RV camping near Bismarck

·

If you’re rolling into Bismarck with an RV, you’ve got over 220 campsites to choose from—each set up for rigs, not tents. Prices start at $48 a night, and most sites land around that mark. Park up and plug in; water and electricity hookups are standard, and big rigs fit without a fuss. You’ll spot deer at dawn, hike prairie trails, or hit the snow when winter comes. RVers around here know the drill: level ground, no-nonsense facilities, and wide-open skies. This isn’t just a stopover; it’s a base for wildlife-watching and exploring the Dakota grasslands.
