Beautiful campground

Reservation highly recommended, we got super lucky and was given a spot that had been recently cancelled. Decent facilities, pay showers. The reservoir was beautiful, for the middle of nowhere Nebraska :)

Beautiful Lake

Great Lake! The camping is okay. There’s not a lot of trees, so you’re just kinda out in the open. The showers/bathrooms were really clean.
