Within the Sakakawea Recreation Area, Parshall Bay Rec Area operates as an Army Corps of Engineers campground along the shores of Lake Sakakawea. The facility runs from mid-May through mid-September and accommodates big rigs with drinking water and dump station access. Pets are not permitted at this location.
The campground sits near the lake with drive-in access for RVs and trailers. Fishing represents the primary activity, taking advantage of the lakeside setting. Mountrail County Parshall Bay Recreation Area operates less than a mile east as an alternative. The seasonal operation and pet restriction make this spot work best for RV travelers planning spring through early fall lake fishing trips.
