Roughrider Campground

I was in site 125, on hard rock, very level, there were no trees in this section, but weather wasn’t too hot. Other sites had nice tall trees. There is a tent area also. Short walk to bathrooms/showers, which were very clean. Quiet area, nice folks walking dogs. There are back-in as well as pull-thru sites. Showers are coin-op, $1 for 5-6 mins. I put in for 8 minutes, and that was plenty to wash and condition hair, and get clean. There’s a laundry area, though I didn’t use it, but there is a change machine there. Wi-Fi available, but I had no problem using AT&T data plan, streamed movie with no problems.

Best of Minot ND RV parks. We stayed in site 123, upper area. Gravel not many trees if you have a pull thru. Our site was a back in, which backed up to a grassy, tree area with a fire ring. Nice pond with fowl. Train noise, but didn’t bother us.
Laundry clean. $2.25 wash. .25 per 6-8 minutes.
Playground. Nice office. Bathroom didn’t use.
Close to major shopping/restaurants.
Long term residents, wasn’t an issue.

We called last minute and the kind staff women told us that they will have spots available for after hours check in. Just see what is available from the list on the door. We arrived and easily found a spacious spot. Overall a good stay. There was a little train noise but not anything terrible. The bathrooms were very clean but included pay showers. $1/5 minutes. Included good WIFI.

We checked most of the area campgrounds and this was by far the best. It is nestled in a river valley and has nice mature trees and more of a camping feel. The sites are very level gravel sites with full hookup or electric only options. Spacing is snug but separated by a picnic table at each site. There is easy after hours check in by form with available sites posted on the door. Wifi is excellent (granted we were camped right next to the office). The shower/restroom facilities were up to date and extremely clean. Antenna receives NBC/FOX/ABC/PBS and assorted channels but not CBS. There are nice play facilities for children as well as volleyball and tetherball. You can’t tell that you are 5 minutes from the city of Minot. AT&T has 2 bars LTE (plenty since the wifi is so good).

Access to the park is good. Roads are paved all the way. Signage was adequate. The park was easy to find.

The office is easy to spot as you enter the park. Check in was efficient, quick and informative. Our clerk was also very conscious of keeping her distance re the COVID 19 pandemic.

Our site, 109, was a pull through and barely fit our coach and towed. It consisted of a rock pad with a shared table. The utilities, power, water and sewer were to the left rear and all were functional even at this time of year. The park is a fair distance from the highway and train tracks. We did hear a little from both but it was not intolerable. Sites are extremely close together. During peal season, this place may not be comfortable. We were well spaced during our stay.

The internet was adequate as long as you didn’t want to do any streaming. We did get some OTA TV. Satellite would work well as there were no trees nearby.

This was a good overnight park for us during our rush to get back to Canada. Our only complaint was the “rock” surface. This was not gravel but medium sized stones. It was hard to walk on even for the dog.

We paid $45.00 per night and feel we we received fair value for our dollar.

We would return if in the area again.

The employees were awesome they kept the grounds looking nice in Raleigh's saying hello and we'll remember who you are. My kids love going in and getting either ice cream or a sucker from them. They had plenty of space to bike around and to play near our camper they also have a playground area where they can play on the jungle gym or out in the field. Having full hookups was great!
