We reserved Bismark KOA twice during our vacation - driving to and back. We'll service, hot-hot water in shower, very clean and big restrooms. Electricity, water, dump at each site. Wow!!!

We just left Bismarck KOA Journey. What a wonderful campground. The staff is so welcoming. They drive you to your site. It was crowded but very quiet. The K9 area was really nice. There is a lot for kids to do. They have a mini golf, corn hole, fat pool, basketball, volleyball, bikes and more.

They drive you to your site. It was crowded but very quiet. The K9 area was really nice. There is a lot for kids to do. They have a mini golf, corn hole, fat pool, basketball, volleyball, bikes and more. Their tent area has electric, a nice tent pad, a covered shelter and place for your vehicle. Their deluxe sites are nice too. They don't have a lot of cabins but the ones they had were spaced apart just enough. We didn't need their bathroom so I can't day anything about that. The wifi was spotty. My only negative was they have an issue with the sewer system. As you walk around, you can smell sewers at some sections. There were plenty of trees for wonderful shade.

A fellow Rv traveler recommended this Koa to me and my partner. We both work remote. At first everything seemed great, nice views, helpful neighbors but once we hit negative temps we had power outages 2-3 times a week. Mind you, we pay over a $1,000 a month for this spot and that’s pro rated. New owner seems unstable? Had two neighbors tell me she goes around unplugging people’s electricity. Cause...

Mind you, we pay over a $1,000 a month for this spot and that’s pro rated. New owner seems unstable? Had two neighbors tell me she goes around unplugging people’s electricity. Caused one of my neighbors circuit board issues and the other had to replace their surge protectors and rv connects all out if they’re own pockets. It wasn’t till the 3rd power outage they offered to help people with hotels for the night. With more and more sketchy characters moving in we decided to leave before the new year to a new site. Best of luck out there for you full time travelers!

This is an excellent, well run campground with a staff and owner that clearly care about their guests. Our most recent prior KOA experience left us feeling jaded with the brand, and this place recovered it spectacularly! This campground has excellent amenities including a well maintained pool, tennis and basketball courts, playground, mini golf, bikes and trikes for the kids to use, and possibly the best dog park I've ever seen. The sites are level gravel with full hookups and well-kept shrubbery that creates a sense of privacy. Old growth trees throughout that are spaced enough to allow satellite access. In short, it's everything we've come to expect from KOA, and we'll definitely stay here again next time we're in the area!

Stayed Jun 3-4, 2023 in our Class A 40ft (towing pickup for a total of 60ft) on a 50amp full service site. This campground was lovely. Well kept and they have made recent additions (covered picnic areas) that show the attention to the park. Pool was lovely and the site felt private, with some hedges between our neighbour. We got very lucky with a pull in spot directly from the entrance (site 12).... Stayed Jun 3-4, 2023 in our Class A 40ft (towing pickup for a total of 60ft) on a 50amp full service site.

We did have to detach and park the truck sideways in front of the rig but it was easy and we were able to stay on the gravel and not destroy the grass. Dog park was nicer than most, with obstacles for the dogs to interact with. Lovely park, friendly staff. Would stay again.
