About
Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is North Dakota's most visited state park, located south of Mandan at the confluence of the Missouri and Heart Rivers. The main campground features 51 modern campsites with electric and water hookups, 15 modern group sites, 15 primitive sites, and 4 equestrian campsites. Recent infrastructure upgrades added 50-amp electrical service and individual water hydrants at many sites. The campground offers full amenities including flush toilets, hot showers, an RV dump station, and a commissary store with coffee shop. Two seasonal camping cabins sleep five and include air conditioning, heat, and a small refrigerator. The Good Boy Cabin is ADA accessible. Beyond camping, the park preserves significant history. Visitors can tour the reconstructed infantry post and blockhouses of Fort Abraham Lincoln, where Lt. Col. George Custer commanded the 7th Cavalry before departing for the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The On-A-Slant Indian Village features reconstructed Mandan earth lodges. Trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding wind through the park, while the rivers offer fishing and paddling opportunities.
