Bayard City Campground

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!

Backed my pickup right up to the hookups and filled my water bottles with some of that clean municipal water and had a good night's sleep in quiet, safe-feeling surroundings.

There is definitely noise from the train tracks but that's the west for you. I didn't notice it after a while and I slept with my windows open so there's that.

Hats off to the town of Bayard for maintaining such a pleasant appurtenance!

This is a city park where you can stay two nights for free. You will have electric and water but to dump you will have to go to the city dump about a mile or so away. There are two dumpsters for trash. If you stay longer it's $10 a night.

They say there is three spots but a forth RV showed up and it fit fine and since he need 50 amp an the other RV was using 30 it was fine but they had to split the water.

You can hear trains in the distance but they did not bother us and they did not wake us up. However, we did have the fan running all night as cover noise.

This a a great over night spot. Not much to do in Bayard, Nebraska other than go see chimney rock. A lot of the stores are boarded up and I did not see an open restaurant. But we had a quiet nights rest and hit the road the next morning. I would stop here again if I pass through this way.
