SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Managed by the Army Corps of Engineers within Sakakawea Recreation Area, Van Hook Area sits along Lake Sakakawea near New Town, North Dakota. Most sites have electric hookups, though none include water connections. The beach is notably shallow for a long stretch, making it a practical choice for families with young children. A small on-site camp store carries fishing supplies, basic camping gear, and convenience items. Anglers and families planning a summer visit should note that sites fill during peak season, so early arrival is advisable.
