Parks FAQs

Electrical sites are $25/night. Primitive camping sites are $15/night.

You can pay the Camp Host, or the Iron Ranger located at the entrance of the campground.

It means you’re not on a defined camping pad and not using electricity.

For $25/camper, each pedestal can have up to 2  campers. Each of our pedestals have a 50, 30 and 20 amp in them. The number of pedestals at each park is listed below:

Harmon Lake – 43

Graner Park – 75 electrical

Fort Rice – 10 electrical

Harmon Lake has two group pads and Graner Park has one group pad.

The group pads can be reserved for $100/night, which allows for five campers. (We charge for the first four, the fifth one is free!) Each camper beyond five is $25/night. These pads can hold 8-10 campers depending on how they are parked.

Camping sites are first come, first serve. You can select any open site. If you have any questions, you can speak with the campground host.

Group sites can be reserved. Call the County Parks office at 701-667-3363 to check availability. Individual sites are first come, first serve.

County Parks do not rent these items, but during the summer season, Paddle On ND, does have a permanent rental site at Harmon Lake. You can obtain contact information and details at http://www.paddleonnd.com/.

No campsites have water. At Harmon Lake there is a spigot by the Camp Host to fill your tanks. Graner Park has spigots spread throughout the park.
