Butte View Campground operates as a municipal facility in Bowman, North Dakota, providing both full hookup and electric-only sites for RVs up to 50 feet. The campground features two distinct loops, with outer sites offering more space than the internal positions that some campers find oddly aligned. A railroad runs directly adjacent to the property, bringing occasional train noise throughout the day and night.
The facility maintains clean restrooms with hot showers and provides WiFi access, though signal strength varies depending on proximity to the repeater equipment. Cell service works well for major carriers in the area. Many sites accommodate seasonal contractors, which can limit availability for short-term visitors during busy periods. The campground includes a small playground at its center and offers both drive-in and walk-in access options.
Therese S. notes it's a "quiet campground, but many spaces taken by what looked like seasonal contractors." Mosquitoes can be particularly problematic during certain seasons, especially for tent campers. The campground requires online reservations and payments, with a host available on-site though sometimes difficult to locate. Bowman Lions Park sits less than a mile away as an alternative option without hookups.
The facility works well for RV travelers needing full utilities and those comfortable with occasional train activity.
