Within the Sakakawea Recreation Area, Tobacco Garden Rec Area operates as three distinct camping sections managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Campers can access the site by both boat and vehicle, though pets are not permitted. The campground provides electric hookups but lacks water hookups at individual sites, with centralized drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station available.
The facility includes a camp store, restaurant, and boat landing positioned near the lake. Reviewers note the open spacing between sites and highlight sunset viewing opportunities. For additional camping options in the region, visitors can explore places to camp near Sakakawea Recreation Area. Consider bringing extra water containers since individual site hookups are limited to electricity only.
