Blacktail Dam
Blacktail Dam, near Zahl, North Dakota, is a cozy spot for campers looking to enjoy some time by the water. The sites are right on the lake, making it a great place to kick back, though getting to the water can be a bit tricky due to the surrounding vegetation.
This campground has some solid amenities, including electric hookups and a water station. Families will appreciate the playground for the kids and the clean facilities, which include showers and restrooms. One visitor mentioned, “They keep the facilities clean!” so you can expect a decent level of upkeep during your stay.
Fishing is a popular activity here, with decent catches of pike, walleye, and sunfish reported. While swimming is mostly off-limits, there’s a sandy beach about 1.5 miles away that’s perfect for the little ones to enjoy. Just keep in mind that it can get busy, especially around holidays like the 4th of July, so plan accordingly if you prefer a quieter experience.
Whether you're in a tent, RV, or cabin, Blacktail Dam offers a friendly atmosphere and a chance to unwind in nature.
