TravelerIt is very quiet and there are a couple free camping spots in the back. It's definitely sunny on this side of Angostura. Lots of birds, deer, turkeys but the lake is down so the walk to the water is a distance.
TravelerBeautiful campground, however if you want to take a shower at their facility it's $1 for 4 min. And if you stay Friday night you have to pay for Sat, Sun as well. Nice spots. Great shade trees.
RangerI was mainly interested in visiting where Chief Crazy Horse was killed. I am impressed at how well the grounds have been maintained.I stayed in Soldier Creek campground and there are two other campgrounds on site. This campground has large cottonwood trees for good shade.
The bathrooms and showers are clean. Take note SHOWERS take quarters so be sure to bring quarters along with you because the change machine is not dependable!
North of the park is Toadstool Park and it looks like you are in a totally different planet!
There are A LOT of trails hiking.
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I was here after Labor Day and most buildings are locked up, restaurant is closed, jeep tours etc are all shut down for the year. This also has a flip side, the campground is very calm and slow paced this time of year.
Cell phone service was usable but not enough to do some remote work with.
Sites 44,45,46 will be where I will try to camp next time. They have electric and are away from the showers/bathrooms and more peaceful area.
Red Cloud campground has full hookups.
TravelerGreat camp spot. We arrived after the big fire. Everyone is friendly and nice. Quite place. Beautiful
LegendRight off the highway only downside is alot of roadside noise thr good news is is that its not a busy road. The spaces are tightly packed around a gravel lot. You get a picnic table and full rv hookups. Power, water, and sewer. Propane is avaliable on site also and full verizon 5g
RangerThis is a decent enough state park with much history regarding the fort. The FHUs are a nice touch. The older loop is asphalt and the new loop is all concrete. All sites are level and all look to accommodate a 45’ MH. But for $63.00 per night (out of state) I expected a clean site and clean grill at a minimum. There was not a fire pit at our site. In Nebraska’s ignorance, they have decided to bill the motorhome and the towed vehicle. Paying the daily vehicle fee twice because it can be driven in the park. So MH owners end up paying either $28 per day or $105 for an annual pass( again, out of state charges)….that ends in December on top of the site fee. Pull behinds and 5th wheels are not charged.
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!
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.
Cabin accommodations near Harrison, Nebraska range from rustic to modern options set against the pine-covered buttes of the Pine Ridge region. The area sits at elevations between 3,600-4,200 feet with dramatic terrain changes where the Great Plains meet the Pine Ridge escarpment.

Horseback riding excursions: Fort Robinson State Park offers trail rides ranging from 1-hour to half-day trips through rugged buttes. "This area is prime for equestrians with many trails to explore on horseback. Numerous trails aren't quite as friendly for hiking on foot because of tall grass," notes Renee H. about Red Cloud Campground — Fort Robinson State Park.
Historic site exploration: Tour original military buildings and learn about the fort's role in the Indian Wars. "On site attractions: History museum, restaurant serving breakfast/lunch/dinner, indoor swimming pool, horse stables, general store, small library. Historical markers paying homage to Levi Robinson (the fort's namesake) and the site on which Crazy Horse was killed," explains a visitor to Red Cloud Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Several small lakes and ponds within the parks offer fishing access. Ryan S. from Chadron State Park Campground mentions, "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."
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer good spacing between cabins and sites. Haley N. from Soldier Creek Campground — Fort Robinson State Park shares, "I camped solo here and there was plenty of space with trees, a fire pit, and picnic table. I had neighbors but there was plenty of space that I didn't feel like they were encroaching on my site."

Reservation timing: Cabins book quickly during summer months. "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," explains Ryan S. about Chadron State Park during their annual Fur Trade Days event.
Additional fees: Nebraska State Parks charge entry fees beyond cabin rental costs. Robert W. notes, "NE SP requires a pass for each motorized vehicle. In state is $6 per day or $30 annual. Out of state is $12 per day or $60 annual. $30 per day plus cost of pass."
Cabin condition varies: Some cabins show their age more than others. Angie G. from Nebraska National Forest at Chadron shares, "Stayed here for an event in Chadron at the cabins and they served their purpose, but they were fairly outdated. Really pretty campground though and I would like to go back tent camping."
Swimming options: Several parks offer swimming facilities for kids. "The park has pretty much everything: a fishing pond, a trading post for basic camp supplies and some food, swimming pool, seasonal horseback trail rides, archery range, tennis court, disc golf, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits, softball field, playground," mentions Susan L. about Nebraska National Forest.
Playground access: Look for cabins near play areas. Ryan S. comments that Chadron State Park has "a nice park and playground for kids to play in" making it convenient for families with young children.
Cabin size selection: Choose larger cabins for family comfort. Myndi C. from Westfield notes their limited options: "Westfield is a small private RV campground. It has 13 full hook up sites which are right by US Hwy 26. There are no picnic benches, no fire rings, and no Shade. There is 1 cabin on site."
Concrete pad availability: Some sites offer level, hard-surface parking. Renee H. mentions about Red Cloud Campground, "This is a full hookup (electric/water/sewer) campground, appears to be recently updated. Concrete pad, fairly level. Picnic table and grill in each site."
Road noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. Leslie B. from Sheps Canyon Recreation Area reports, "Sites are spread out and also have great 'lawns'. Fairly new, so facilities are in great shape. If lake is really low, it would not be as inviting, but on this trip I only had to walk 50' to the water."
Utility placement: Some cabins have better electrical and water hookup positions. Joe C. notes, "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."
