Little Yellowstone County Park sits along the Sheyenne River National Scenic Byway in southeastern North Dakota, operated by Barnes County as part of their recreation system. The campground spreads across approximately 40 sites, with both electric hookups and primitive options available for tent and RV camping from May through October.
Campers consistently mention the creek running through the property, where children spend hours playing in the shallow water. The park divides into distinct sections, with Matthew G. noting visitors should "don't miss the back, more private section" for those seeking solitude. Several bridges cross the waterway, connecting different camping areas and walking trails that wind through the wooded sections.
The facility provides vault toilets, potable water, and a dump station, though no shower facilities exist on-site. Day-use amenities include soccer fields, a playground, and half-court basketball, plus two group shelters for gatherings. Road noise from the surprisingly busy highway affects some sites, while others closer to the water offer more natural sounds. The North Country Trail passes directly through the property, making this a convenient stop for long-distance hikers.
Electric sites cost around $20 per night, with primitive camping available at lower rates. Several nearby options include Fort Ransom State Park Campground and Barnes County Park Clausen Springs Recreation Area for campers exploring the region's county park system.
