I travel up to Bismarck every year and really enjoy stopping here for a week. Great internet, shore fishing, and walking around paths. Such a great park and Im usually the only one there during the week. I dont think theres better sunrise and sunsets anywhere.

We were glad when we got there that water was available; Even if not at the site. Some information being more obvious would have been nice. Having a period on the description for facility information is just lazy. The campground was fine,Simple some shade, 50Amp was fantastic. The road work wasnt the camps issue, just a local challenge. My complaint is the last of obvious information to make a decision on a an unfamiliar camp.

Great little site, peaceful and quiet for this time of year. 13 lined squirrels put on a show daily. Enjoyed Bismarck’s Buckspot Junction.

I enjoy staying here at Hazleton and down the way at Beaver Creek. weekends there’s a crowd in the electric sites, weekdays there’s usually just me. I just like to walk around and now and then try fishing the lake. Over in Linton there’s a butcher shop next to the market - great sirloin cuts for the grill. Nice little bar and grill up the road at Beaver Creek with Friday night specials.

We were there in the middle of the week. We had one other fellow camper with us. The campground was clean and manicured. Nice playground for children.

Nice facility but in the heat of summer, no shade.
@JamesN8387586 · Camped on Sep 17, 2021 at Campsite #7
We we traveling on I94 and wanted a campground off the highway. This location is a little off the highway but worth it. Very quite. Level sites. We selected a site with 30/50 AmpPower/Water facing the lake/river. Vault toilets only. Potable water was available. Close to boat ramp and fishing access.

Nice, clean, and quiet campground. Only one complaint being unless you have a boat, there isn’t really any place to fish. I was hoping since it is right next to the river there would be a spot or two to throw a line in and fish, but after searching…. Couldn’t find any such place

quiet relaxing
@BruceG729 · Camped on Aug 23, 2021 at Campsite #5
We visited on a Monday, so there were few people (actually there was only one other rig). It was nice and quiet. Need to plan ahead as there is only electricity. However, it worked well and we had no problems.
@JerryS602 · Camped on Jul 30, 2021 at Campsite #10
Very nice campground. Wish it had a dump station
@PennyV937 · Camped on Jul 30, 2021 at Campsite #9
Wide open field with electric sites. Great for a short term stay.
@KevinL526 · Camped on Jul 17, 2021 at Campsite #9
Very nice campground near Bismarck, ND. We had a spot on the lake and enjoyed the sunset. Facilities were close by and usable. Sadly, didn't get to explore everything but enjoyed what we saw.
@JimK655 · Camped on Jul 9, 2021 at Campsite #1
Every time we get the odd numbered spots on the electric side we end up with mice in our camper!!
@SandyC429 · Camped on Jul 5, 2021 at Campsite #7
Nice campground with a slight lake view from our spot #7. We were there during the week so it was very quiet. Had electric with water available on site. Campground was well maintained.
@RickM574 · Camped on Jun 21, 2021 at Campsite #2
We enjoyed the mid week quiet and tranquil setting
@ElizabethM154 · Camped on Jun 19, 2021 at Campsite #16
Open field site provided very little shelter from the massive storm. Bathrooms were not close. There was a simple playground that the kids enjoyed. Other guests were all very quiet.
@GWENR374 · Camped on May 28, 2021 at Campsite #5
Showers would be great!!!
@JeffV133 · Camped on May 14, 2021 at Campsite #12
No dump station available. Too loud after 10 pm. Should be monitored ~ the loud folks were across the loop, very disrespectful. Very loud music. Not right.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
