Chief White Crane Recreation Area

20 down 1 up 4g tmobile.

Tall trees and right on the lake.

30/50 amp. Showers, flush toilets, dump station and water fill area. Nice large sites, long level asphalt pads, fire ring and tables at every site. Majority are easy back in for any size rig. There are a few that would be tricky, but the website has good photos of every site so take a look before booking.

The only problem was the other campers. Aggressive dogs off leash roaming free. Barking all day and night. Loud radio/talking till past 1am. It wasn't just one group you can mark up to a jerk, it was several groups throughout the 100+ sites. Camp host did nothing, saw them drive by several times and nearly hit a dog, so they knew what was going on and condoned it.

We took our 2020 NOBO camper on its maiden voyage to this campsite. We loved our spot by the water. We had plenty of room for our pups to run, easy access to the water so we could put our kayaks in and fish, and it was nice and quiet in the evenings. We felt close enough to town so that we could snag the inevitable forgotten items, but far enough away that we felt like we were camping lol. The bathroom across from our site wasn’t open because of the time of year, but the next one down was and that was fine with us. Will definitely stay here again.

This is our 2nd time camping here, but both times were during the week. Summer is very busy here and I would guess tough to get a site w/o reservation.
Our hard surface back-in site was somewhat secluded due to pine trees on one side. The sites really have a lot of room between them which we prefer. The trail was right behind us also. Fire ring was far enough from the camper which is nice. Bathrooms/shower houses here are great! Hot water and free showers. Very clean. There are multiple bathrooms around the campground. Vault toilets are close to the cabins. We rode bikes both days on the great trail that winds along all of the campgrounds in the Lewis & Clark Rec area. Firewood is available to purchase. Great place for relaxing, fishing, kayaking. Nice playgrounds. Hosts were friendly too. We didn’t have a reservation for this trip in October on a Sunday thru Tuesday, but lots of empty sites. Easy access right off hey 50.

We stayed for 8 nights with our 30' Airstream and while we only had electric hookups, there were dump stations with potable water nearby - even a great setup right when you enter the park from the main highway. South Dakota has their act together - nothing like this in Nebraska.

Our only complaint was a bit of poison ivy around a cedar tree on our site. We reported it and they said they'd work to eliminate it but couldn't fix it that day - understandable.

We will be back toward the end of September and will check to see if they took it seriously.

We loved it!
