Large campground with a variety of spots

This campground stretches along the Niobrara River, so the sites are also spread out.

There is a "family friendly" side, a "party" side, and a woody/secluded area. My group tent camped in the wooded area. Our sites were right along the river, but up a 10Ft embankment.

Lots of wildlife. They do patrol to check for passes and people breaking rules.

There is a concession hut. There are porta-potties dispersed throughout, but there is also a toilet/shower facility near the check-in area.

We went August 2020 and no one except my group were wearing masks. Not even the staff.

They also do tubing and kayaking.

Some sites had tables and fire pits.

Close to Heaven

One of our Favorite campsites evvvver! We visited in mid October and had the pick of any of the 140ish campsites, as we were the only ones there. With a little jockeying, we were able to get the rig out on the point. Front steps of the RV just 15’ from the bank of the Niobrara River! Watched deer, turkeys, and 3 little river Otters right from our site. 30amp service at this site. Probably 25-30 RV sites not on the river bank and the rest two miles of primitive sites along the river of which a handful big enough to park an RV. Rita & Jack were great to deal with and Jack was very helpful. Would definitely stop again if ever in the area!

Almost backwoods

Right along the Niobrara River you can truly emerge yourself in the wonders of Nebraska wildlife. Have to go through a lot of ranch land to get there, but in the end there's no service, no running water and all stars

Hospitable and diverse

There are different campgrounds for different people! There is a separate campground for more quiet people and a campground for people who like to stay up late and listen to music (my friends)! We have been going for almost 5 years know and they us every time we come!
