Nice Spot on the North Platte River

I would rate this higher than any dispersed campground. Well maintained campsites with new covered tables and leveled site for tents at each. Pit toilets were very clean with plenty of toilet paper. A hidden gem and a bargain at $10 a night 

Quiet and well maintained campground 

Quiet, not many people this late in the season.  Just a little off the path.  Very peaceful listening to the river current trickling by.  Highly recommend.  ￼

A QUICK TRIP OUT OF TOWN

I stayed here in late September and it was pretty busy, most or all of the sites were taken. I stayed in site 1, which I think is the most level. I was able to get perfectly level without any blocks. The pit toilets are on the other side of the campground from site 1, it's about a two minute walk. They were clean and usable. There is a dumpster by the bathrooms.

  

It's very dry here, not much green. There are a lot of flies and other bugs but none of them bit me. The river is beautiful but it is a ways down from the campsites. It's kind of a rough path to get down close to it. Several fisherman were doing it though.

  

I don't think there are any rules about generators, I noticed one camper seemed to be running theirs almost 24 hours a day.

  

The picnic tables and fire rings are in great shape. Each picnic table has a shade shelter over it.

  

I had great speeds from AT&amp;T and Verizon here. My T-mobile device roamed onto AT&amp;T and had a great signal but was slow.

  

There is another campground closer to the main road called Gray Reef Reservoir, I checked that one out too and it is very similar. But I prefer this one (Pete's Draw), mainly due to the site layout.

  

This is a great campground for an overnight, but you probably wouldn't stay longer unless you love to fish.
