Beginning September 10, 2025, and extending through 2026, Weigand Marina slips and boat ramp will be closed due to construction of the new Marina. Boat ramps will be available at Miller Creek, Bloomfield, and South Shore. NGPC is working on improvements at these lake access points, including parking lot expansion, installation of additional mooring docks and other enhancements. The park headquarters will remain open during early phases of construction; however, a temporary office facility will be established in 2026 as construction expands into this area. This project will not impact camping, lodging, fish cleaning station, dump station and other related amenities.

The Nebraska Game & Parks Commission maintains the right to establish "black-out" dates and reserve facilities or lodging for Special Events and maintenance related needs.

March Swag Camp, we are the only ones here.

We are staying at a basic tent camping site. There is available to us a pit toilet. Water is still shut down for the season.

Luckily, they do offer off-season rates. A Nebraska park permit is required for your vehicle.

Picnic table and fire ring are also here for us.

We are the only ones here in the entire park (mid-March 2025). Grounds are clean. Our site (site 5) is very large, and located on a small Bluff above the Missouri river.

Walking paths, frisbee golf, playgrounds, fishing, and boating are all available.

I have 4 bars of 5G cell service at my camp site. A WIFI hot spot is available at the camp office as well.

Sites on near lake side are great

Pros: Well kept, scenic, fire pits, picnic tables, store onsite, golf course nearby, bar nearby

Cons: Site 32 was a little shorter than the 50' length I expected, had to park the pull vehicle in the grass to stay off the road. Only electricity is available at the pads, dump station had no water to clean out as of 10/2022. 

We stayed at site 32 on Weigand campground and our friends stayed next to us on 34. I would recommend either site. Site 32 was a little tight with a 28' 5th wheel and a 20' long truck. Site 34 has an extended width pad for some extra parking but is just as short. After being there I believe those were the best sites we could have reserved. We ended up at the nearby bar CJ's at The Lake to hang out and it was a great find. I have no real complaints about this campground.

Just Ok

RVs are very close to tent sites. Sites are a decent size. Campground us very open. Sites are a very long way from the lake, showers, and beach. They charge for showers bring a lot of quarters. Staff are very friendly. The marina store has a small selection of house hold items and fishing supplies.

Lewis and Clark SRA

I really enjoyed Lewis and Clark except when I booked the campsite the website said it was a hike-in site and it was only yards from my car in an opened area. I was very disappointed but it was a very slow weekend and only one other group there so it wasn't a big deal. I had a full view of the lake and the surrounding area and it was beautiful. It was very quiet and enjoyable to camp at.
