Sleep In A Tipi At Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park In North Dakota

One of the most unique and fun state parks in North Dakota is one that is full of history. From a historic fort to a recreation of a centuries-old Native American village, there is so much to see and do here. But did you know they also have tipis that you can stay in? Take camping to a different level by staying at this unique campground.

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is just outside of Mandan and Bismarck, North Dakota and is full of history.

The On-A-Slant Village is a fascinating place to visit. It will allow you to explore the earth lodges that used to fill this area with hundreds of people living in them long before the settlers came to this state.

Though you can’t stay overnight in one of the earth lodges, you can stay in a tipi if you’d like!

The park has lots of camping space available for tents, RVs and campers, and it also has two tipis available to reserve for camping.

The two tipis are named after the two rivers that the park is next to, the Missouri River and the Heart River. Each one has enough space for six people with cots, a fire ring, inside table, and outside picnic table available.

While you’re not sleeping under one of the tipis, you can explore the park and all it has to offer. From the beautiful natural areas to the historic village, fort buildings, and Custer’s House, there is so much to see!
