Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Scottimus Coffield · Dec 2024

Schnell recreational area was pleasant and empty. It's approximately 12-13 miles outside of Dickinson ND. Even closer to Richardton ND by 3.25 miles. Unreasonably warm this time of year so access to all the area was readily available. Small, quaint and clean camping areas with both water and electric hookups (not all). 1.5 loop trail with slight elevation gains and gorgeous views of the prairie land. I will be back for sure. Didn't see the playground area but did use one of the many restrooms available. Very dog friendly and lovely picnic areas all around!

★★★★★ 5.0 Neil Wilcoxson · Jun 2023

Decent camping spot near I-94 for $5. I was the only one there on a Sunday night, not sure if it gets busy other nights. You will hear interstate and train noise. Choose a site without telephone poles to minimize bird noise in the morning.

This is a small, quiet place. Just beautiful. Only camp toilets. There is potable water. About 7 camping sites with picnic tables, fire pits, barbeque grills, a couple have covered pavilions. There are hiking and bike trails. Primitive camping but only $5 a night and worth it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Christine Streeter · Aug 2023

For $10 a night you can't beat this place. Very clean well maintained sites. Not a whole lot of privacy but very pretty. We were just passing through on our way home and were very pleasantly surprised. I bet after school,is back in session this place is a gem for those who want tranquility.
