Page City Park -- free tent area (Page)
Read this one carefully, because only half of it is free. Page is a small Cass County town off I-94 northwest of Fargo, and the state tourism listing for its city park says 'Free tent camping in City Park - overnight only.' That is the free offer: a TENT, for ONE night. The park's eight RV sites with water, sewer and electricity are a PAID campground with daily and weekly rates -- if you pull in with a trailer and plug into a post, you are in the pay side, not the free side. There are no showers. Because the free tier is tent-only and overnight-only, this is a one-night stop for a cyclist or a tent camper, not a basecamp. The deal these towns offer is simple: camp free, and they hope you buy fuel, groceries or dinner in town. Call (701) 668-2226 to confirm the free tent area still stands and where to pitch. Town rules change often and we have not visited -- confirm current rules with the city before you go.
