Lindenwood Campground

Camped here due to my son having a swim meet in Fargo and we were going to tack on camping in Glacier National Park after this.  So decided to camp in Fargo.  This camp is in a public park next to the river.  The park is big and appears to be well utilized by the public.  We stayed in the B loop which is by the river.  The A loop is basically a parking lot next to the bath house, and it seems like there was very little room between campers/ really packed them in there- would suffice for a night passing through.  The B loop sites were also small with little room between neighbors and nothing in between sites, no trees.  On the weekend there were people cutting through our site to fish the river which made us a bit nervous since we had our two kids with us and also worried about theft.  There was significant noise from the nearby interstate (trucks, cars, and frequent sirens from police) and bright lights shining which made it hard for us to sleep.  

The bathrooms and showers were adequate and fairly clean.  Saw the occasional local homeless person come utilize the facility which also made us nervous.  Nothing ever happened but could be safety issue with children.  

There was rental bikes and canoes which was fun for the kids, as well as fishing- only caught one catfish but was fun anyway.  There was firewood for sale and snacks available for purchase if needed.  

Cost was a bit steep at $30 - we use a tent.  Most people were in campers.  Each site had water and electric though which was convenient.  Not high in our list to return to but met our needs and we had a good time overall.  

Urban camping 

Let me start off by saying, this is a picturesque park and campground located in the heart of Fargo with plenty of trails and paths to go around! we were in the A lot. our spot was pretty spacious, but a lot of the spots in this area were pretty tight. the other downside was the proximity to the interstate. this made for a pretty noticeable drone of vehicles. Would recommend staying in the B lot, spots are spaced apart more, facing the river, and are further away from the Interstate. will definitely be back, just in a different part of the campground.

some lots are better than others

2 great playgrounds nearby for the kiddos. We were on site B9 and it was spacious. However the road noise from the freeway was pretty loud. 

Nice campground, great for families 

Snagged a spot here for an overnight visit to Fargo. 

Super friendly staff and a nice spot right along the Red River. 

Great for families too because it is right in the middle of a city park!

Convenient for Exploring Fargo

We wanted to explore the cool town of Fargo, but it was too hot to stay at one of the free parking options in town, so this campground just outside of town would have been perfect. Per the online reservation system, there was only one spot left, B10, so we drove over to the park to snag it. Luckily the ranger in the office advised us that we may want to check it out first before paying for it, because of the odd shape. And she was right. We probably could have fit, if we backed up far enough, but the slope of the site was just way, way too steep. Pretty much all of the sites here at this campground were just too steep to be able for us to get comfortable in our 26ft class c. There was a class c with its front end completely on the lifts and the front tires about 2 ft in the air. 

  

So, sadly we passed and kept moving. It seems like a really nice campground, very green, nice park like setting. There’s a bike rental, a pond, a huge playground, just a lot of fun things to do with the family. Some of the sites share a little entry driveway so watch for that if you want to camp with friends, or if you want to avoid being overly close to a neighbor.

Nice place, close to town

The convenience and price can’t be beat.  For $35 a nice asphalt pad, big grassy site right on the river.  Sure there’s some road noise but $35!  Very clean bathrooms that are for the overnight campers only, big playground, ball fields, plenty of space to roam and walk. A beautiful city park. We were in town the same night as a street fair down town so we took an $8 Uber and had a great time shopping hundreds of local vendors and food trucks.  Pretty awesome Fargo experience all around. 

Very nice & convenient 

We opted for what the staff person told us were more level sites instead of those overlooking the river.  Although our site was level, the spaces were closer together.  Fine for an overnight stay.  Have not checked the bathroom facilities yet, but they do stay locked, a plus.


Picturesque 

This would be a decent campground if it wasn’t for the other city park visitors in the camping area. It’s supposed to be for registered campers only but they allow non campers to fish the river and they abuse that privilege and park their vehicles in front of campers and some even set up a bbq in vacant campsites. There were a couple of teens selling chips and walking through campsites.
We felt uneasy about non campers wandering around
Most sites are uneven, it’s ok for a one nighter 

It’s convenient 

Lovely campground with sites along the river and in an area closer to the office and showers.   That area is rather tight, but adequate.  

  

Good walking trails.
