Lazy Fish at Pelican Point

The scent of fresh lake water mingles with campfire smoke as sunlight dances across the waves of Jamestown Reservoir—a setting where Lazy Fish at Pelican Point delivers family-friendly camping with direct waterfront access and lively on-site amenities. Situated on the western shore just six miles north of Jamestown, this 50-site campground blends prairie landscapes with recreational convenience, offering electrical and water hookups for RVs alongside primitive tent areas and no-frills cabins.

Anglers and water enthusiasts thrive here with a boat ramp, fish cleaning station, and swimming beach, while the on-site bar and grill provides meals with lake views. The campground’s covered picnic shelters and sand volleyball court cater to group gatherings, and the nearby woody draws offer pockets of shade amid North Dakota’s grasslands. Jamestown’s attractions—including a 28-mile trail network and Little Britches Fishing Pond—are minutes away, though the reservoir’s calm waters and sunrise vistas often anchor visitors to the shoreline.

Accessible sites with concrete pads and roll-in showers accommodate diverse needs, while the concession stand stocks bait, firewood, and essentials. Evenings come alive with live music and inflatable water slides during peak season, reinforcing the campground’s reputation for balancing relaxation with family-oriented fun.
