From Interstate 29 take exit 104 to Hillsboro, ND. Turn West towards town on Caledonia Avenue. Take the first turn South on 6th St SW, located between the Goose River Bank and Cenex/Burger King. Drive 1/4 mile and you will see Hillsboro Campground on the West (right) side of the road.
Nice campground. Small and clean. WiFi is not great. Staff is awesome. I’m here for the beet harvest. As you can see from the pics only one washer and dryer are working in the laundry room. I’ve been here a week. There are dozens of work campers here for the harvest and the nearest laundromat is 35 miles away. I cannot believe they didn’t make sure the machines were up and going. I’m angry that I’ve got 2 more weeks of work and can’t get my filthy farming clothes clean.
Campground is very well kept. Everyday they are tending the grounds to keep it clean. Campground showers are honestly cleanest I’ve ever seen for a campground. Everything is very well kept around the campground. Quiet time is enforced. People do watch their speed. Sara is amazing to work with very easy to get ahold of. Laundry mat is kept clean everything would be working if everyone was more considerate of how they treat the machines.
My husband and I lived here for over a year in our camper. Sandy (the mother in law) did an amazing job keeping everything going. If there was an issue we knew we could go to her. The owner Sara on the other hand was worthless. She wants the money but not to do the work. To treat her mother in law as free labour (yes you read that right she didn’t pay her for keeping up with the property). The sites themselves are minimal and shoddy. Very poorly designed and put together. If you want to stay in a campground that’s more accessible go further north to the one outside of grand forks. Then at least you will be closer to laundry services.
In regards to our arrangement with Sandy that was between us. I offered to pay her and she refused. We shared meals with her and drinks and other things. We did keep our site clean. In the year and a half we were there it was towards the end of our visit you finally got the laundry fixed. As for the gravel, if you used the proper class the newer section would not be so uneven and campers wouldn’t sink in the mud. I will say you were nice to work with in the beginning and then I think greed over took you. Both my husband and I have run businesses, we understand you have to make a living as well, you just don’t need to be greedy. All I can say is I am glad we are out of there and I know friends that have stayed there have had the same sentiments we have.
