**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [North Dakota](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/north-dakota) › [Larimore](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/north-dakota/larimore)**

This county\-managed site provides free camping along Upper Turtle Reservoir, though the land ownership remains unclear to some visitors\. The area lacks formal campsite boundaries or services, functioning more as dispersed parking spots than traditional camping\. Campers typically have the location to themselves, with several spots offering reservoir views for vehicles that can navigate the terrain\. Road access requires caution, particularly during wet conditions when deep grass can pose challenges for low\-clearance vehicles\. Cell service reaches the area, and the site allows both pets and alcohol\. Wind exposure can be significant, though campers report finding some shelter near the treeline on higher ground\. For those seeking more developed facilities, \[Turtle River State Park Campground\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/north\-dakota/north\-dakota\-turtle\-river\-state\-park\) provides an alternative with full amenities\.
