Fort Ransom State Park Horse Camp

About

Fort Ransom State Park Horse Camp provides dedicated equestrian camping in one of North Dakota's most scenic landscapes. Located in the Sheyenne River Valley, the campground features 68 corrals distributed among modern and primitive campsites. Modern horse sites include electricity and access to a central water hydrant, while primitive sites offer a more rustic experience with corral access at each site. The park's trail system covers over 20 miles of non-motorized paths through wooded terrain and valley landscapes, making it a prime destination for trail riding. A segment of the North Country National Scenic Trail passes through the park. The Sheyenne River offers additional recreation including canoeing, fishing, and bird watching. Horse riders must purchase a horse pass ($6 daily or $30 annually per horse) in addition to park entrance fees. Certified weed-free hay is required and available for purchase at the park. Campers are responsible for daily manure removal from corrals and must tie horses to corral posts or trailers, not trees.
