Basic city campground in Wahpeton ND

This city campground has a handful of nice flat sites that are next to the river in town. Close to NDSCS for those in town for the college. The sites feature blacktop. There is some road noise from several hundred feet away.

It is small and designed for tent campers

There's a short row of camp spots in the sun for campers. Seems like a good portion of it is full of people who are here all the time. The rest of the campers are in the back of their truck, which i'm not opposed to, but they're in pretty tough shape and very old. I will say this is one of the least safe places. I have felt in North Dakota.
