Bridgeport NE State Park

Nice campspot more secluded but not by the lake like most campsites. It has a few connected lakes with campsites, boating, swimming, fishing, and other water activities. Cost is $15 per night for camping and non-resident $14 per day.

Sweet family lake

Super friendly helpful locals. Clean water lake. We out in our canoe for late afternoon fishing. Our 25 ft trailer right on the little lake fed by the North Platte. No bugs to speak of!

Locals call this "The Pits"

As a person that's from this area I can say that the camping is nice. I've never been a fan of the lake itself as it's a bunch of smaller pockets of water with the main lake being donut shaped and they allow boats to be in it that can go around in circles. Definitely seems like an accident waiting to happen. Railroad goes right by it so be ready for constant train traffic as well.

Small lake

Clear water, some sandy beaches. All water craft circle a small island. Most sites are water front.
