About MEL RIEMAN REC
MEL RIEMAN REC is a public campground in VALLEY CITY, ND. It has 28 campsites. 28 sites can be reserved.
The Mel Rieman Campground and Area is a 70-acre facility on the shoreline of Lake Ashtabula in eastern North Dakota. The campground is known for its spectacular sunset views.
It is close to the Baldhill Dam and within walking distance of the Mel Rieman day-use area, where visitors can swim, fish and picnic. Lake Ashtabula was created by the construction of the Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River in 1944, and is situated in one of the most scenic river valleys in the region.
Visitors can choose from a wide range of recreation opportunities year-round, including ice fishing and cross-country skiing during winter months. There is no shortage of recreation opportunities and outdoor fun in and around the lake.
The day-use area is adjacent to the campground and has a visitor center, playgrounds, picnic facilities, concessions, fishing spots and a boat ramp. The name "Ashtabula" is a Native American word meaning "Fish River," which suits the lake's fish population; popular species include walleye, northern pike, white bass, yellow perch and black bullhead.
