About this campground
Along the shores of Lake Tschida, this county-managed campground spreads across multiple areas near Elgin, North Dakota. The main campground provides electric and sewer hookups, while several primitive areas offer more secluded options scattered around the 1,800-acre reservoir. Campers can access sites by standard vehicle, with rates ranging from $14 to $55 per night during the May through September season. The downstream campground draws fewer crowds than the main area. "Very quiet during the week," notes one reviewer, with some visitors having entire sections to themselves on weekdays. Most sites include shade, though a few sit in open areas.

The main lake area features a beach and playground, while fishing remains popular both from shore and the stream below the dam. Local anglers target walleye, crappie, catfish, and several bass species throughout the day. Water quality issues have affected some spigots in recent years, with potable water available at the main site. The facility includes clean shower houses, flush toilets at developed areas, and vault toilets at primitive sites. A nearby bait shop serves fishing needs, and the campground allows pets throughout. Staff responds quickly to maintenance requests and provides friendly service during the busy summer months. For additional camping options, [Glen Ullin Memorial Park](https://thedyrt.com/camping/north-dakota/glen-ullin-memorial-park) sits 15 miles north. Reservations help secure preferred sites during peak summer weekends.
