Nice place to stay if you have a totally contained RV. Water is close and so is the dump station. They have a public shower and restrooms that are close to you. It is a 20 minute drive to the closes little town Walford and Bismarck is 45 minutes away. Come prepared and you and your pets and children can enjoy the playground area and the walks along the Missouri River.

Nice campground and well maintained! Beautiful sunrise over the river. Showers are in the office building.

My favorite ND state park campground. My only complaint is they took the kayak dock out 2 or 3 years ago and it doesn't look like it is ever going to be put back in.

Was there for the bluegrass festival. Beautiful area full of cottonwood trees. The park staff were friendly, helpful and patient. The visitor center/park office was nice and cool, big and had activities (it was 97 and humid outside). Nice areas for camping and picnic tables. The little amphitheater was nice. Paths were nice and many were cement. Can't wait to go back and stay in one of the cabins or yurts. Update for 6/25 it is still awesome, beautiful, and it was cooler this year. Beautiful drive from Bismarck and just 40 minutes.

We enjoying staying in their cabins in the fall & winter season! Our most recent stay was in the York cabin. Although it is a little more spendy than the others, we really enjoyed the extra amenities - water, dishes, bathroom, cooking utensils etc. We will definitely stay again!

Informative, helpful and kind rangers (Jessie and Terry). Beautiful visitor center with interactive activities for the kids, great gift shop, cross country ski/snowshoe rentals…even hot cocoa! I rented the art link cabin for the weekend-beautiful!

We did the Ma-Ak-Oti hiking trail for the first time today (5.3 miles total according to my smart watch) . The trail is wide enough for 2 people to walk side by side for the majority of the distance. There were a few short sections with stairs and steeper hills, but overall it wasn't overly strenuous. The views of the river were great! We just followed the mowed trail, there are not a lot of signs pointing you along the way.
