The best dog-friendly camping in North Dakota

Name: North Dakota
Address: North Dakota
Rating: 4.891

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.

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 really enjoyed our stay at American RV Park. We would absolutely stay here again if we’re ever traveling through. Jason and Angela were wonderful and our pull through spot was wide and grassy. We had a tire issue on our fifth wheel while we were there and Jason came by to look at it and provided a recommendation on where to take it to get it looked at. In addition to that, they held our spot just in case we needed to return while waiting for a part for it. Thankfully we were able to continue on the road but we were so grateful for their help, hospitality and great location! We stayed here to explore the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. it was a perfect location for it. We don’t love being in the middle of the touristy spots so this worked perfectly for us. The view was fantastic! The only possible concern would be if you are a light sleeper, it is right next to a pretty active railroad. However, we loved it! We got to see a train carrying windmill blades which was pretty cool!

Great RV park for exploring Teddy Roosevelt Nat'l Park, Medora, and the Enchanted Hwy. Site was mostly level, 50amp electric was strong, good water pressure, & spacious. Jason and Angela are great hosts and even helped a neighbor with his camper issue. Park is small and clean, grass mowed, and far enough off of I94 that there is no hwy noise. There are RR tracks thru town, so you will hear the trains from time to time. When back thru the area, we will definitely stay again, but will try to get sites 8 or 12 for an unobstructed view to the south.
