Ft Abraham Lincoln State Park — RV Camping in Mandan, ND

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park in Mandan, North Dakota, sits along the scenic Missouri and Heart Rivers, offering a compelling blend of history and outdoor recreation. Established in 1907, the park preserves the reconstructed Mandan On-A-Slant Village with six earthlodges, Fort Abraham Lincoln's cavalry and infantry posts with furnished blockhouses and barracks, and Civilian Conservation Corps structures from the 1930s — making it one of the most historically rich campgrounds in the Great Plains. Campers enjoy 51 modern sites with electrical and water hookups, including 30-amp service and pull-through options, plus primitive sites for a more rustic stay. Full amenities include hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, picnic tables, grills, and a playground. Pets are welcome throughout the park. Nearly 20 miles of non-motorized trails wind through rolling hills and river valleys, ideal for hiking and wildlife viewing. A kayak launch provides direct river access, and fishing is available on both rivers. The park's visitor center museum, gift shop, and on-site commissary add convenience and cultural depth. Located near Bismarck, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park connects visitors to Lewis and Clark heritage sites and Far West River Boat history, making it a must-visit destination in North Dakota.
