About Eggerts Landing

Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Ashtabula, Eggerts Landing Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its enchanting blend of dense woodland privacy and endless water adventures. As the crown jewel of Lake Ashtabula's camping destinations, this beloved retreat offers visitors the perfect escape into nature's embrace, where towering trees create natural sanctuaries for each campsite and the sparkling waters promise unforgettable days of fishing, boating, and swimming beneath North Dakota's expansive skies.

Eggerts Landing provides a mix of camping accommodations, including tent, RV, and group sites. "Sites are clean and spacious" (Christopher S.) and "nice SP for the money" describes the overall quality of camping.

Historical SignificanceStep into a landscape shaped by both human ingenuity and ancient tradition at Lake Ashtabula, born from the construction of Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River in 1944. The lake carries the poetic name 'Ashtabula,' meaning 'Fish River' in Native American language—a testament to the abundant aquatic life that has drawn people to these waters for generations. This rich fishing heritage continues today, connecting modern visitors to the timeless relationship between people and this bountiful waterway.

Weather and SeasonsExperience the gentle rhythms of North Dakota's seasons at Eggerts Landing, where moderate summer temperatures create ideal conditions for lakeside adventures and starlit evenings around the campfire. As autumn paints the forest in brilliant hues, the campground transforms into a photographer's paradise. When winter's crystalline blanket arrives, the frozen lake becomes a wonderland for ice fishing enthusiasts, drawing devoted anglers to test their skills on the hard water. Throughout the year, enjoy predominantly dry conditions with refreshing breezes that whisper through the trees.

ElevationThe campground rests at a comfortable prairie elevation, where the land gently meets the water's edge, creating perfect vantage points for spectacular sunrises and sunsets over Lake Ashtabula.

Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a wilderness wonderland where ancient forests meet prairie waters, creating a sanctuary for both wildlife and weary travelers. The campground's thick canopy of mature trees provides cooling shade and natural privacy, while the surrounding prairie potholes region attracts a magnificent parade of migratory birds. Watch in awe as majestic white pelicans glide across the lake's surface, their graceful forms reflected in the calm waters. From dawn's first light illuminating the forest floor to evening's golden glow dancing on the waves, every moment at Eggerts Landing offers a new natural masterpiece.

Geological RegionDiscover the fascinating landscape of North Dakota's prairie potholes region, where ancient glaciers carved a mosaic of lakes and wetlands that define this unique ecosystem. Eggerts Landing sits within this geological wonderland, where millennia of natural forces created the perfect setting for outdoor recreation. The heavily wooded areas surrounding the campground stand in beautiful contrast to the open prairie, offering visitors a diverse landscape that showcases the region's rich natural heritage and provides both shelter and scenic beauty throughout your stay.
