Mature aspen and oak trees define the layout at International Peace Garden campground, where sites are spread far enough apart that neighboring campers rarely feel close. The campground sits within the International Peace Garden on the North Dakota-Canada border, open from June through September. Concrete pads on most sites and raised wooden platforms on some tent sites make setup straightforward, even on uneven ground. Signage from the park entrance to the campground is sparse, and the drive in is longer than most visitors expect, so first-timers should plan accordingly.
Full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections, accommodate RVs up to 70 feet. Paddlers can bring their own kayaks or rent them on-site to access the ponds and lakes within the gardens. The bathrooms are older but reviewers consistently note they are clean, with warm water and solid pressure. Firewood is available on-site, and campfires are permitted. Pets are welcome, and campers looking at pet-friendly camping near International Peace Garden will find this one of the more established options in the area.
Entry to the park runs $25, with an additional $25 per night for camping. Campers crossing back into the United States should carry a passport or equivalent ID. Mishawn M. notes that the gardens alone took two nights to begin to explore. Nearby, School Section Lake Wildlife Refuge and Pelican Sandy Recreation Area provide additional camping in the region. This campground works best for RV travelers with full hookup needs or tent campers who want tree cover and structured sites in a cross-border setting.
