Red Cloud Campground — Fort Robinson State Park

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Equestrians and history enthusiasts find extensive trail networks and preserved military buildings at Red Cloud Campground within Fort Robinson State Park. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission operates this full-hookup facility featuring concrete pads, picnic tables, and grills at each site. Sites offer a mixture of shade and open areas with decent spacing between spots.

The campground provides two loops—an older asphalt section and newer concrete sites that accommodate RVs up to 45 feet. Bathhouses with showers serve the area, though some sites lack fire pits. Tall grass on many trails makes hiking challenging, but several scenic drives showcase the local landscape. On-site amenities include a history museum, restaurant, indoor pool, and horse stables, with historical markers commemorating the fort's military past and Crazy Horse's death site.

Visitors often highlighted the level, full-hookup sites and recently updated facilities at this historic fort location. However, several guests reported concerns about high fees and additional vehicle charges for out-of-state campers.

For Out-of-State Visitors with a MH and Towed… Over Priced.

This 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.

Newer campground in historic location

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. Few trees, mixture of shade and non shade sites. Decent amount of space between sites. Bathrooms and showers are available near the partial hookup campground. Good Verizon cell coverage. Campground is on site of old Fort Robinson. The old barracks and post buildings are available to reserve and stay in. 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. There are a couple of scenic roads (1 unpaved/washboardy; 1 paved on canyon road) to drive and see local landscape. 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.

Fort Robinson Red Cloud Campground

Nice campground. 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.
