Anglers will find bass fishing opportunities at Roberts Tract Camping Area, a walk-in campground within Nebraska National Forest near Whitney. The US Forest Service manages this $15-per-night site, which provides toilets and trash service but prohibits pets.
Campers must carry gear to their sites, making it suitable for those with rooftop tents or lightweight setups. One reviewer noted the area feels "totally isolated—except for the coyotes & stars," indicating minimal light pollution for stargazing. Chadron State Park Campground offers full-service camping seven miles east for those preferring developed amenities.
