The temperature may be dropping, the leaves covering the ground, and snow already recorded this season, but that doesn’t mean camping is over in North Dakota. On the contrary, there are plenty of ways and places where you can still camp all winter long. Fort Ransom State Park is one of them – and it’ll give you an off-season camping experience like no other.
As the seasons change, many people put their camping plans on hold - but you don’t have to. Fort Ransom State Park has beautiful, wooded hills to visit year-round and plenty of ways to camp in the fall and winter.

You can even rent a historic homestead located in the park and stay in this home that predates North Dakota being a state.

There are two yurts available at Fort Ransom, both of which are identical, which are quite the upgrade from your typical tent. Plus, they are located in a lovely spot.

The yurts are fully furnished and have heat and electricity. There are multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and everything you need for a warm and comfortable trip to the forest.
