"Chadron State park is located just a few miles south of Chadron, NE. There are many nice picnic areas throughout the park, some big enough to host large groups."

$10 / night
"Good for a one night stay away from the hubbub of Chadron SP. Only downside is the noise from the road."
"Was not interested in staying one night at Chadron State Park. Nice state park, but the campground was a little too crowded for my liking. It was also expensive."
"Close to Walmart. Water n electric."
"Close to town clean rest rooms, Landry is available here . Showers older but CLEAN . Very quite and well managed . Not.fancy but I like it and yes I will stay here again."
"Factoid: When I stayed here I learned that the Nebraska National Forest is manmade! It is the largest hand planted forest in the US. it felt like a green oasis in the “desert" of Western Nebraska!"
"Chadron state park is a beautiful park with everything you need. The campground has full use bathrooms and is well-spaced for fun camping alongside others."
"We're in the midst of a week in our 26' travel trailer along this beautiful 1.5 mile-long dirt Forest Service road 714-A, directly above Chadron State Park."
"It was ok -not much privacy as cars are passing by to the end of the path to watch sunset, walk the dogs or exercise. However the views from this area are simply phenomenal!"
$15 / night
"Access to the park is via dirt roads that can be difficult after heavy rain. Beautiful place to explore, where we found very friendly other campers."
"Short interesting hikes - train sounds in the distance! Absolutely worth it!"
GuideWould've given 5 stars because the campground on the shore of Hidden Lake is really lovely. One star down temporarily as the office/store are presently closed for renovations, so nothing to buy. One of the bathroom stalls in the women's restroom is missing a closure. All hookups at sites are good. It's nice to have a dump hole that's downhill!
RangerBut windy. Cactus around. Lots of birds and no amenities. Judging by the road little used gem. We camped on a little peninsula. Careful there is a 3 foot sink hole beside our van so we tied up the van. Nice in breeze on a 34' Celsius day. Nobody else around. The highway is behind a hill. You drive across the limestone butt dam to access the peninsula. It looks like the most well used spot. There are about 2-3 bars of at&t cellular service. Beware of the ticks. Our dog came back from his walk with at least 20.
GuideThe day I pulled in was 79° but there was a winter weather alert for the next day. Perfect place to ride out a snow storm coming through. Nothing fancy, the parking lot is uneven and would hold maybe 4-5 vans. But it worked for what I needed at the moment. Good Verizon cell signal.
GuideMaintained dirt road half mile. , trash available, no toilet 🚽, not crowded
morning doves. Geese swawks in distance, cattle across road. one big fly. night critters: mice, skunk, mole.
GuideLike James reported, there are two very close sites with a third for handicapped. Quiet little town. My neighbor and I enjoyed a conversation.
GuideAny vegans might find this place too much. We may have hit it at the wrong time if the week. But the hundred thousand cattle across the tracks sounding like constant swarming bees might be too much for some. Or maybe imagine you are 5kms from a f1 gp track. Did I mention the trains?
LegendWas not interested in staying one night at Chadron State Park. Nice state park, but the campground was a little too crowded for my liking. It was also expensive. Stayed at Red Cloud Campground instead. Glad we did. As stated in previous reviews, this campground is clean and well maintained. I wouldn't recommend amy rig larger than a truck camper. Concrete picnic table, grill, metal fire ring, almost level gravel parking spot. Partial shade. In pine forest. Gravel campground road, ends in small loop. Sites not quite level but most not bad. Tent camping posible. Dirt & grass sites; mowed. Some are large, some with some privacy. Single vault toilet, clean with tp. Campground is in the woods next to US Hwy 385. Noisy, especially with truck traffic. Noise decreased about 10pm. Otherwise, really nice campground. Would recommend for overnight stay. AT&T data service good; bad T-Mobile service.
GuideSupposed to be good birding here but nothing special. Reservoir was low but ppl fishing, tubing and having fun. Some sites close together along reservoir. We camped near tent sites at far end of campground in cottonwoods. No neighbors so peaceful. Clean pit toilets and water. Campground lights drowned out the stars :(
GuideGoogle maps will lead you right to the area. It's next to a busy road. Nebraska 20, Bridges to Buttes Byway. Enough parking for several rigs if parked close. I was the only rig there on a Thursday. It's only a few miles from a Super Walmart and a Safeway, in Chadron.
