Discover Top RV Parks & Campgrounds in North Dakota
Bordering Canada in the north-central region of the United States, North Dakota is one of the country’s most sparsely populated states. It sprawls across the Great Plains and is dotted with rural farms and ranches while the capital, Bismarck, lies in the state’s geographical heart.
After being inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years, the French-Canadian trader Pierre Gaultier arrived on an exploration in 1738. But it wasn’t until the late 19th century when railroads were constructed in the region that European Americans began to settle here, and North Dakota joined the Union (along with South Dakota) in 1889.
North Dakota lies roughly equal distance between the North Pole and the Equator, with hot, subtropical summers and cold winters. There’s a great choice of RV campgrounds in North Dakota for those wanting to discover its rich Native American history and fascinating museums, as well as stunning natural areas like Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
RV Camping in North Dakota
Book an RV rental in Bismarck and camp at the Bismarck KOA. Its full-hookup sites are within easy access to the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum and the Dakota Zoo. It features a heated swimming pool and a variety of sporting facilities and is just a short drive from the Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Alternatively, you can base yourself at one of the 82 modern campsites within Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, which lies just across the Missouri River from Bismarck.
If you drive northeast from Bismarck, you’ll eventually arrive at Grahams Island State Park, which occupies an island in the middle of Devils Lake. There are several full-hookup sites to choose from, a dump station, and a fish cleaning station, as well as a plethora of water-based pursuits right on your doorstep. Continue heading northeast to Icelandic State Park and the popular fishing spot of Lake Renwick, with more than 130 water/electric sites within the park where anglers can base themselves.
Northwest of Bismarck lies the Roughrider Campground, which is a good option for campers wanting to visit the Roosevelt Park Zoo or the Dakota Territory Air Museum. The spacious RV sites offer scenic views of the adjacent lake while all the amenities, supermarkets, and restaurants of Minot are just a short drive away.
Campers wanting to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park or the Little Missouri National Grassland can book a campsite at North Park Campground, a pet-friendly RV park near Dickinson. It’s convenient for visiting the Dickinson Dinosaur Museum and the Dickinson State University Art Gallery, as well as the charming town of Medora. There are also two campgrounds in Theodore Roosevelt National Park with primitive (no-hookup) sites for those who want to be in the heart of this wilderness area.
In the far east of the state along the border with Minnesota is the storied city of Fargo, which provided a setting for the famous movie and TV series and is home to several fine museums. There are plenty of Fargo RV campgrounds, including the Lindenwood Campground and the Red River Valley Fair Campground, just west of the city.
Campers who are driving from Bismarck to Fargo may want to stay at the Jamestown Campground, a seasonal North Dakota RV park that operates from May to October. Aside from full-hookup sites and a children’s playground, it’s just a short drive from the National Buffalo Museum and the open-air displays of the Frontier Village.
Whether you want to explore the legendary streets of Fargo or get lost in the state’s vast landscapes, book a camper rental in North Dakota and start planning your adventure to the Roughrider State.
