You could use a compass, but it would also require a map showing the lines of declination for the specific area you are at. The use of the North Star at night is also pretty accurate.

The North Star is always within about 1/3 degree of the celestial north pole. If you need to be more precise than that, then you can consult the Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac (in a book or on line), which tells the exact time on every date when the North Star is exactly north of you. (Of course, none of this works if you're located south of the equator, since you can't see the North Star from there.)
