Kortes Reservoir Miracle Mile Dispersed offers free primitive camping for equestrians between two reservoirs on the North Platte River. The camping area provides ample space for horse trailers with dispersed sites directly accessible from dirt roads. Basic amenities include vault toilets and trash collection, while riders must bring their own water for horses as drinking water is not available on site. The area sees moderate use by anglers and riders, providing sufficient room for horses to be secured at campsites. Access requires navigating approximately ten miles of dirt roads that become difficult during wet weather.
The North Platte River corridor offers excellent riding opportunities with open terrain suitable for horses. Riders typically bring portable corrals or highlines as permanent horse facilities are not provided at this primitive camping area. The isolation and natural setting create ideal conditions for trail riding, with plenty of water access points along the river for horses. The Miracle Mile area experiences significant wind at times, affecting camping comfort for both horses and riders. Sites accommodate both tent and RV camping with sufficient space for horses nearby, though the terrain limits access for larger rigs. No cell phone service is available throughout the area, requiring riders to plan accordingly for emergency situations.
"I wouldn’t bring your dog as I was so stressed out cause mine was running around and getting way to close to the edge. It’s a straight 100-150ft drop. The road specifically is not private property."
"This is an awesome place to stay if you like to have very panoramic views pretty much all the way around you. Verizon is 1 to 2 bars pretty regular."
"Desert lovers would love the mix of mountains and lake. Very quiet - no one around besides a few fishermen’s and the canyon near by is a point you don’t want to miss"
"The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!"
"This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms. Amazing fishing and floating opportunities."
"Basic camping in established campgrounds and dispersed areas along the mile,mostly tenting but small trailers are possible , long drive in ,roads are dirt for last ten miles not good in bad weather."
"It is right next to the interstate so there is interstate noise but it’s not all that bad. Especially since it’s free. There’s lots of nice shade and some areas of sunshine also."
"Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00."

TravelerSuper cool spot with awesome views. There’s a nice flat spot for a perfect camp set up. I wouldn’t bring your dog as I was so stressed out cause mine was running around and getting way to close to the edge. It’s a straight 100-150ft drop. The road specifically is not private property. You do have to open a gate to get there, just close the gate behind you as there’s horses and other wildlife that roam the area.
LegendLarge community recreation area with a horse arena, and several paddocks, day use picnic area, and five or six campsites, with concrete pads barbecue grills, and picnic tables. Community vault toilet, dumpster, an potable water. A little bit of a circuitous drive off the highway through the town of Glen Rock. There is a laundromat near the road to the campsite in Glen Rock. Lots of poplar trees near a small stream, so you had shade, but also mosquitoes. Unfortunately, no showers or ground fires, and a bit of a hike to the toilet from the camping area. Stays limited to 5 days. Free, first come first served.
RangerThis is an awesome place to stay if you like to have very panoramic views pretty much all the way around you. Verizon is 1 to 2 bars pretty regular. The river is a long ways down, so I did not mark this as being a fishing place. Don’t get too close to the edge if you are afraid of heights. Pack it in and pack it out. There are no services.
RangerStopped here for the night and the view is breathtaking.
Desert lovers would love the mix of mountains and lake.
Very quiet - no one around besides a few fishermen’s and the canyon near by is a point you don’t want to miss
GuideThis is my second time staying here, it’s not bad. Definitely windy and there are few spots with trees but not really. The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board. The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!
TravelerOur GPS was able to easily guide us here. Unfortunately it’s raining so we haven’t really explored the area but there is a small playground and it looks like maybe a rodeo set up. Each site has a grill set up which you can see in the picture. There’s also a picnic table and there is water available although there’s not a hook up at each site. There’s also a disc golf course set up. It is right next to the interstate so there is interstate noise but it’s not all that bad. Especially since it’s free. There’s lots of nice shade and some areas of sunshine also. The campground seems to be well kept up. Although we have a small rig After we got here, we saw someone with the large rig with a toad. It is now morning and both of us agreed the traffic was not a bother last night at all. There are people that bring their dogs out here to walk them off lead. And the trash cans were full. We would definitely stay here again.
TravelerThis place was behind a locked gate. The road beyond was deeply rutted. Not accessable.
RangerNice little campground. Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00.
RangerCampground empty during October, appears it is a busy campground during peak season for boaters and anglers. The sites are unmaintained and in need of some love. There is a lot of trash around the campground, beer cans and bottles along all the roads in the bushes. If you’re walking dogs, be careful of broken glass and old fishing hooks. The views, sky and wildlife here are the reason for the 3 stars. No water, power or dump. Has vault toilets, trash, picnic tables and fire rings. Very peaceful during shoulder season, very low traffic even on the weekends.
Kortes Reservoir Miracle Mile Dispersed camping area sits between Seminoe and Pathfinder Reservoirs in the high desert terrain of central Wyoming. Located approximately 30 miles southwest of Alcova, this primitive camping zone provides direct access to the North Platte River. Elevations range from 6,000-6,500 feet with sparse juniper and sagebrush vegetation dominating the landscape. Weather conditions change rapidly with high winds common throughout the area.
Fishing access points: Multiple river access sites make this area popular with anglers seeking trout in the tailwater fishery. "Nice isolated and primitive site. Good fishing," notes John S. about Kortes Reservoir Miracle Mile Dispersed.
Floating opportunities: The section between the reservoirs offers excellent water recreation. "Amazing fishing and floating opportunities. Make sure to get all of your shopping needs before heading out, because the closest marina for restocking is about 40 minutes away," advises Kasy A.
Wildlife viewing: The surrounding terrain provides habitat for pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and various raptor species. "The views, sky and wildlife here are the reason for the 3 stars," mentions Cable A. about Bishops Point Campground, which shares similar wildlife characteristics with the Miracle Mile area.
Isolation and quiet: The remote nature appeals to those seeking solitude away from developed areas. "The area is very pretty but can get windy at times. We went on a weekend and still managed to find an area to ourselves to go fishing and bike around," reports Kailey A.
Riverfront positioning: Campsites located directly along the water provide convenient access for anglers and boaters. "Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water! This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms," explains Kasy A.
Desert landscape: The high-desert terrain creates distinctive camping conditions. "Desert lovers would love the mix of mountains and lake," shares Shirlee A. about Bishops Point Campground.
Limited services: No cellular service exists throughout the area, requiring advanced planning for emergencies. "There is no cell phone reception. But it's all 100% worth it if fishing is your thing... you'll soon learn why it's called The Miracle Mile," notes Kasy A.
Road conditions: Access requires navigating dirt roads that become problematic in wet weather. "Basic camping in established campgrounds and dispersed areas along the mile, mostly tenting but small trailers are possible, long drive in, roads are dirt for last ten miles not good in bad weather," warns John T.
Weather exposure: The open landscape provides little natural shelter from elements. "This campground is in an area with several boat launch spots so it gets very noisy. It is also very windy here with no trees," shares Josh L. about nearby Glenrock South Recreation Complex, which experiences similar wind patterns to the Miracle Mile area.
Bring entertainment: The remote location means children need activities beyond electronics. "We went on a weekend and still managed to find an area to ourselves to go fishing and bike around," suggests Kailey A.
Water safety: Strong currents in some river sections require close supervision of children. "The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board," notes Katie S. about similar water conditions at Bishops Point Campground.
Bathroom planning: Vault toilets are widely spaced throughout the camping area. "The big negative to me is the bathroom situation they're really far away for some spots. But all in all it's good spot to stay!" shares Katie S. about comparable facilities at Bishops Point.
Size restrictions: Most access roads and camping areas accommodate smaller rigs only. "Basic camping in established campgrounds and dispersed areas along the mile, mostly tenting but small trailers are possible," advises John T.
Self-contained systems: No water hookups or dump facilities exist on site. "There's also water available although there's not a hook up at each site," explains Jann W. about facilities at Platte River RV and Campground, which offers more services than the primitive Miracle Mile area.
Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain when selecting a site. "RV sites are extremely small. Whoever was in charge of the website's marketing did a bang-up job, because let me tell you, the reality is a far cry from those picture-perfect images," cautions GoWhereYouAreDraw N. about a different local campground.
