Williston is a surprisingly lively hub for multi‑week stays — a small but growing city with frontier history (Fort Union, the Missouri–Yellowstone Confluence interpretive center), a large indoor recreation center and waterpark, good fishing and outdoor access, plus enough restaurants, shops and community events to keep longer contracts interesting and comfortable.
Within about an hour you can reach Sidney, MT (≈45–48 miles) and Watford City (≈47 miles), giving you extra dining, shopping and regional outdoor options to rotate between on longer assignments.
