The people in the office were friendly. I did not use the restrooms, but I checked them out. They were fairly clean, but you had to walk through a dirty laundry room to get to them. The site was level, water was leaking on one of the faucets outside. There were quite a few older rigs where people my have been living permanently. It was convenient for touring in the area. This campground needs a lot of work. I would probably stay here again strictly for the convenience. The $18.00 cost was with my Passport America discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice gift shop . Within walking distance of attractions . Nice area to walk dogs or let them run a bit. Very good price . The sites are narrow and a little dusty . Overall good for a night or two . We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place is a DUMP. Little more than a dirt and gravel parking lot with patches of dry brown grass and lots of tall trees. Very few sites can get satellite reception. Nearby train tracks with train noise. We were in the back row next to a construction/truck company with old abandoned trucks on the property. Park is almost full with long term contact workers in older run down rigs. Passport America rate and reliable full hookups with good water pressure. Good proximity to the Buffalo Museum (worth a visit) and visitor information center with friendly staff. OK for an overnight convenient to the highway. I would find another place to stay next time if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very well kept park, clean and neat. Good sized level gravel sites. Close to local attractions and buffalo herd. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park with an interesting frontier town attraction adjacent. Nice gift shop. Nice bar and restaurant with roof seating. Buffalo roam the hillside next to the park, including 3 albino buffalo. Nice museum on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Passport America campground, and a good place for overnight and nothing more. We arrived late (8:30pm) after a long day but the owner was very accommodating and put us in three spots so we won't have to unhook our trailer. (All the pull thru sites were full.) We camped here in a Motorhome.
Kind of a depressing spot. They put us next to a permanent rig that was very decrepit and had foil insulation and duct tape at odd angles in every opening. Beware the restaurant. We've been here twice. The first time, my wife was served raw chicken. The second time, she thought it would be safer to order a burger. We both ordered them medium -- mine was well done and hers was (you guessed it) raw. It was barely even brown on the outside and when she cut it in half, the knife was covered with raw burger. When she sent it back, they microwaved it and brought it back out. Another negative was the restroom. It was quite clean, but it's constructed entirely of particle board so it looks cheesy and poorly kept. Worse yet, the men's and women's restrooms/showers both open off the laundry room and the women's is in the back so guys with laundry can hang around the open door of the women's room and women have to squeeze past them coming out of the room. My wife is not usually worried about this kind of stuff but she wouldn't use the facilities here at all. One final word of warning: They have a full-grown buffalo inside a VERY rickety fence in the park. He will charge the fence if he finds you annoying. He stops at the fence but, if he kept coming, it wouldn't even slow him down. One of the regular residents told me that the buffalo often gets out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Passport America Campground. The roads and sites were dirt. The sites are narrow. The better sites were reserved for permanent residents and non-Passport America campers. The picnic tables were old, broken, and useless. There were several dirt bikers joyriding around the campground while we were there. The restrooms and showers are a mess and need to be updated and remodeled. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A good place for an overnight stop. Nice level pull thru sites. Sites are close together but there are lots of trees. No problem opening slide out. The restaurant is OK. The gift shop at the store was nice. While the bathhouse was rustic it was very clean. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Just a place to hook up, dump and sleep as far as I am concerned. Cheap price and no amenities. VERY rustic and I did not even want to look inside the shower building. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is OK and well worth the Passport America price. Short distance to the Buffalo Museum and Frontier Fort and it is very interesting. Very nice store at the office. Restuarant and lounge over the office with lots of local color and short walk back to your campsite. Restuarant packed with local folks for the Buffalo burgers and beer. Modem is awkward at the front desk as people are checking in. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campsite is very run down. The yard across from our campsite looked lake a dump for old rusty things. A poor buffalo was wandering around in this yard. Despite calling the campsite about 2 months prior: they did not have a reservation for me. The man at the desk was able to find my reservation in a book and then was able to find us a site. The garbage dumpster was over-flowing so we could not fit our garbage in the dumpster. The trains are horrible!!! All night long they sound their horns. We were awakened by this constantly all night long. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We used this campground for an overnight stop only. The campground was pretty full so our choice of sites was limited. Our site was level and the power supply was good. The biggest issue I had with this campground is they are still using the old style credit card receipt which lists our entire credit card number information on the receipt. Be careful not to just throw your receipt away. Our Sprint aircard reception was good as was our DirecTV reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at Jamestown Campground not only once, but on our return trip home we stayed again. We were guided to our campsite and asked if there was anything we needed. They offered us a map on how to get to and around Jamestown. They offer a walking area around the campground, a nice play area for the children and a feeling that you are safe. I especially liked the clean bathrooms. Clean bathrooms show the pride the owners/caretakers have. I have and will continue to recommend this camp ground to our fellow RV'ers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After driving for hours, finding this shaded, easy to get to campground was a most welcome sight. Check in was easy & I was glad to have someone lead me to our site. Sites are side by side pull throughs, but it didn't feel overly tight. Nice for an overnighter. Yes, the gravel road was dusty coming in, but I was just glad to find something close by. We had wi-fi that had average connectivity. Looked like the playground had plenty for kids to do. It was well-kept looking & clean. My only complaint was that one of the workers came around in his golf cart & officiously announced "your dog has pooped...are you going to clean it up?" We'd only been there for a half hour, for crying out loud & hubby was taking a nap. Granted I've heard that is a #1 problem with campers; I understand that, but thought it was a little extreme. So be prepared to clean up after your pet the minute he poops! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is listed in the Passport America directory and lists a fee of $16.00 per night. The nice lady told me it would be $18.00. I asked why. Her reply was the boss told her to charge PPA $18.00, which included $2.00 for a/c and/or electric heat. I explained I was not going to use either. Her reply was that the boss says that all campers say they will not use it, but they always do. I told her that the boss has never seen me, and yet he is calling me a dishonest liar. I paid the $18.00. It seems to me the boss is the dishonest one. He clearly advertises one price but charges another. The campground has folks staying there long term, including 2 tenters. In one word it is a dump. No, we will never stay there again. The campground has small crowded sites. Trash is everywhere. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice place for an overnighter. Well groomed and very quiet. Not a problem for big rigs. Would rate higher if not for a dusty mile of gravel road to get to it. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree with the last 3 posts. This is a nice park for an overnight stay. Easy in and out from the interstate. Not particularly noisy. Friendly hosts. Lots of space to run my dog. Plenty of things to let kids burn up some energy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, big shade trees and nice grass. Well maintained. Nice grassy areas for walking the dog. Just off the freeway, but trees block the view and some noise. Gravel road to access park from exit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park. Lots of well mowed grass, and good shade trees. Long pull thru sites. Easy access to the Interstate. Nothing available within walking distance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It has easy interstate access. It is close to shopping and dining in town. Access to the campground is on a mile long well maintained gravel road. The park is well laid out and well maintained. The staff was helpful both in the office and guiding to campsite. The power posts are new with 30 and 50 amp services. There are a lot of trees that are trimmed. The sites are mostly level and long enough for big rigs- 38 feet with a tow vehicle. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The major drawback to this otherwise nice little park with free wifi is the mile long dirt access road to get to it. Our MH and dinghy were covered with a layer of dust by the time we got there. Local people use the access road and feel the need to drive it at 70 miles an hour creating hugh dust clouds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Like many former KOA's it's a bit long in the tooth and the pool died sometime back but it is well maintained, has lots of grass and trees and there's lots of space (there was at least 35ft between RVs on the shared hookup we had. It was quiet and a great place to spend the night after the 520 mile drive from Billings, MT. It's easy access from I-90 and I don't mind a relatively short stretch of decent of gravel in most cases. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They recommended driving the 100 miles to Fargo to save 30-cents on gas which we were fortunately able to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a well maintained former KOA campground. The owners are trying to sell the campground, and their son told us a sale recently fell through. Perhaps as a result, the pool was not operational, and the camp store was not well stocked. Friendly staff. We were escorted to our site, which helps keep speed and dust down. The pull through site pad was gravel, with the rest of the site grassy. Our daughter informs us the cable channels were limited. Overall a pleasant place to stop on the way through North Dakota. The gravel road was not a major issue, but then we don't tend to get overly excited about a little dust on the rig. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Former KOA, nice but bugs are heavy, only problem is you have to travel on a 1 mile dirt road to get in and out, if you have a clean rig, kiss it good bye! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice appearance and pride of ownership is evident. Owner managers are very helpful but not experienced in guiding very large motor homes. Not a big rig park but big rigs can be accommodated in a few sites if the rig enters the park in the right direction. Walk the park first if you have a 45 foot big rig and especially if you are towing. Entrance could be wider. Watch the turn in a big rig. The gravel road to the park will make your towed vehicle absolutely filthy by the time you reach the park. They allow windshield washing but not the entire rig. I had to stop at a rest stop and use my on-board power washer to insure that my rig was safe to drive it was so dirty from the gravel road to the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground with very pleasant, friendly owners. Previous review complaining about dust was greatly exagerated. A 1/2 mile gravel access road but dust did not enter the campground. All sites are very long, level pull thrus. Owner leads you to your site. Large manicured grassy areas, plenty of shade trees but satellite accessable from most sites. Surrounded by wheat and sunflower fields. Not a lot to see in Jamestown but this is a great place to stay a night or two on your way through North Dakota. Would go out of my way to stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice rv park and campground run by very friendly people. Nice level sites with good ingress and egress. Generally big rig friendly but don't let them stick you in Site 48 if you have a big rig and a toad and don't want to unhook. You don't have enough swing room to get out. Otherwise, would highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Incredibly difficult to access, down a couple of miles through clouds of dust down the
washboard gravel frontage road. Campground equally dusty, dangerous to even breathe outside. Small pool not inviting. Almost all sites are back-to-back,
no privacy. No choice about sites, managers put all in the smallest site usable, saving best for possible larger late arrivals. We camped here in a Motorhome.
