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!
TravelerCame in here last night and the water point in the sites are extremely low for campers and you’ll have issues hooking up your water purifier and other gadgets. The pool is dirty as well. We woke up this morning and we don’t have water at our campsite. The lady at the front desk said they hit a water main and unknown when it’ll come back online. We were in the middle of a shower and washing dishes so we can leave as we’re on a time schedule.
ScoutWe were here April 10, and we were the only campers in our part of the loop. Some roadway noise but nothing bothersome. Just a vault toilet near us, but very clean, and a short walk to the flush facilities. Plus a soda vending machine.
TravelerSpent one night here to break up drive from Yellowstone back to Chicago suburbs.
The staff was super friendly. The facilities were cleaner than other KOAs we had been to. The camp store was reasonably priced. After a stormy last day at Yellowstone, it was nice to stay somewhere with clean showers and working laundry.
We had a nice quiet night sitting around our fire, eating a pizza from the camp store, and recharging before long drive home the next day.
GuideStayed here and June with family and then came back in July as a Camp Host. Electric sites only, however water and dump stations are available on your way in. We stayed in Cascade which is full on the weekends. Great access to the lake, beautiful views of the sunset. Clean showers and sights. There are a lot of bugs, so be prepared. Would definitely stay here again.
