Sakakawea Park

Sitting on the banks of the Knife River in Stanton, Sakakawea Park is a municipally managed campground that draws visitors exploring this stretch of central North Dakota. The park has 10 level RV sites with concrete pads, water and electric hookups priced at $20 per night, plus a handful of primitive spots at $10. Sites are large, with grassy areas alongside each one.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. The bathrooms are well-maintained, and the grounds include a large playground and a basketball court. One practical note: the dump station is not located within the park itself but in town near the bank. Campers report the sites are quiet, which makes sense given the small-town setting.

The Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site is within two miles, and reviewers note it works well as a base for visiting those trails. Biking between the campground and the historic site is feasible, though driving back out to the main road is required to reach the trailheads directly. c G. sums up the experience concisely: "Large playground, clean bathrooms. Cheap." Those looking at campgrounds around Stanton will find a few other options in the area, including Knife River Mobile Home & RV Park less than a mile away.

Sakakawea Park is a good match for RV travelers who want hookups at a low nightly rate and plan to spend time at nearby historic sites.
