"Peaceful"

No trains. planes, road, ATV noise. Great Cell connection. A bit tricky to find as there is no sign (a post with a marker missing - there's a fish and wild life board after a cattle crossing) at about 2mi east past the state park. Sharp left off... Read more

"It's a rest stop"

"watching the river roll by"

I found one obvious camp site but otherwise a narrow dirt road in with only a few places to pull off or turn around. Wouldn't suggest it for a trailer. All by myself right next to a channel of the North Platte slipping by at 5 knots. If the river... Read more

"Lake side"

OK for half off senior price. Popular with fisher people. Nice lake side views. If you do not already have a reservation, even though there was a person at the entrance box, you must go on line to reserve a spot (they do tell you what's available... Read more

"Rocky hills to climb around or buzz around in your ATV which is common. "

Reader board sign of a week ago (facing away from the entrance from US95) says "State Property...No Camping". No one chasing us out yet. Third hand, I hear this is to be a staging area starting 3/2013 for expansion of US95

"Cacti-licious"

What difference a bit of elevation makes from the seemingly drab Sonoran desert. Return visit from when Mar 5, 2020, the National parks kicked us out and shut down for Covid. Reasonably spaced level paved pads for some privacy (all drive thru, I... Read more
