Campgrounds near Beulah, North Dakota
Beulah sits in Mercer County in west-central North Dakota, roughly 14 miles south of Beulah Bay on Lake Sakakawea, the reservoir formed by Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. The lake is the largest body of water in the state and is ringed with state parks, Corps of Engineers recreation areas, and private resorts, giving RV travelers a dense cluster of campground options within a short drive of town.
The closest lakeside option is Dakota Waters Resort on Beulah Bay, a family-owned campground and marina with electric and water sites plus cabins and a restaurant. Farther east on the reservoir, Lake Sakakawea State Park near Pick City and Fort Stevenson State Park south of Garrison anchor the North Dakota state park system on the lake, both offering modern hookup sites, cabins, boat ramps, and swim beaches.
Additional choices include Indian Hills Resort on the north shore west of Garrison and Sakakawea RV Park in the town of Garrison itself, which functions as a full-hookup base camp for exploring the region.
Things to do around Beulah
Water recreation drives most trips. Lake Sakakawea is known for walleye, northern pike, and chinook salmon fishing, with boat ramps, marinas, and fish-cleaning stations at Dakota Waters Resort, Lake Sakakawea State Park, Fort Stevenson State Park, and Indian Hills Resort. Pontoon and kayak rentals are available at several of these locations.
On land, Fort Stevenson State Park has miles of trails for hiking and biking, plus a partial fort reconstruction and interpretive center.

The camping season in this part of North Dakota is short and weather-driven. Most private resorts and state park campgrounds run from mid-May through September or early October. Dakota Waters Resort typically operates from May 1 through September 30. Full services at North Dakota state parks, including flush toilets and showers, are generally available beginning May 16.
Summer, from mid-June through mid-August, is peak season. Warm days, long daylight hours, and open marinas draw the strongest demand, and popular lakefront sites at Fort Stevenson State Park and Lake Sakakawea State Park can be booked months in advance. Fall brings cooler nights, fewer bugs, and chinook salmon fishing on Lake Sakakawea, but services taper off after Labor Day.
Winter is cold, windy, and often well below zero. Most campgrounds close, though a handful of RV parks in the Garrison area, including Sakakawea RV Park, offer year-round or shoulder-season stays for travelers passing through.
How to book a site
North Dakota state park campgrounds, including Lake Sakakawea State Park and Fort Stevenson State Park, are reserved through the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department reservation system online or by phone. Campsites can be booked up to 95 days ahead of the arrival date, and standard check-in is 4:00 p.m. with check-out at 3:00 p.m. Cabins and yurts open a longer window, up to 365 days ahead.
Private options book directly with the operator. Dakota Waters Resort, Indian Hills Resort, and Sakakawea RV Park each take reservations through their own websites. For summer weekends, holidays, and fishing tournament dates, reserve well in advance. Waterfront and full-hookup sites at the state parks are the first to fill.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around Beulah is rolling mixed-grass prairie broken by the wide, bluff-lined valley of Lake Sakakawea. Campgrounds range from modern loops with 30/50-amp electric and water, and in some cases sewer, to primitive prairie sites without hookups. Dakota Waters Resort accepts big rigs, with sites up to 70 feet, and is RV-only with no tent sites.
Wind is a constant factor on the reservoir, and shade is limited outside of tree-planted loops. Cell coverage on the major carriers is generally usable near Garrison, Beulah, and the state parks. Pets are welcome on leash at both state parks and most private resorts, though not on swim beaches.
Groceries, fuel, bait, and tackle are available in Beulah and Garrison, and the state parks and Dakota Waters Resort operate seasonal camp stores. Plan for variable prairie weather, including sudden thunderstorms and high winds in summer.
