General Sibley Park

Stayed here as an overnight stop and it was perfect for what I needed! The tent camping loop is a road through a large field with some picnic tables and trees. You can pull off and pitch your tent anywhere you like. The grass was very plush and I slept very well.

For a tent site, it was $12 cash in the drop box because I got there after hours (not sure if they accept card during office hours).

The campground area is a nice facility in general, but I stayed in the tent area. It cost me $12 for a single night and you can park and pitch your tent anywhere within the area. I believe there is electric in a select few spots, but I didn’t look for it since I didn’t need it.

Overall, there are plenty of trees and shade spots to camp in. They have alot of fire pits, as well as picnic tables. I got here at 3pm on Sunday and the park is so large that I didn’t have any problems getting a spot. It is 5 hours later and only a handful more people have come through.

The bathroom facilities are decent, not clean, but I’d say par for what you’d expect at a campground. A nice note was that the Sheriff drives through, which provides a nice sense of comfort.

This affordable park was just south of Bismarck, had good cell service, and was also a short walk to the Missouri River.

There was a playground, disc golf course, boat launch, and other amenities in the park.

Open tent area only had four other campers there during my stay!
