Distances are straight-line, so the drive is longer. Internet and neighborhood figures describe the surrounding town — and the rent benchmark, wildfire rank, and tornado count the wider county — not this park’s own lots. The fair market rent is apartment-style rent (HUD’s area benchmark), not this park’s lot rent. Rent limits are not legal advice.

For residents
- Water billing: North Dakota caps water billed to residents at the actual per-unit cost the park pays, plus an administrative fee of no more than $3 — and a park may not charge a utility fee at all without an individual meter on every lot (N.D.C.C. §47-10-28(8)). Check the math free with the water submeter calculator, or read the North Dakota water-billing guide.
- Paying rent: ask the park office how they take payment. Parks that run on Lot Sidekick hand residents clear, itemized rent and water bills.

How much is lot rent at Darnell's Campground?
Darnell's Campground doesn't publish its lot rent anywhere we could find, and we won't guess at a figure. Call the park office to ask. For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Burleigh County is $1,175/mo — that's apartment-style rent for the area, and lot rent (the ground under a home you own) usually runs well below it. If you run this park, you can add your real lot rent to this page for free.
How much can lot rent go up at Darnell's Campground?
North Dakota sets no cap on the amount of a lot-rent increase, but requires at least 90 days' written notice on a month-to-month tenancy — and a park's new owner can't raise rent again for six months if it was already raised in the 60 days before the sale closed (N.D.C.C. §47-10-28).
