3-night stay... i would just say no "useable" public restrooms. overall Gre

Day <1>Lots of spots to pick from, and I could guess why… middle of nowhere, the bathrooms are dirty as all heck and heard from a local that management can be a bit "Tight" will continue to update, ……     

Day <2> Late last night, I mean Late…. we had some company someone else decided to camp at this camp of solitude… granted it is the middle of the week, but we had seen the news article about the campground opening for the season i would imagine that there would be others, like most though we are glad there isn't.  

Day <3> Friday is here and with it comes the visitors, this park comes alive Friday afternoon and seems to be about 25% of capacity, everyone is grilling or fishing or even flying their drones... the bathrooms however are still as dirty as ever and no sign of an old grouchy park manager... definitely a nice secluded stay during the week with a lot more activity starting Friday evening. I would also just say no "useable" public restrooms.

Cheap campground near town

This is a secluded campsite near the town Valley, Ne. It is clean and I believe is ran by the Nrd. It offers access to the Elkhorn for airboats, and other flotation vehicles. There are no electrical hook ups but does have rv pads. Nice new bathroom as well as playground and disc golf. When I was here it was a little rainy, but I would come back. It is only 10 dollars to camp, and can stay there up to 7 days. The river access is excellent and there is a day area that you can picnic at.
