Bayard City Campground

We stayed here for 1 night after seeing Scotts Bluff. It was about a 30 minute drive from there. The next morning, we headed to check out Chimney Rock. We pulled into the park when the sun was starting to go down. There were 3 other RV's there, and we got the last spot. So 4 spots total. They had both 30 and 50 AMP available, as well as a 110 plug in, along with water. There's a free dump site just down the road, but we didn't need it. It smelled strong of cows when we got in, but the next morning was beautiful and the smell was completely gone. It was a great, free overnight spot. 1st 2 nights are free and then $10/night after that. We could hear trains occasionally, but nothing too crazy. The park is very pretty and quiet. We felt very safe there.

This isn't "camping," but rather a rest stop on the way to other places.
We are so grateful for the free power and water hookups! It's next to a lovely park and a cornfield.
The town of Bayard is nearly a ghost town! Most shops are closed permanently.
There is a nice golf course we went to. There was only one other person there.
We went swimming at the pool. Only $3 a person! It was nice to cool off.
Trains go by at various times each night and day.

Enter from Main Street onto 12th Street or 11th Street. Well-manicured city park. Three first-come, gravel, back-in, quiet sites wit water/20A/30A/50A free for first 2 nights and $10 per night thereafter, with a port-a-John toilet, located on southeast side of Park on 11th Street. Sites sloped to the back and somewhat to the south side. New pavilion with 4 picnic tables was across the street. A street light and trash dumpter was on corner just across street from RV area. Public pool at southwest corner of Park with showers in Pool house and 2 exterior-facing restrooms were all locked at time of our stay. There were tennis courts and a basketball court, all in disrepair, at northeast corner of Park. Eight OTA TV channels available. City police officer patrolled at least once each day. Coin laundry couple of blocks down on Main Street. Chimney Rock National Historic Site 5 miles to south. Scotts Bluff National Monument and Walmart Supercenter 24 miles to west. Free City dump was 10 blocks southwest at 298 5th Street.

This city park was awesome. We only saw 3 spots on side of a nice green park. Water and electricity for free up to two days then after that a $10 donation per day. We wanted to pay the city back by buying something but nothing was open. Had a good time in nearby town of Scotts Bluff. There is also a National Monument there. There are alot of trains that go by but didn't bother us.

It was 101 degrees out. Pulled in, had water and electric. Then walked with the kids to the town pool which is part of the park. Paid $4 per person to swim ($ well spent). Next day headed to chimney rock and Scott’s bluff nation monuments.
Had enough bars for my daughter to attend a live online class for 3 hours without glitches.

Loved this free little spot!
