We stay every time we come thru ND for an overnight. The BBQ ribs are the best I’ve ever had! That’s why we always overnight there.

Stayed for 3 days. Nice store. Great lil museum attached. Got to feed the Buffalo. Enjoyed the Rib special at the Bar & Grill upstairs. Enjoyed our time in the campground. Lots to do locally.

I called about 1 week in advance, we needed two spot 30 and 50 amp. They were able to get us both in. We stayed for 5.5 months! The owner is helpful and nice. Front dest ladies are friendly. Sites are fairly close together, however it is very affordable! Laundry/bath house I don't recommend.

The shower house is horrible. Pictures will be posted..... 2 out of 3 toilets and the urinal, have water all over the floors with feces...... Customers have been plunging them on their own just to have a place to use the restroom. It is not just once in a while either. The shower floors have broken boards and rusty screws protruding. You will not only need shower shoes but you will definitely want them after looking at the place. Out of the last week they have NEVER cleaned it and they sure don't worry about the overflowing facilities.

OK for one night. We stated here one night during a 2 1/2 RV trip visiting friends and family. Fairly small, parking lot type of sites. The building with bathrooms, showers and laundry was old and not in great condition. The shower floors have wood slabs - my husband said some broken in mens shower. The bathroom/showers were clean and had adequate hot water so met our needs. Onsite restaurant, food, drinks and service were great.
