If you’re looking for fun on the water in North Dakota, then Lake Sakakawea State Park should be on your camping shortlist. The park is next to the Garrison Dam, on the southern shore of the lake, and there are oodles of water-recreation opportunities, with the facilities to support it. There’s a full-service marina, boat storage, and two sizable boat ramps (they’re near the best salmon fishing on the entire lake, too!). It’s no surprise that there’s so much out here—the lake is one of the three largest man-made reservoirs in the entire U.S. You’re bound to want to stay for a night (or more), and you can cozy up in one of two cabins, or at the campground.
