The best dog-friendly camping in North Dakota

Name: North Dakota
Address: North Dakota
Rating: 4.8615

Whether you're hiking through the Badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, kayaking through the Pembina Gorge, or heading to the lake in North Dakota's "walleye capital" at Fort Stevenson State Park—camping is always more fun if the whole family can come along. Pets are permitted at all North Dakota state parks and campgrounds, so four-legged campers can also enjoy popular spots like Lake Metigoshe State Park, Cross Ranch State Park, and Lake Sakakawea State Park. You'll need to keep your dog on a six-foot leash and stay away from swimming areas, but most state parks also provide dog parks or off-leash areas where Fido can let off some steam. Dog-friendly hikes are enjoyable throughout the state, but our favorite is the North Country National Scenic Trail—475 miles of the epic route passes through North Dakota, accessible from Fort Ransom State Park and Lake Ashtabula.

Small RV park that is very quiet and low key. Jason the owner is very friendly and can help if you have an issue with your RV. This is a great place to camp if you’re going to Theodore Roosevelt NP, only 30 minutes away.

Easy area to find. Only a 30minute drive to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Easy set up process. No bath house available though or amenities. The spots are dirt/grass. The view is beautiful of the sky. If you need a stop for the night, it works.

Jason and Angela, the camp hosts, came by to introduce themselves and see if we needed any assistance. We ended up chatting for quite awhile. Nice people. Loved the campground as it is totally grass which kept the dirt down, a big plus with 2 dogs. It was quiet and close to Dickinson due grocery shopping and close to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. We would stay there again if we're in the area!
