Then shuts it off for 5 minutes then turns it back on again over and over! Then before that, people are up all night long driving and walking like theyre scoping out the place, i felt nervous because it sounded like they were going through things outside, just really made me feel uneasy, for 60. A night i should feel more safe and not on edge, and the music starts up again at 9:30 am on the weekend. Cant relax on the weekend here, if you want to party thats the place to be. I thought it was going to be a quiet little campground, but by 3am its noisier than heck and it doesnt settle down, on a sunday! I don't reccomend if you want some relaxation on a weekend. Oh yeah when i first arrived i thought i was in mexico, spanish music blaring, this is no place to be if you want to relax or have respect for others, i dont see much of that there. Way too pricey for that atmosphere; sorry hillcrest but my first impression sadly wasnt a good one. BUT on the positive side, i do have to say that it is a pretty area and the staff was accomodating.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hillcrest Acres, and the owner/operators are as nice as can be, but let…read moreme just state for the record, it's NOT really a campground, it's really an RV Park. I had to sit and wait for a part for my RV for nearly a week, and they were very nice and accommodating, even lending an extra hand when I needed a little help fixing something. Hillcrest sits up on a hill just a few miles out of town, and the property typically gets a nice breeze in the hottest part of the day, which really helps on sunny days. There are trees that provide shade too, so overall it's a very comfortable place even when the temps rise into the high 80's. It always seems to cool down into the 60's at night too, which is a real blessing in the dog days of summer. My only complaint with Hillcrest is their bathrooms, which are pretty much the original structures from decades ago. Frankly, they should have been completely demolished and rebuilt when the current family of owners bought the property from the original developers who built it decades ago. I'm not sure what the plans are, but I'd imagine they understand the situation and will get around to making improvements soon.

Ever since I was a little kid I can remember taking the trolley out to Fort Lincoln. It was like…read moretaking a time machine back to the 1800s. During our trip we saw farming fields, wildflowers, and wildlife! A fleeting white-tail deer, a ring-neck pheasant racing us along the tracks as we trundle along to the state park. Absolutely worth the time and price. They make two stops in the park: 1) On-A-Slant Historical Mandan Earth Lodge Village 2) Fort Abraham Lincoln They leave the station in town at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm. They leave the park at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30. (don't miss the 4:30!) Your best bet is to take the 1pm out to the park, and get off at the stop at the fort. Then head over to the commissary building and pick up your interpretive passes (100% worth it). These passes will grant you access to the living history tours at the Custer House and the On-A-Slant Village. The Custer House tours are given every half hour. The On-A-Slant Village tours begin in the interpretive center, and are given every hour on the hour.

The mansion was constructed in 1884 and was not originally built for the governors of North Dakota, but rather as a private resident. The mansion was the North Dakota governors' residence from 1893 to 1960, which is pretty sweet! They are very open to photography, so snap away! The mansion gets decorated for different seasons and holidays, which I can't wait to come back for the holiday season! Lastly, there is a lot for children to do here, they have historic games that you can do with your children on the lawn and a scavenger hunt! It is 100% a self-guided tour, however a site supervisor is always around and is happy to answer questions! I asked her about any paranormal activity that the mansion has had and she did have a few stories for me; pretty cool, a haunting presence somewhere in the heart of Bismarck, North Dakota! I was treated so well and the site supervisor was super welcoming! There is two floors, both open to the public (every bedroom and room is open). The upstairs is not handicap accessible, because you have to climb stairs. Additionally, there is a "Carriage House" which is basically the garage that has been converted into a museum full of historical artifacts! You could spend approximately 1-2 hours here and get the feel of the whole place. The North Dakota State Historical Society clearly did a lot of research and beautiful restoration to this place. I will no doubt be back and I am so thankful that I stopped on by on a beautiful August day! I hope you enjoy the pictures I captured!

I like the turn to enter which will definitely help to slow people down as they come in off the highway. Lots of brochures and booklets with information about North Dakota amenities and attractions. Clean restrooms. Some signs that point out the history of North Dakota Oil Exploration and Oil Marketing. Interesting stuff! Note that the sign at the entrance reads, "No overnight camping." Overnight camping is not the same as overnight parking, so yes, you can park overnight here and sleep in your car or RV. [Review 20779 overall - 135 in North Dakota - 1762 of 2023.]
