Pelican Point Campground
Overview
Overview
Situated in the rolling plains of the Upper Midwest, Pelican Point Campground in Jamestown, North Dakota offers a distinct prairie camping experience along regional waterways. Travelers steering their rigs through Stutsman County will find this location provides a straightforward basecamp for exploring the James River valley and the surrounding high-plains landscape. The setting emphasizes quiet outdoor surroundings typical of the region.
Location & Surroundings
Approaching via Interstate 94 or U.S. Route 52, drivers navigate a landscape defined by glacial drift prairies, scattered wetlands, and vast skies. The climate features warm summers and brisk shoulder seasons, making seasonal awareness vital for road-trippers. Jamestown sits at the confluence of the James River and Pipestem Creek, creating a natural corridor that travelers pass through when traversing central North Dakota between Fargo and Bismarck.
Amenities & Park Features
Specific on-site infrastructure details remain unverified by public records beyond what the property name and regional geography suggest. Campers should contact the management directly to verify essential logistical points. When planning a stay, inquire specifically about hookup types, site dimensions, pull-through availability, potable water access, and waste station locations before arrival to ensure your specific RV setup is properly accommodated.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The local area features several notable stops for travelers venturing out from their rigs. Visitors frequently tour the nearby Frontier Fort historical complex, view the towering World's Largest Buffalo monument, or observe North American bison roaming at the local wildlife refuge. Water enthusiasts often head to the Jamestown Reservoir or Pipestem Lake areas for boating, fishing, and shoreline walking opportunities within a short drive of town.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits cross-country road-trippers traveling along the Interstate 94 corridor who need a regional stopping point between major metropolitan hubs. It also appeals to anglers and prairie explorers seeking easy access to local reservoirs and historical landmarks. Travelers looking for a quieter, geography-focused stay rather than a resort-style experience will find this setting aligns well with their travel style.

Unlevel site, very buggy, Noisy...trashy campground! Would not stay here again! Very disappointed 😞

We stayed 1 night on September 1st (Labor Day). The campground was pretty much empty. The site we were supposed to stay at looked like it was partially washed out and very uneven. I tried calling the phone number to request to move to a different site but there was no answer, and no one ever called us back, so we moved to a more level site. That site was near a trash bin that was overflowing and there was food stuck to the picnic table. Needless to say, the flies were overwhelming, so we moved yet again. The 3rd site was much better. The main restroom/shower room was in need of a good cleaning.

Very good camping spot! With Lazy Fish restaurant and bar.....live music Friday nights! Inflatables for the kids on some weekends. Nice swimming area.

This is a great campground. The majority of camp spots are close to the water and playground with water and electric hookups for campers. The grounds are well maintained and most of the other campers there were very polite over labor day weekend. There is a small bar/restaurant with friendly staff and good service. My only complaint would be that it gets extremely dark at night as there are few lights along the path through the campground. Bring a flashlight.
