Lewis and Clark State Park

What sets Lewis and Clark State Park in Epping, North Dakota, apart is its distinctive combination of tranquil lakeside camping and rugged prairie scenery, framed by the dramatic buttes of the North Dakota Badlands. Located on Lake Sakakawea’s upper bays, the park offers campers a unique balance of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and well-maintained facilities.

The campground features a variety of accommodations, including modern RV sites with full hookups, primitive tent sites, and cozy cabins, all complemented by clean restrooms, showers, and a convenient dump station. Campers can enjoy direct access to the lake thanks to the on-site marina with rental slips, a boat ramp, and a swimming beach. Outdoor enthusiasts can fish for walleye and northern pike, hike the self-guided nature trail through native mixed-grass prairie, or rent kayaks, paddleboards, and fat-tire bikes. Additional on-site amenities include a general store, picnic shelters, and an amphitheater.

Situated just a short drive from Epping, the park provides an ideal base for relaxing weekend getaways or extended vacations, offering easy access to authentic prairie landscapes and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re drawn to the peaceful shoreline or the adventurous spirit of the Badlands, Lewis and Clark State Park blends comfort with the call of the wild.
