7 nights at American RV Park: Long & Short Term

We loved staying at American RV park in South Heart ND! Jason and Angela are the best hosts. This brand new campground is easy to set up in. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We stayed for 6 days exploring the Badlands in Roosevelt NP. We highly recommend American RV park.

2 nights at American RV Park: Long & Short Term

This is a lovely spot! Coordinates got me there with no issues, spots are clearly labeled, everything worked just fine. The hosts are easy to communicate with and were super accommodating. The site itself is in a small town, and I had an unobstructed view of rolling farm fields. Would stay here again. 👍🏼

2 nights at American RV Park: Long & Short Term

We had a great stay at American RV Park! The owners were incredibly nice and we felt very welcome. The location was great, super close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park! The site was level, clean and very quiet. Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone traveling through the area!

1 night at American RV Park: Long & Short Term

This site in South Heart is about 3-4 miles south of the Interstate. There are restaurants about 4-5 miles east on the Interstate as well or some local establishments nearby. This is a clean park, Jason took care of our needs and was very accommodating. You are next to a railroad track but no trains came through at night and we had a full hookup. Safe location and we were comfortable. There are some full time residents but no barking dogs and everyone was respectful of residents and we would stay there again as it was convenient and great roads in and out.

6 nights at American RV Park: Long & Short Term

This was a great, small campground close to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Its a no frills campgrounds but the hosts are really nice and the spots have full hookups and its easy to get to off of the highway. Can be windy at times and a train goes by once in a while but its still a nice stay! Also its about 15 minutes to Dickinson if you need to go to town.

1 night at Ackerman Valley - RV/Camper Parking

I love that it is not too far from the lake. It was also really easy to get to

Mellow Moose Campground

50 sites · RVs, Tents9 acres · Minot, ND

Beautiful wooded sites create a shaded and cozy camping experience! We are a brand new campground opening in the Summer of 2023, so more amenities will become available as the summer progresses. We are excited to announce we are starting to open our tent sites. These sites have electricity. Camper vans and truck-mounted campers can fit in some of these sites. Due to the wooded nature of the site, travel trailers over 35 feet long will have difficulty moving through the campground. I would be happy to chat if you have any questions about whether your unit will fit in the campground. Note: - The Mellow Moose Campground is currently under construction. Follow our progress on social media! - The Bison Plant Trail is a hiking and biking trail for the whole family! It is located nearby and popular all year long. Also, it's a great spot for birding! - Reservations are now being accepted. Mellow Moose Campground has 3 loops. Sites 1-19 are mostly back-in RV sites. Sites 20-39 are tent sites; while pick-up campers and sprinter vans are welcome, there are no pull-behind trailers allowed on these sites. Sites 41-48 are mostly pull-through RV sites.

Dog-friendly camping in North Dakota guide

Overview

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.
