Old Settlers Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Swimming, disc golf, and river access give Old Settlers Park a range of activities for a county campground in Burlington, North Dakota. Situated along the river, the park includes a grassy field, a small playground, a pavilion, and a disc golf course. Sites are spacious across the board, and tent sites occupy a separate area from RV hookups, which gives tent campers a degree of separation from the rest of the park. A 37-foot fifth wheel has been confirmed to fit, though one reviewer cautions against turning at the first gate: look for the faded sign further in and turn left.

The bathrooms are a notable feature. Cleaned and restocked daily, they include showers in a heated facility. The shower building sits at some distance from the campsites, so plan for a walk. Train tracks run a couple hundred yards from the campground, and road noise is also present at both tent and RV sites, so light sleepers should factor that in before booking.

Crowd levels run low, especially in early fall. Cell coverage has been mentioned as inconsistent by multiple visitors. Police patrol the park regularly throughout the day. Campers planning a longer stay in the region can explore places to camp near Minot or check out nearby options like Rough Rider Campground and Roughrider RV Resort for comparison. The park is open May 1 through mid-October, with reservations available.

Many campers appreciated the well-maintained facilities and exceptionally clean bathrooms with quality amenities. The campground offers good family features and spacious sites, though train and road noise may affect light sleepers.

Long walk to the bathroom

This is a clean little campground with easy access to US-2. It has free showers but it’s in the only bathroom which is a long walk from the camping sites.

Great price and sites

I love county and city parks. They are always such a great value. This one does not disappoint. Nice electric and water hookups (no sanitation services). Sites are all large. Tent sites are nicest as they are away from road. Tent sites are in separate area from rv sites. Expect road and rail noise at both.

Beautiful and off the beaten path

I will definitely be returning here on my next trip through the area. The only issue that I had was the noise from the construction across the river.

Paid city park campground

Just as an update. Very nice campground some sites have shade different times of day. No problem getting our 37 ft 5er in the park. Oh do not turn in the first park gate! Go on passed it to the faded sign and turn left to the park. Water spigot just past the white building. 30/50 service.

Small and cute, clean bathrooms

We stayed 3 nights in early September, Fri-Sun. I was a bit surprised at how few people were there - 2 or 3 long campers and we were the only tent campers. It was nice for privacy but felt a little eerie at times. That being said it was nicely maintained and I have to mention the bathrooms are replenished and cleaned daily and fully stocked with CHARMIN ULTRA toilet paper which is an absolute luxury at a simple campground lol. The showers are also pretty nice and the facility is heated. So appreciated. It has a little pavilion, a playground, “beach”, a couple cute bridges, a big grassy field for stargazing or throwing the ball around, a disc golf course, and of course you’re right on the river which is cool. Swimming is allowed at your own risk. I’m giving it five stars mostly for how well kept the bathrooms were, but it did feel a little desolate at times. I get it’s the end of camping season though and it was a little cold at night so that’s probably why. There are a few stray cats and dogs wandering about at times. We are good sleepers and this didn’t bother us much but there are heavily trafficked train tracks a couple hundred yards away from the campground so if you are a light sleeper or are bothered by trains this might not be the place for you. Umm all in all it’s a cute and peaceful little park that made a nice home for a few nights. It’s patrolled by police throughout the day too. We’d probably stay there again if we ever happen to go to Minot. Oh! There’s a decent North Dakota style winery (sweet fruit wines) a couple miles down the road with a lovely view and even some hikes. Worth a visit - Pointe of View. Ok, done now I promise.
