This 490-acre state park sits along the Missouri River about 15 miles east of Williston, offering 81 campsites with electric hookups and modern facilities. The campground fills up during hunting season and summer weekends, but weekdays are usually quiet. Cottonwoods provide decent shade, and the Missouri River access makes it popular with anglers and boaters.
The park stays open year-round, though water is shut off from October to April. It’s a solid base camp for overlanders running the Bakken oil field routes or exploring the Missouri River breaks country. The entrance road is paved, and sites can handle big rigs.
