Campgrounds near New Town, North Dakota
New Town sits on the north shore of Lake Sakakawea, the large reservoir formed by Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. The lake has more than 1,300 miles of shoreline and serves as the anchor for most camping in this part of North Dakota, with recreation areas, marinas, and tribal parks strung along its bays. The town itself is the seat of government for the Three Affiliated Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara) on the Fort Berthold Reservation.
RV options close to town are limited but functional. 4 Bears Casino RV Park sits west of New Town near Four Bears Bridge, offering hookups alongside the casino and lodge. Indian Hills Resort, southwest on a Sakakawea peninsula, provides lake access, boat launches, and electric sites.
For travelers willing to drive, Stanley City Campground north of the lake offers a simple municipal RV stop, and Little Missouri State Park south of the lake in the Badlands has both Main and Eastview and Cabins campgrounds. The area rewards RV renters who plan around water access, fuel stops, and long distances between services.
Things to do around New Town
Lake Sakakawea drives the local recreation calendar. Anglers target walleye, northern pike, chinook salmon, and smallmouth bass, and boat ramps are common at recreation areas around the shoreline. Swim beaches, kayaking along protected bays, and pontoon rentals are all available in season.
On land, the Three Affiliated Tribes Museum, Earth Lodge Village, and Crow Flies High Butte overlook are all near New Town and offer context on Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara history. Four Bears Bridge is a landmark crossing of Lake Sakakawea.
For a longer trip, Little Missouri State Park to the south covers over 6,000 acres near Killdeer with more than 45 miles of trails through rugged Badlands terrain, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park's North Unit is within day-trip range for wildlife viewing and scenic drives.

The practical camping window in northwestern North Dakota is short. Most Lake Sakakawea campgrounds run from roughly mid-May through mid-September, and Little Missouri State Park is only open from May through October. Winter closes water systems at nearly every park, and January mean temperatures sit well below freezing with severe wind chill.
June brings the greatest amount of precipitation, with an average of 85 mm, along with thunderstorms and occasional severe weather on the plains. It is also when lake levels are highest and campgrounds start to fill on weekends. July and August bring the warmest, driest weather and the peak of the boating and fishing season, along with the heaviest bookings.
September and early October are strong shoulder-season picks: cooler nights, fewer bugs, lighter crowds, and productive walleye fishing on Sakakawea. Fall foliage along the Missouri River breaks is short but striking. By late October, most sites have closed for the season.
How to book New Town area campgrounds
Booking rules vary by property. North Dakota state parks, including Little Missouri State Park, take reservations through the parkrec.nd.gov system, and campsites can be booked 95 days in advance from the date you wish to stay. A valid daily or annual vehicle entrance permit is required for all vehicles entering a state park, including overnight stays, and equestrian users at Little Missouri need a separate horse pass.
Stanley City Campground handles registration through Stanley City Hall in person or by phone rather than an online system. 4 Bears Casino RV Park takes reservations by phone through the casino, and Indian Hills Resort books directly with its operator.
For peak summer weekends and holidays, reserve as soon as the 95-day state park window opens, and call private and tribal parks several weeks out.
What to expect on the ground near New Town
Sites around Lake Sakakawea are typically open, grassy, and exposed, with limited tree shade at many locations. Amenity levels vary widely, from primitive vault-toilet sites to full hookups with showers and dump stations, so confirm services before you arrive. Cell coverage can be patchy on the reservation and around the Badlands.
At Little Missouri State Park, horse corrals are available for equestrian campers and the park tends to be more RV and equestrian-focused. Water should be filled at the park entrance before going to sites.
Distances between towns are long, and services such as fuel, groceries, and propane are concentrated in New Town, Stanley, Watford City, and Killdeer. Bring bug spray for June, sun protection year-round, and layers for cool nights even in midsummer.
