About

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park Main Campground is located in North Dakota's oldest state park, established in 1907 along the confluence of the Missouri and Heart Rivers. The campground offers a variety of site types including electric/water hookup sites, water-only sites, and group camping options that accommodate multiple units. Modern amenities include flush toilets, showers, and a dump station. The scenic Mato-tope Trail loops through the campground along the rivers and historic railroad line. The park features approximately 19 miles of non-motorized trails open for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with eight horse corrals available for equestrian campers. The trail system offers excellent views of the river bottoms and surrounding prairie landscape. Anglers can fish along the shorelines of both the Missouri and Heart Rivers. The campground provides convenient access to significant historical attractions including the reconstructed On-A-Slant Indian Village, Fort Abraham Lincoln's cavalry post buildings, and the Custer House. A visitor center museum displays Mandan artifacts and military history. The park also features a commissary store with a coffee shop, WiFi, and gift shop. Reservations can be made up to 95 days in advance through the state park system.
