Jamestown, North Dakota

Your North Dakota Escape
Starts at the Water's Edge

Nestled along the shores of Lake Ilo, our campground offers a peaceful retreat where the rhythm of nature becomes your schedule — and every sunrise feels like it was made just for you.

Our Story

A Family Tradition
of Hospitality Since 1978

What began as a modest family campground on the shores of Lake Ilo has grown into one of Jamestown's most cherished outdoor destinations — without ever losing the warmth and personal touch that makes every guest feel like family.

Whether you arrive in a full-size RV seeking full hookups, pitch a tent beneath a canopy of stars, or park a camper for a quiet weekend, Lakeside Campground offers the perfect basecamp for exploring the rolling hills, prairie trails, and lakeside charm of central North Dakota.
