Unspoiled vistas, brilliant night skies, and vast wildlife are waiting to be discovered at the Dakota Prairie Grasslands. Uniquely laid out, the grasslands are actually individual areas dispersed throughout the state, so you can throw a dart at the map and choose! The antelope laden tallgrass prairie of the Sheyenne National Grassland is wildly different than the badlands of the Little Missouri Grasslands, but we guarantee the variety, scenery, and killer camping at each is reason enough to visit them all! Try the groovy Denbigh Experimental Forest, horseback riding in the Grand River National Grassland, or coyote spotting at sunset at Buffalo Gap. You seriously can’t have a bad time here, it’s impossible. The friendly rangers, down home feel, and stunning sunsets all over the Dakota Grasslands will leave you wondering what took you so long to make it out to these one of a kind adventures.

This is a fabulous place to camp! Christina is a gracious and accommodating host. You can park a small trailer or tent right alongside the river or a larger rig back in the trees by the berm. 50&30 amp available, as well as water. Such a gorgeous view of the sunset over the Missouri! My dogs were approved by her Corgis and got to romp off-leash with them. Can’t say enough good things about this beautiful property!

We enjoyed our stay but campers need to be aware that the site is in essentially a gravel parking lot. There is a grassy area between the rows which is nice. The sewer pipe in site 15 is too tall to hook up the hose for drainage. We pulled our camper to site 21 as we were leaving to drain our water tanks. All said, we would stay there again.

Where to go
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
If you travel through North Dakota, stop to experience Theodore Roosevelt National Park, a treasure that should be high on the list of every national park enthusiast. The badlands are stunning with unique geological features, canyons, water, trails, and some of America’s most incredible native wildlife. The trail systems are some of the best in the country, and mountain bikers will find extensive single track. Hiking trails and scenic drives make it possible to catch the park’s best views from additional vantage points.
Grahams Island State Park
With nearly 1,000 acres on its lakeshore, Devil’s Lake is recognized as one of the best fisheries in the state and a hot spot for anglers visiting to compete in tournaments. The boat ramps make it an ideal lake for campers bringing watercraft, while the Grahams Lake campground has both primitive sites and others with full hookups, bathroom access, and potable water. Trail systems are perfect for hiking through the woods and along the lakeshore.
Sully Creek State Park
On the Little Missouri River south of Medora, Sully Creek State Park combines rivers and cliffs in a dramatic Badlands scene. The river flows rise during spring, when visitors come to canoe through the scenic canyons and bottomlands. Exploring the trails on foot or horseback are also popular here. Situated just outside of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the Sully Creek campground is perfect for exploring the wider area.
Turtle River State Park
Staying on theme with the excellent range of state parks in North Dakota, this one is located near the Minnesota border, where Grand Forks and the small community of Arvilla serve as easy starting points. The Turtle River offers great trout fishing throughout summer and fall, while 11 park trails are managed for hiking and biking during summer and cross-country skiing in winter. Primitive Turtle Creek campsites are abundant, and others feature space for groups or electricity and water hookups. Overall, this is an idyllic park in the eastern part of the state.
When to go
North Dakota has four seasons of fun and visiting really depends on your specific desires. Late spring is often nice and mellow with quiet parks to visit, and as summer arrives, the heat and humidity are elevated but the cold-water lakes and rivers offer refuge. Summer hiking, biking, and boating make for a ton of camping fun in North Dakota. Fall might be the best season to visit, especially for hunters, but by the time winter arrives, the state is bitterly cold, which draws those looking for cross-country skiing and snowboarding.
