Colonial Motel and RV Park

Once we got settled, we were comfortable and had a great time. We arrived later in the evening, and the owner was great to deal with. Before that, we were a little uneasy: we'd called after hours to ask about an RV spot for one night, and the man who answered said we could pay through Venmo. When we arrived, a woman was standing in the middle of the road and a couple of other people were walking back and forth in the street. Even so, we're very happy with our stay and would come again.

The owner has always been friendly and accommodating, and the place is fairly quiet and centrally located. I stay here whenever I visit Bismarck, whether for work or pleasure. I especially like being right on the Bismarck-Mandan Bike trail. I can ride from there to Fort Lincoln State Park or across the bridge to Bismarck, with lots of places to eat along the way. I love staying here, so it's five stars from me.

A reasonably priced place for an overnight stop or a longer work stay, and it's very conveniently located for the Bismarck area. I've used the RV park and would use it again. The electrical service is dependable, the equipment seems maintained, and the campground grass and trees are cared for. There are no showers or restrooms, though most RVs have those already, so I didn't see that as a problem. There isn't playground equipment for kids, and many of the residents seem to be working campers.

Our room had recently been renovated and was really nice, with a comfortable bed, WiFi, and cable TV. The shower is short, though. I'm 6'1" and at its highest angle the water hit me in the chest. The little wall AC struggled when it was 90°, but worked well once it was in the 80°s. I'd go back.
