This is a lovely park with a small beach area. There was flooding the previous year so I think they are still working on cleaning up the park. The hook-ups are on the wrong side so can be awkward when you back in/pull in to the site. There are firepits at each site. Lots to see and do in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If North Dakota allowed "resort" status to a state park, this one would qualify! The tour of the Indian "on a slant" homes and the Custer house is worth the $6 for that tour. Not to mention a trolley you can take to town, a Commissary that sells souveniers and coffee, a small shack that sells sandwiches and smoothies, and plenty of stuff for families with kids. Regarding the nightly rate: If you have the North Dakota annual pass, you only pay $20. If you don't have the pass, you pay $25. Good spacing between sites. I would have preferred that the driving loop be routed the other direction. Even though the loop is one way, I had to make a left to get into my pull-through site. If the loop were routed the other way, then it would be easier to get into the site. The water faucets are "shared." There are two faucets on a post, but the posts are placed between two sites, every other site. If you intend to use your hose, you had better have at least 50 feet, and maybe another five foot hose just in case. Makes me wonder how the park staff gets the lawn mowed with everyone's hoses stretched out all over the place. Since I only stayed two nights, I pulled up close to the faucet, filled my tank, then settled back into the site, hose free. I had to use 50 feet of hose. I would love to give this park a 10 but the water faucet situation is a bit irritating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground only 8 miles south of I-94 (Bismarck). Numerous first come first serve sites are available with 30 amp and water with a dump station on the way out. Large sites and lots of room for the kids and pets with a great playground and river access for swimming. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites flat, gravel, fairly isolated. Lots of room. Many historic sites to visit. Trolley to take you there. Activities include fishing, hiking, on a bike trail. Great place for dog people and bikers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Closed due to flood damage as of this date. They are unsure when it will open again. Call first. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very good state park. The sites are set up a little strange in they have 2 sites in a C formation and looks like lots of folks think it is a one site pull through. Great historical info within the park. We decided to stay a second day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The state park should meet the needs of the hiker, biker, the fisherman, the history buff and even those who wish to be laid back. Great place to be, and good place to use as a base to investigate Bismarck and Mandan. Get up earlier and watch the sun come up over the river. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is located 7 miles south of Mandan, ND and across the Missouri from Bismarck. The sites are fairly large yet oddly laid out: some drive-throughs are designed to hold two units, which requires the latecomer to back in. The water spigots are randomly placed so you will need at least 50' of water hose in many cases. Park is nicely treed and the grass is in good shape. Park's visitor center/museum is excellent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our site was at the end of a loop so it was private but some others are right on top of each other. The playground was good with lots to keep kids entertained. A short walk gets you to the Trolley and the On-a-Slant-Indian Village. I was not happy with the tour of the village. We paid and then were taken to the first hut in the village where the guide talked a bit and then excused us saying if we wanted to carry on the Custer House to go ahead. I felt ripped off since we paid and really got nothing out of it. I did, however, enjoy the campsite - lots of places to walk and explore with the dog. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here over the 4th of July weekend, a very busy time (and BIG party) in Mandan. The state park system screwed up our reservations, which we had made months before - but managed to get us into a non-electric site for a couple of nights, after which we moved to a site with electric (30 amp) and water nearby. This is a nicely shaded, historical park right on the Heart River, where it joins the Missouri River. No swimming is allowed in the river, which would be dicey in any case. Riverfront sites are non-electric only. There is a nice playground for kids, and a volley ball court. Watch out for the poison ivy! Away from the river there is a fascinating historical site, including the calvary fort (from where General Custer and his troops rode to their doom) and an amazing cemetery, plus the Mandan Indian 'slant' village. Great walking and biking trails. We had stayed here the previous May, and had the place entirely to ourselves - with no water or electric; they were shut down till 'spring', whenever that is! There was still a little snow on the ground, but even without any services we were charged to dry camp. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
