There is not much of summer left here in North Dakota, so you’ll want to get the most out of it while the weather is still warm. Most campgrounds start closing up shop in September, so you still have a few weekends left to get in a camping visit. If you’re looking for a campground that’s a bit different from the rest to finish off the year, here’s the one for you:

Head out into the middle (literally!) of North Dakota's largest natural lake at Graham's Island State Park for an island camping getaway.

Drive through the trees that fill the park for a scenic route, or take a trail on foot. Among these trees is the campground.

The park's campground has plenty of space and facilities for all kinds of camping. There are four cabins you can rent, primitive camping, and places to park the RV. All of this is located in the forest of trees surrounded by lake that makes for a beautiful setting.
