"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!"
"Fishing close by and lots of blue sky’s and fields to look out at"
"Nice place with spots around lake. Not level parking area and no hookups for campers but great primitive site and only noise was the occasional coyote. Vault toilets. Pack it in, pack it out."
GuideWe come here every year for the Chadron Fur Trade Days, and there were plenty of campsites open, which is awesome because Fur Trade Days draws a big crowd. You can reserve sites online but must be 3-4 Days out but we just show up each year and are always able to find a nice spot. Nice main pond to do some fishing, streams that run through the area, a nice park and playground for kids to play in, an indoor 3D archery facility, a community pool with two diving boards and it has a little kid pool for those not yet good swimmers, trails for those adventures and plenty more. You'll really enjoy the stay!
TravelerWas worried I might not get a spot on a Friday night in July. Showed up at 8pm and had the entire place to myself. No ranger and no other campers. Nice place with spots around lake. Not level parking area and no hookups for campers but great primitive site and only noise was the occasional coyote. Vault toilets. Pack it in, pack it out. No trash or sewer dump. Cost $24 for out of state.
GuideThis spot is absolutely gorgeous. There is only 1 spot available from what I could see, and the road is a 2-track where I’d probably recommend medium clearance.
GuideBusy, like 20 family reunions happening at once busy. Facilities have only three stalls and stink. By the road, but not much traffic so it isn't a big deal. Sites 25-30 are the best even though they don't seem as so as they are closer to the road. SP itself is beautiful and full of things to do. If you want to stay near by but a more private CG look to the soldier creek CG hosted by the USDA shortly up the road from Ft Robinson
GuideNice spacious 50 amp campsites. We camped about 50 feet from the bathhouse which had four separate toilet/shower rooms which were very spacious and very clean. We were able to make the trek further down the reservoir and discovered the off grid sites. These off grid sites were very spacious and waterfront. Further down were equestrian sites with large gravel sites and private horse stalls. There was water available to fill our fifth wheel at the front of the camp where we entered along with a dump site that is not supposed to use this freshwater. We were one minute from the boat ramps. Just be aware that there is an additional fee for state parks in South Dakota. We paid $60 for a nonresident one year pass otherwise it would have been $15 per day park entry fee.
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.
