TravelerA great spot with a beautiful view of the North Platte River
We stayed here for a night on our way out to Washington and it was a great spot to stop and enjoy the views. Beautiful mountains and reservoir made for a lovely sunset. Nice vaulted toilet not far from our camp site. Site 5 is very private and off to the other side of the dam from the other sites, makes for a nice private spot. Rush from the dam is a lovely background noise all night. Would recommend staying!
GuideNice quiet stop for the night
We stayed in spot 5, which is on the reservoir side. Nice roar from the water flowing over the spillway at the small dam. Toilets and campground are clean and a great stop over point.
TravelerGood fishing
Nice fishing but the campsites can get very hot during the day...little to no shade in most campsites...beautiful views.
