Well kept small campground

Well kept small campground. Clean pit toilets, no water. Beautiful trees and great birds! We were the only ones there mid July, mid week. Good for a one night stay away from the hubbub of Chadron SP. Only downside is the noise from the road.

Pretty, quiet and peaceful!

Stayed a single night but would definitely stay longer. There’s about 13 sites, trash and recycling bins, and clean vault toilets. Sites were well spaced and had picnic tables and fire rings. Fee wasn’t required when I visited. Looks like mid-may is when they begin. Arrived Friday and there were several spots to select from. By morning, only 2 left.

Okay for Overnight while Traveling

Very close to highway and related noise. Nice campsites. Not really for extended camping. There is one general restroom small building with vault toilet which was clean.

Red Cloud Campground, NE

After the party crowd left from the farthest campsite from the entrance, it was quiet. The vault toilets were clean enough. The campground is quite close to the road so the lights and noise from vehicles is frustrating in the middle of the night. It's also at the bottom of a hill, so you have to be careful where you place your tent if it's raining. We were fine, but most of the sites looked dangerous if you're trying to avoid low spots where water pools.
