We scouted out both sides as we weren’t sure which would work better. We stayed in 107 on the west side and it was nice. There were lots of open sites but it was Wednesday. The flies were bad and lots of mosquitoes at night. Not surprising as the water is all swampy. The trails are overgrown. They do have bikes you can borrow for free... more
We scouted out both sides as we weren’t sure which would work better. We stayed in 107 on the west side and it was nice. There were lots of open sites but it was Wednesday. The flies were bad and lots of mosquitoes at night. Not surprising as the water is all swampy. The trails are overgrown. They do have bikes you can borrow for free to use in the trails which was unique and nice.
Bathrooms and pay showers were decent. The cost is what got me. A little much if you are from out of state. Not sure who wants to stay here if they live in NE.

We arrived late evening and found a spot easily. There was a booth at the front with envelopes to pay the park entrance fee and the camping fee. The showers were still closed (April 10) but the pit toilets were clean. We saw deer, rabbits and lots of sand hill cranes eating in the fields and then flying over at dusk and dawn.

We came to see the Sandhill Crane migration and were surprised by how nice the campground is. The sites around us were large with very large trees. There is also a good size sand beach for swimming. This would be a good place for family camping. The short hike to the converted railroad bridge over the Platte River is perfect to watch... more
We came to see the Sandhill Crane migration and were surprised by how nice the campground is. The sites around us were large with very large trees. There is also a good size sand beach for swimming. This would be a good place for family camping. The short hike to the converted railroad bridge over the Platte River is perfect to watch sunrise or sunset.
The park is an easy 8 miles off I-80.
