Campers arrive at this established campground via paved roads leading to Red Willow Reservoir's shoreline. The facility provides full RV hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it. Restrooms feature hand sanitizer dispensers but lack traditional sinks, according to recent visitors who noted the clean maintenance standards.
Sites include fire pits and the campground allows pets throughout the area. Direct lake access makes fishing and swimming convenient from the camping area. Children can use playground swings while adults enjoy reservoir activities. For additional overnight options, campers can explore campsites near McCook or the nearby North Lookout — Red Willow State Recreation Area less than a mile away.
