North Dakota's group camping options put your gathering in some of the least-crowded public lands in the country — from the Badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park to the shores of Lake Sakakawea, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. Whether you're organizing a Missouri River fishing reunion, an equestrian outing through cottonwood-lined river valleys, or a national park experience without the crowds of Yellowstone or Glacier, North Dakota delivers infrastructure for groups of 10 to 60 people across state parks, the National Park Service, the Corps of Engineers, and the U.
North Dakota's group camping season is short but intensely good when you hit it right. The prime window is mid-May through mid-September, with peak conditions from early June through late August when daytime highs sit in the 75-85°F range and nights cool to the 50s.
