My favorite campground

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. The best spots are 194-196. They are back in sites and we have a large window on the back of our camper and get to look at the beautiful river. Great bird watching and lots of bald eagles. The sites are electric only but you can fill water before you come in. Sites are spacious with gravel. There is a picnic bench and fire ring at each site. This campground offers 8 cabins and tent sites also. The grounds and restrooms are kept up well. We came in September so there was hardly anyone around. Very peaceful

Raised view

Up a hill is this campground. You can see the town and river down below. We visited in March and it was soooo cold. Didn’t come out of camper except to walk dogs. The grounds were kept up and clean. We did not meet any staff. When we came in our water hookup was frozen so they moved us to a spot where the had a heated cover on water pipe. Didn’t have any issues after.

Good water access area

Soldier Camp has 12 hard to get to sites with some lake views. There are loops with campsites and some off road. It’s primitive with benches, fire rings, and vaulted toilets. This area is partially shaded and has good water access

Reserve ahead

This campground seems to always be full with no room. Secure with hardly any shade

Beautiful red hills

Red Hills campground is right after waters point. This area is primitive with benches and fire rings. This area is very pretty as the sand and hills are red. There are some amazingly beautiful lake views. There Are 22 sites and 2 toilets in this campground.

Small and primitive

Waters Point is a small primitive campground with 12 tent sites, vault toilets and bench and fire pits but there is a fire ban at the moment. Not the prettiest area but not on top of each other.

Small campground at Glendo State Park

Colter Bay campground is a very small campground with 12 sites. These sites are primitive and have 1 vault bathroom. Sites are not on top of each other so this area is peaceful

Primitive with lake views

Custer Cove has some super pretty sites with lake views. These sites are primitive and include a picnic bench and fire ring even thou there is a fire ban at the moment. There are 20 sites with 1 restroom. This area is very popular and is by reservation only.

Convent and near boat ramp

Bennett Hill Campground has 3 electric hook ups and 40 non electric sites. The campground has a water spigot, a fish cleaning station, 2 vault toilets, a few shelters with grills and a boat ramp. Each site has picnic bench and a fire ring even thou there is a fire ban at the moment. Sites are spread out so you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. One unique thing is they have loaner life jackets to use for boating or swimming or water activities.

Primitive camping with dry landscape

Elk horn campground is a small 10 site primitive campground with a fire ring at site There is a boat ramp and the lake is very large and very beautiful. There is 1 ADA spot and a vault toilet in this campground. It is a self check in campground

Campground is now Blue Heron Campground

Off of I-80 at Exit 211 is Blue Heron Campground. The new owners took possession in 2021 and it is no longer a KOA. There are 40 RV/Trailer sites that vary from pull thru to back in. Of those sites 17 are Full Hookups and the rest are water/electric. Full runs &45/ night, W/E run $39-42. The campground has laundry, playground,restrooms(which are very clean) and there’s cute lamps scattered throughout. The areas are nice and kept up. There are also 3 cabins with swings, air, benches and fire pit which run $55 a night. This is a good place to stop and can hardly hear the interstate traffic. There are also really nice areas for tents that have picnic tables and fire pits with benches and there are water spigots scattered

One of my favorite places to camp

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I look forward going to. We always get a waterfront campground and since we camp during the week when school is still going there’s hardly anyone there and it is truly a very peaceful place. Love watching the bald eagles. There’s lots of trees and shade.

Large lake, great fishing

This lake is awesome for water sports since it is so large. It’s about 26 miles from Valentine. There are numerous campgrounds scattered offering different views of the beautiful valley

Yearly camping with good friends

We look forward to this camping trip with friends every year. They made it so there is good cell service now so that’s a bonus. About half of the sites are reservable and half are first come first serve. When you get there you must have a nebraska park permit and also pay a parking fee at the self registration box. Be sure to make the trip to snake river falls and smith waterfalls.

Great view of Chimney Rock

It was interesting to learn about Chimney Rock and definetly about how it was taller but got hit by lightning. This is a small RV campground but perfect to stop when we were tired. And definite bonus is they light up chimney rock at night while everything is pitch dark. There is a small pond you can fish at and so my husband did. It’s catch and release only. While he fished I walked around the pond and saw the biggest bullfrogs ever. I could hear a lot of traffic and some peacocks yelping. Also beware of rattlesnakes they are thick in this area. It’s open all year, has pull thru sites, full hook ups, dump station, picnic tables, and cute gift shop with ice cream parlor.

Good place to stop over

This campground is in the city park right next to the zoo so you can hear the peacocks screaming. Says you must reserve ahead of time online but it must be done before 12 hours prior. We need to make a stop because of pouring rain so called the number and spoke with camp host. They said they would send a confirmation by email but never got one. We didn’t get any code to the bathroom or any information at all. Even called the next morning to remind them but still got nothing. All sites are full hook ups and have benches and fire ring. There is a playground and picnic area next to the area along with walking/hiking paths. In the park there is a nice size dog run/agility area. For the price it was a good place to stop for the night but wish we would have gotten some info

City park-

Cottonwood Park is in the town of Wolbach. There are 6 electric on grass and it’s not level. It has 30/20 Amps, 1 water spigot for all 6 sites, no dump station and costa $15/ night for electric. You could tent in the area too. The park is a cute little park. There are 2 picnic shelters, disc golf, horse arena, fishing pond, and bathrooms. The bathrooms have a shower and toilets but not the cleaniest. The pond is actually cute with a small bridge over the pond and benches scattered around it. There’s not much to bring you to the town unless seeing family.

Home if the Jackolope & Everything you could need

Whether you need a place to park for the night or for the week this is a good choice. There are a few down falls like no trees big enough to give you shade making it really hot. It is full hook ups with cable and WiFi. There is a dog run, mini golf, and pool. There weren’t as many campers this year and staff thought maybe because the high gas prices and that Yellowstone flooded might be the cause. The staff was really friendly. In the shop I was impressed that they supported local business. There’s also free internet and computer to use as well as a free coffee bar in the shop. Found out that it’s under new ownership and they’ve decided not to have horse ring and pens anymore. There are a few cabins and tent areas. You can hear a bunch of traffic noise. Otherwise it’s a nice park

Free city park camping

Riverside park is a city park with no electric hook ups. There are areas on nice lush grass for renting and a loop that RVs can park. It’s right across the street from the state fairgrounds and you can stay free for 2 nights. There is water and a dump station along with benches and stand alone grill in the green areas. It’s a cute little area next to the river so you could fish if you’d like. There is a public bathroom to use

Great for an overnight stay

Mustang run isn’t to far from Oklahoma City off I-40 and is locally owned. Also close to State fair. It is at the end of a lane next to a hotel. You can hear lots of traffic from the interstate. It has 2 dog runs,storm shelters,pool,playground, laundry, and nice clubhouse. So everything you might need. There are pull through sites and back in. The sites are concrete so level. They are full hook ups with cable and wi-fi. There are no tent sites here. The nightly rate is $49 but they do except Good Sam discount. They also have weekly and monthly rates.
