Quiet shady camp

$15 a night county campground no hookups with boat launch

Horrible Washboard Road…..Otherwise OK

The campground is nice enough, lots of brown grass throughout the park that if irrigated would look fantastic. There is a base rate for your camp spot the an up-charge of $5 a night if you have an electric spot and another $5 a night if your site has electricity. Using the dump station is $10 if you are not in full hookups, fresh water is available at two fill stations, unfortunately you cannot attach your own water filter to the fill stations as they have a hose that is not threaded and you cannot remove the hose.

THE ROAD….I’ve been on LOTS of washboarded roads in the US deserts and Mexico, but never such an unrelenting brutal one as the one to the campground from the highway. I am not the fly over at high speed guy, You may not feel the bumps in your car but your RV or trailer is being trashed. The road is also extremely dusty. If not for that road I would recommend this park, great facilities, launch ramp, docks but I am already dreading the drive back out.

The bathrooms and showers are spotless! Showers are 3 min for 25 cents.

The office staff and campground Hosts can’t be beat, the very best. They helped me immensely finding a spot during a busy summer week.

Nice Spot on the North Platte River

$10 a night $5 with Senior Pass. Lots of birds, osprey, pelicans, swallows. Our neighbor even rescued a baby raccoon as it floated down the river!

A Hidden Gem

Wow, we were on our way to campgrounds up the Platte River and stumbled upon this tent campground that will accommodate a few smaller RV’s. The grassy area next to the river with shade of cottonwoods and tables is to die for.

Anothe great James Robb Campground

Stopping here on our way from Ouray CO to Casper WY. Clean, grassy campround along the Colorado River. We have seen one river otter and many birds in the trees. Hosts and Rangers are ever present, which is a good thing.

The freeway is right next door so bring ear plugs or run a fan
