Camping in North Dakota
65 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.
The badlands around Medora come as a shock after hours of flat prairie. In Theodore Roosevelt National Park, bison wander the road, prairie dog towns cover the flats, and a band of wild horses lives in the hills. The campgrounds around Medora put you right at the edge of it.
The park's quieter north unit is near Watford City, with campgrounds in the national grassland nearby. Lake Sakakawea, behind Garrison Dam near Pick City, is a huge reservoir with campgrounds and walleye fishing along the shore, and Lake Ashtabula near Sibley has Corps campgrounds in the east. Summers are short and winds are strong, so stake everything down.

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
