We have driven through Valley City ND several times but have paused only to look in antique ships. This year we decided to park at a Corps of Engineers campground north of Valley City on 27 mile long Lake Ashabula. The amenities were good - a nice swimming beach, playground for children, and great views of the lake, shown below.The only hookup at the sites was 30 amp electricity. A few water spigots were available, and a dump station was at a companion campground across a bridge.
BUT few of the camping sites were sufficiently level to park a motor home without ramps to level. There was no warning on the campground website of the sloping problem.
Travel trailers could be leveled as their wheelbases for two axle trailers is short.
Site 36 was so sloping that even though we ramped up the back dual wheels on both sides the motor home still was far from level.
The only advantage of site 36 was that we could fill the fresh water tank at the site. As soon as the weekend crowds left we moved to a less sloping site and still had to ramp.
Eggert’s Landing, another Corps of Engineers campground a few miles away had mostly level sites,
I stayed here during a 96 day road trip... It was only for two nights and, I might add, it was in a conversion van... However, I truly enjoyed the much needed break and the site was very relaxing... Met some great people there... You can read more about my road trip at our FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/101904366900374/
