I don't have good enough cell reception to work from here so keep that in mind if you're a traveler who's working.

    A Quiet Campground

    First off, the directions are correct but the marker on the map is wrong This nice little campground is located at 45°52'54.9"N 100°20'13.6"W.

    I have only camped here in the months of October, November and sometimes December. The campground may or may not be accessible in the winter months due to snow. I camp here in the fall while the hunting season is in full swing and besides my camp and my brothers camp, we are the only campers in the park. There are showers and toilets in the park but the water is usually shut off by the time we arrive which is usually about the 3rd weekend of October. This park is located on Lake Oahe which is a part of the Missouri River and is a popular place for fisherman. A steakhouse and bar is just but a quarter mile away and the town of Pollock is about 3 miles away where you can get limited groceries and supplies. Like my title says, it is a quiet campground in the fall. I have been there a few times in the summer months and can say that there were very few campers in the park then and most likely a quiet park in the summer months as well, especially if you avoid holidays. Nothing bad to say about the park, it is pretty, there are some sites along the river (water may or may not be close, depends on level of reservoir) and many sites protected by tree lines.

    Lovely waterfront campground

    Stayed 3 days, due to not wanting to drive in the storm the last day. First 2 days were lovely and just the right amount of shade from the trees. Only 2 vault toilets, 1 in each of the RV and Tent areas. Could have done with a regular clean, but there were only 2 sites taken when we stayed. An extra 2 toilets and shower block by the boat ramp. Also a playground. (Note: Drinking water and showers are seasonal, so check the website if you need these to be operational) Each of the RV sites had their own grill and picnic table. Looked like the tent sites may share these facilities. Lots of locals visit to fish, and seemed to be quite lucky as well with Catfish and Walleye. Lovely place to visit for a few days. Also note, if you have an annual parks pass, you may get up to a 50% discount when booking.

    Nice and peaceful

    Quiet little campground on the edge of a quaint little town. Walking distance to a laundromat, bakery and diner. Showers, facilities and sewer dump available. Not amazing but definitely meets the needs of a place to lay your head at night.

    Kulm Campground

    Convenient campground on the edge of the small town of Kulm. It has about 20 back in sites with water septic, and 30 and 50 amp hookups. No cable or WiFi. Sites are level and some have shade. Free swimming at the town pool next door when they are open.

    Medina City Park

    Beautiful large park ringed with camping

    We stopped here on the drive through the northern states. Every city park is different and this one is great. There is a really big picnic area. All around the outside edge are campsites. There is water and electric(for higher amp plugs). The restroom is simple but it has a shower- so unexpected! 

    A high school baseball team was stranded here for a bit. Their bus overheated. At least the town put together a wonderful place to relax while they wait for another ride. 

    For only $15 the nights stay was perfect. It is a bit warm today but some shade helps. 

    Note: Sunday evening is lawn mowing day. We bunched up our camp and they came as close as they could. It’s nice to see this so well maintained.

    Nice, quiet, clean and cheap

    Stopped at this campground on our way across the state.  It was a great place to be for the night.  It was just far enough away from the I-94 and the railroad tracks that we got a quiet night sleep.  Bathrooms were clean, lots of picnic tables although they are in the park, not right next to the campsite.  Hookups available and a great playground for the kids.  Only $15 for the night which includes water and electric.

    Great little campground with friendly Rangers. We have stayed here on hunting trips for 3 years now and it’s great every time. The cabins are awesome and very adorable.
