Very nice campground. Sites are well spaces, green and well maintained. Great view of Scottsbluff. Highly recommend
Traveler
Huge campground with countless beautiful sites. Even if you arrive after sunset, you will definitely find a very nice spot here. The camp host is super nice and friendly. She invited us to go kayaking on the lake, lent us all the equipment for free, and we had a wonderful time with her.
It could really be the perfect campground... but there are two issues to consider:
Still, 5/5, as everything else here is truly more than perfect.
GuideVery nicely run campground and wonderful host. All sites easy walk to or on Reservoir. Trains seemed to whistle through across highway at least 1x every hour until late at night. 🙄 clean bathrooms. Lots of grass area. Locals with their water toys made for happy campers all around. Stayed one nite 6/14/24

We booked for a couple of days to visit Scott’s Bluff Monument, Chimney Rock, and Fort Laramie. Sites are gravel but pretty level. Full hookup site had 30 and 50 amp hookups along with water and sewer. For $25 a night it’s a good value.
TravelerReally nice spot with free camping, donations accepted. Run as if a paid campground and lots of overflow space where there were RVs. We got the last site (#35) on a busy holiday weekend, so happy about that as it was getting dark soon!
Picnic tables and firepits with grate for cooking provided. Was able to find kindling in the trees around.
Bathrooms were pretty nice.
Would definitely recommend.
Guide
We arrived after 5pm so the office was closed, but we found the camp spot easily with the information from the booking email, and our site had our names on it which was great. Walking around the beach by the lake was so nice and we found a fun tire swing. There were only a few other people there and we had a great campfire. The bathrooms weren’t great but overall a good spot!
Guide
Full hookups for $45. Clean facilities and well maintained grounds. Sprinklers turn on at 9:30 so don't leave anything out. Dog friendly but wish they had a fenced in area for them to run off leash.
GuidePros:
Cons
TravelerWell maintained grounds, restrooms and showers are clean and easy to access. Unfortunately there are trees but none are mature enough to provide adequate shading. Gas and convenience , shopping, and food located close by. Cabela's Sydney store is across the parking lot with plenty of things to browse for. Easy on and off I-80 access for RVs, vans, and tent campers with a nice playground for the kids and running room for your pets. Easy access horse Corral 🐎 for the equestrian motivated individuals. Overall when the trees mature to provide shade this will be a 10 for passing through and short stay campers. There aren't any sewage hookups but it does have a black and Grey water dump. Electrical rv hookups are in each spot and there's plenty of green grace to go around.

-Unlevel sites
My friends and I stayed here for a night as we were headed out towards Yellowstone. The owner was great and one of the employees helped make an extra accommodation for us since all of the spots were full. We stayed in June of 2023 and as of that time they were still in the process of hooking electricity up to about 20 or so new sites. He mentioned putting a stage in as well for entertainment. I think this is going to be a great place to stay once he has everything completed.
GuideReally easy campsite off of I-80. Easy to navigate in the dark and flat dirt roads (Masada CX-5). The lake is a hot spot for many different birds and a beaver so no shortage of wildlife. The trains kept me awake until 10:30 and started again at 6am. The campsites that I saw all have picnic tables, fire pits, and BBQ. I felt very safe as a solo female.
The wildlife make dealing with the train worth it, would stay again.
GuideVery large sites, spaced well away from neighbors. Grounds are meticulously kept. Would have stayed here longer, but it was 100 degrees in the shade!
LegendThis campground rating is based on a short-term stay versus destination. The Cabela's RV Park& Campground(CG) was easy to find and we arrived early in the afternoon. As this is a first-come-first-serve CG, we drove through until we found a site (19 with FHUs) we liked. As Cabela’s Club members we got a 20% discount so we walked over to Cabela’s and paid for our site in a regular checkout line. You can also pay by credit card, cash, or check at the little unmanned office on the backside of the restrooms, showers, and laundry building. The laundry room was very clean and very reasonably priced with four washers and four dryers. Along with the majority of the sites being FHU, there are also electric-only and tent sites. They have cable but it’s pretty much the same as the OTA channels. There’s WiFi and we got 4 bars on Verizon and T-Mobile. You are near the interstate so there is some road noise, but not as bad as expected. This is a great CG for a couple of days' stay.

I arrived late last night to chimney rock completely lit up. Very beautiful. Spots are fairly small but quiet. Frequent train, if that bothers you. Nice easy to hook up and pull through spot.
ScoutOne of the few campgrounds in the area. Nice that it’s near gas, food and shopping. Limited full huckup, lots are electric only.
TravelerWe had a wonderful stay here. My husband had never seen Chimney Rock, and I had never seen Chimney Rock lit up at night. All I have to say is Wow! Mosquitoes are hungry here! Be prepared for that. The owner and his wife are so nice, ice cream is great! Quick drive to see Chimney Rock closer and a few trails to hike if you like. Visitors Center is 2 min away. We got groceries in Bridgeport. Nice town with a big gas station with diesel and def. We would stay here again. 41 foot Fifth Wheel. Plenty of room for our rig, pull thru which my husband likes.
ScoutWe stayed overnight with no issue. Roads were fine for our class A. Two turnarounds and spacious spots available.
TravelerNice, quiet park with roomy campsites. Nice grass, large trees providing some shade depending on sun location. Bunnies. Nice view of rock formations. Trains heard in the distance. Not sure about bathroom cleanliness as we didn't use them. Spots are semi level. Not many people here.

Hidden gem! This quiet little park is nestled back in a residential area and backs up to beautiful farmland. Three electrical/water sites are located on gravel across from the City park. The park has lush green grass, trees, small playground and pool. You can stay two nights for free, additional nights for a fee. The town of Bayard has very little to offer. Many of the businesses have closed down. This campground is great for visiting nearby Chimney Rock and Scott’s Bluff National Monument.

I was charged $50 for this below average electric only hookup for my truck camper. There is a county RV park about two miles away that has full hookups with a bath house and nice spacing for less money. There is an area on their corn farm where they added some gravel and three 50 amp connections. Apparently, they offer boondocking on the prairie above the farm, but I was not offered that. They did a mediocre job of preparing the sites and they are just not very attractive. See photos. Their website says they can accommodate a big rig, but I would not drive one into such a tight space. Lisa the host was very gracious and accommodating but I would not return because of the lack of value in their pricing.
LegendIt was interesting to learn about Chimney Rock and definetly about how it was taller but got hit by lightning. This is a small RV campground but perfect to stop when we were tired. And definite bonus is they light up chimney rock at night while everything is pitch dark. There is a small pond you can fish at and so my husband did. It’s catch and release only. While he fished I walked around the pond and saw the biggest bullfrogs ever. I could hear a lot of traffic and some peacocks yelping. Also beware of rattlesnakes they are thick in this area. It’s open all year, has pull thru sites, full hook ups, dump station, picnic tables, and cute gift shop with ice cream parlor.
LegendThis campground is in the city park right next to the zoo so you can hear the peacocks screaming. Says you must reserve ahead of time online but it must be done before 12 hours prior. We need to make a stop because of pouring rain so called the number and spoke with camp host. They said they would send a confirmation by email but never got one. We didn’t get any code to the bathroom or any information at all. Even called the next morning to remind them but still got nothing. All sites are full hook ups and have benches and fire ring. There is a playground and picnic area next to the area along with walking/hiking paths. In the park there is a nice size dog run/agility area. For the price it was a good place to stop for the night but wish we would have gotten some info
GuidePulled in and found the office, found our reservation off the wall & made our way to our camping spot! Beautiful place….LOVED OUR VIEW!!
ScoutWe stayed for just one night. It was pretty nice, quiet place. It’s about a 7 minute drive from Black Canyon. The spot we choose was by the highway but didn’t keep us awake at night.
GuideWe loved this experience, which is more than just camping. Lisa was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The prairie is beautiful and the views of the bluff are spectacular! Horses and cows roam. Camping is in an open prairie…plenty of space. Port-o-potty is very clean and convenient. Water is available…cool fresh well water. Truly a magical spot!!!! Shhh…it’s amazing!

This was a great little campground for a one night stop on the way to Colorado . Campground was clean and looks maintained . It was empty for us , however there are a limited number of established campsites . This campground has some great views and a few hiking trails . It sits behind the local gun range but there was no noise , and it’s set back far enough from the road so there zero traffic noise
Guide
Grounds just outside of Alliance off Hwy2. Quiet area, grounds maintained nicely with trees in most lots. Owner is very nice and a pleasure to talk to. Assisted with getting 40’ class A into spot. Full hook-ups in all sites. 30/50 amp. Overall nice place to stay a few days.
