Page City Park -- free tent area (Page)

Drive-up · public land · ND · 47.15320, -97.57176
We haven't personally camped here. Everything below is pulled from public land data, USGS maps and OpenStreetMap — a real place on public land, but not field-checked by us. Confirm road conditions, current access, stay limits and fire restrictions before you go.

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.

How we know this

Source
municipal park records
Confidence
Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
FREE FOR TENTS ONLY per ndtourism.com (Page City Park Campground and RV Park), quoted: 'Free tent camping in City Park - overnight only.' The SAME listing prices the RV side: '8 RV sites with water, sewer and electricity - daily and weekly rates.' 104 Morton Ave., Page ND 58064, (701) 668-2226. Confidence 'med': state tourism listing, not the city's own page, and the free tier is narrow. Coordinates: OSM node/7639005011 'Page City Park Campground', which independently carries fee=no. Verified 2026-07-20.
Field check
Not verified on the ground. Nobody from here has camped it. It stays at Likely until someone does.

What we don’t know

A land record can put you within a few metres of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
