Fort Buford State Historic Site
20. Fort Buford State Historic Site
Williston, ND
Fort Buford State Historic Site stands out as a remarkable preservation of a significant frontier military post, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Established in 1866 at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, Fort Buford served as a crucial supply depot for military operations in the region. Today, the site features original structures, including a stone powder magazine, the post cemetery, and a large officers' quarters building that now operates as a museum.
Situated near modern-day Williston, Fort Buford was one of several military installations created to safeguard the overland and river routes utilized by immigrants heading westward. For twenty-nine years, it played a vital role as a protector on the northern plains. The fort is perhaps most famously known as the location where the renowned Hunkpapa Sioux leader, Sitting Bull, surrendered in 1881, marking a significant moment in American history.
Visitors to Fort Buford can explore its rich history while enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. The area offers various outdoor activities, including hiking and fishing, with nearby attractions such as scenic rivers and lush landscapes.

This space was great, though a little hard to find in the dark — glad I went by during the day. If I had known I would be out so late the night of my stay, I probably would’ve found a truck stop to sleep a few hours at instead.
Because I caught a sunset and stargazing in the north unit and a sunrise in the south, I was only here for a few hours. I’m hoping I didn’t disturb anyone when I accidentally set my car alarm off in the wee hours.
It was great to know I had a place to stay and, especially if you’re in an RV, this is a great spot.

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.
