Sitting alongside a small lake in Ray, North Dakota, Kota Ray Dam is a county-managed campground with electric hookups, a swimming beach, picnic shelters, and a dump station. Sites on the hilltop loop tend to be more level than those near the water. The access road mixes patched tar and gravel, so larger rigs should approach slowly. Fishing for perch and other species draws repeat visitors, and the lake accommodates kayaks and paddleboards. Campers interested in camping near Epping will find this one of the more water-focused options in the area. Sites book up on summer weekends, so arriving early or confirming reservations in advance is worthwhile.
