Hazelton Recreation Area is located on the east bank of the Missouri River on Lake Oahe just south of Bismarck, North Dakota. The lake is formed by the Oahe Dam in South Dakota, which was built during the Flood Control Act of 1944, commonly called the Pick-Sloan Plan. The lake and dam are named for the Oahe Indian Mission established in 1874 among the Lakota Sioux Indians.
Over 50 recreation areas are scattered around Lake Oahe, where camping, fishing, boating and hunting are popular activities. For more information, please visit the Oahe Dam & Lake website .

Summary
AI generated
Hazelton Recreation Area is a quiet and beautiful small campground, well-maintained and clean, making it a great spot for a peaceful stay. Visitors appreciated the spacious and mowed lots, enhancing their experience. Some noted a need for more gravel in the spots to prevent sinking in muddy areas.
Excellent location on the Missouri River. Very piece full with a great view. I wish it had a dump station. Plenty of sites for boondocking. Nice playground for the kids. Will stay again when in the area. Hazelton is 14 mi to the East. Very nice place and all the people I met were very friendly and helpful.

Campsite was great and had beautiful views at the water’s edge. Campground is along the water and nearby boat ramp. I enjoyed walking around the frisbee golf course. Bathroom was atrocious and needed a clean.

Found out the hard way you have to book 2 nights minimum. Definitely more of an RV/camper place than a tent/hammock campground, but it's kept looking very nice and pretty clean. Campground employee/ranger was really great to talk with, helped clear some confusion I had with booking online, which must be done, as there is no cash/check drop box.

No dump station available. Too loud after 10 pm. Should be monitored ~ the loud folks were across the loop, very disrespectful. Very loud music. Not right.

Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
