About

North Hill Campground is a primitive camping area within Lake Metigoshe State Park, one of North Dakota's most popular year-round vacation destinations. Located in the scenic Turtle Mountains along the U.S./Canadian border, the park sits about 14 miles northeast of Bottineau, North Dakota. The unique woodlands and wetlands provide habitat for a wide variety of plant, animal, and bird species seldom seen elsewhere in North Dakota, including occasional moose sightings. The park offers over 13 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, including the Old Oak Trail, North Dakota's first National Recreation Trail. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and ice fishing. The park features multiple small lakes perfect for kayaking and canoeing, with Lake Metigoshe offering northern pike, walleye, and perch fishing. A dog park is located near the North Hill Campground area. Lake Metigoshe State Park was constructed by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. The Chippewa called the lake "Metigoshe Washegum," meaning "clear water lake surrounded by oaks." The park offers hands-on educational programs year-round and hosts special events including Wild Outdoor Women weekends and youth day camps.
