Hazen Bay Rec Area

Managed by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Sakakawea Recreation Area, Hazen Bay Rec Area sits along the shores of Lake Sakakawea in central North Dakota, operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Group sites run slightly uneven but are manageable for most rigs, and the campground is rated big-rig friendly. Water levels on the lake can vary enough to eliminate beach access entirely. Fishing is the main draw here. No pets are allowed, so plan accordingly before arriving.

The campground includes drinking water, flush toilets, a dump station, trash service, and a camp store, covering most practical needs for a stay. Cell service is available. Anglers looking for campgrounds near Sakakawea Recreation Area will find several other access points along the lake worth considering alongside this one.

Nice

Hazen Bay has easy access to the water. Full hook ups which is nice!

Quiet, clean shower rooms

Group sites are not real level but manageable. Lake was high so there was no beach. What was left of the water front was taken up by inconsiderate fisherman who couldn’t pull the trailers out of the way.
