Common questions
Does Sand Lake Campground have full hookups?
Yes. RV sites have electric, water, and sewer hookups, with running water on site. Tent sites are also available for smaller setups.
How far is the campground from the Ellendale data center?
The campground is in Columbia, SD, north of Aberdeen, a short drive south of the Applied Digital site in Ellendale, ND, just across the state line. Call 605-715-7770 for exact directions and drive time.
Can I stay long-term or by the month?
Extended stays may be available, which works well for crews on a long project in the area. Call 605-715-7770 to ask about weekly and monthly rates.
Are there tent sites, or only RV sites?
Both. RV sites come with full hookups, and there are tent sites for those traveling lighter.
Staying while you work the Ellendale build
Crews working the data center in Ellendale need somewhere to park a camper close to the site. Sand Lake gives you a full-hookup spot north of Aberdeen, an easy daily drive across the state line to Ellendale. Ask about weekly and monthly rates for extended stays.
Fishing, hunting, and the outdoors
A small pond on site is a good spot for a quiet afternoon of fishing. The campground also makes a solid base camp for hunters, with strong bird and deer country all around and Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge nearby. When the day winds down, build a fire and settle in under an open South Dakota sky.
