Grand Forks City Park Municipal Campground

The Grand Forks City Park Municipal Campground welcomes you to come and stay for a while and discover Grand Forks
Nestled along the scenic Kettle River,
this campsite is the getaway youve been searching for...
Grand Forks City Park boasts a peaceful setting, combined with a convenient
location. In the heart of downtown Grand Forks, it is just a short walk
to amenities such as grocery stores and banks. The park is also the home
of the Grand Forks BMX Track, where you can see amazing feats performed
by BMXers of all ages. Also nearby are restaurants specializing in Russian
cuisine, and serving Grand Forks famous borscht.
When visiting, or if you reside in Grand Forks, City Park
is a wonderful spot to spend an hour, a day, or longer! The Spirit of
2010 Trail previously known as the TransCanada Trail runs through the
park alongside the Kettle River. The trail where it enters (or exits)
the park on the west side off of Kettle River Drive is canopied by gorgeous
deciduous trees, a cool relief in the hot days midsummer.
On this shady side of the park, beside the BMX track you will find a table to enjoy a picnic. In the early morning hours the deer pick this lush green spot to have a picnic of their own.
Past the BMX track the trail veers to the right onto an asphalt path that links with the road that runs through the campsite encircling the entire park.
It's the perfect place to walk with or without a dog.
City Park is dog friendly, though people's best friend must be kept on
a leash and scooping is mandatory. There is a large grassy field between
the river and the campground, perfect for throwing a football or a Frisbee.
The large trees surrounding the park are ideal for leaning against with
that perfect book!
You"ll find lots of parking at City Park whether
you're there during the summer months for a quick swim in the river off
the sandy beach or stopping in to listen to Music in the Park on a Wednesday
evening. The Tot Lot swings and slides provide entertainment for kids,
big or small anytime of year . Picnic tables are placed throughout the
park for your dining pleasure or maybe an escape from the office for an
hour or two of paperwork in the sunshine.
Grand Forks Municipal Campground is located within the
park, a wonderful setting whether you are tenting or have a 40 foot RV.
There are hook ups for both electricity and water and there are individual
site sewers. Extra clean showers and washrooms are provided for camper's
convenience. Be sure to check with the campground attendant for what to
do and see in Grand Forks!
