TravelerWe visited in May of 2017, and we stayed at Cedar Bay campground site AA. The area offers great views and close to unity to regional sites auch as Snake Falls, Niobrara, Valentine and more. The site sits right on the edge of the southern edge of the reservoir and is close to two boat ramps. There are. Number of beaches which offer good wading and places to cool off. Kayak access is everywhere and there is a lot of shade at each site. Our site was pretty close to showers and had electricity. Some things to look out for are cliffs which are about 10-20 ft high that lead to a drop towards the reservoir. If you are a paddler, the boats coming and going to both ramps give off some wakes which are not a big deal if the wind is not blowing. This is a great site in the Nebraska Sandhills which offers clear water and good fishing.
TravelerNice clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly Camp sites are well maintained. Showers and restrooms are clean Great scenery
GuideWe enjoyed our primitive camping spot here, the bath house was hard to use with kids. No sinks available anywhere. Only two shower rooms available in our area of the camp ground (by the tube/kayak entrance) and one we weren’t able to use due to needed maintenance. We were under the impression we could rent tubes from Berry bridge but when we got there realized this isn’t the case. We ended up using Little Outlaw outfitters. Some things to note : ticks are heavy this summer! As soon as we stepped out of our vehicle I had one on me. Also Verizon cell service didn’t work at all (to call the outfitters)
Overall we really liked it here! The main thing to do is go down the river so for us, one day (2 nights) was plenty.
LegendThis lake is awesome for water sports since it is so large. It’s about 26 miles from Valentine. There are numerous campgrounds scattered offering different views of the beautiful valley
ScoutLove camping at Merritt. Many different campsites to choose from. Walk up and extended stay. Great fishing and boating. The Scenic Sandhills surround the lake and on the biggest hill is always Ole Glory our up every year by a local business owner that frequents the lake. Hunting around Merritt is great too from deer to grouse. Merritt is a year round sportsman’s lake.
LegendWe come here every year with a small group of friends and have a wonderful time. Whether we are out on the lake boating, or fishing, or this year trying to kayak, or by the camp fire telling stories, we always have fun. The sites are mostly shaded at Cedar Bay where we camp and are Electric only, but they are nice large sites and you have plenty of room. Everyone is very friendly. It is usually packed on weekends. Cell service can get be hard to get so prepare those teens.
ScoutThere are so many great sites here. Cedar Bay is always the busiest. Bordeman def has the best grassy sites and is great for groups. Powderhorn is the least used lake access and you can never go wrong with the quiet area of willow. The night sky is the best reason to go here. It’s one of the darkest places in the US.
