Fort Robinson State Park in Crawford, Nebraska is one of the best camping experiences we've had in…read morethe Midwest. The RV camping facilities are excellent--the sites are spacious, well-maintained, and surrounded by beautiful scenery that provides a fantastic escape into nature. The hookups were convenient and everything was clean and easy to access, making it a very comfortable stay for RV travelers. One of the highlights of our visit was the horseback riding. Riding through the scenic bluffs and open countryside was unforgettable and a perfect way to experience the park's historic landscape. The staff were friendly and helpful, since 3 of us had never ridden a horse before. We were able to walk the stables before our ride and the horses were well cared for, which made the ride enjoyable for everyone in our group. We also loved having a restaurant right in the park. After a day of exploring, it was great to sit down to a hearty meal without having to leave the area. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. For rockhounds, the park is also a short drive from the Crawford Rock Shop, Agate Beds National Park, and public areas to rockhound. Between the beautiful setting, great RV amenities, memorable horseback riding, and the convenient restaurant, Fort Robinson State Park offers a truly well-rounded experience. We'll definitely be back!

Also, it's important to note that this location is about 200yards from a major railway crossing. This equates to high-decible train horns about every 15 minutes day and night. To top that off, the neighboring community (about 100 feet from the edge of the campground sites) have some enthusiastic roosters.

We spent the majority of our day biking along the 3.5 mile paved bike trail that follows on the outside of the lake. It was a moderately difficult trail that had it's many ups and downs, however, not too bad considering I was carrying 2 kiddos in a bike trailer that made it heavier and harder to do. Most of the facilities were closed due to Covid but the area as a whole is beautiful, and we cannot wait to go back. If you have a boat, you've got to check this place out. There is another state recreation area on the west side that we didn't get to go to unfortunately but our trip was totally worth it. Another quick note, please ensure that when booking a campsite, you know what you are getting. Many of the sites only haveelectric but some had noth electric and water. Finally, if you live in SD state parks, just go ahead and get the annual membership. By the time you go to Custer once and another time here or another park, it practically pays for itself.

We arrived around 4:45 pm and very few at the campground, though as nightfall came, there were a few others that stopped and were mostly out early in the morning. Very friendly and helpful check in. We had reservations but had our pick of spaces. I wish I had taken a photo of the showers - they were plenty big, had a chair and were very clean. This was wonderful for my 83 year old mother that wanted to refresh after a few days on the road. I was on the fence about a full 5 stars only because of the ants... crazy ants everywhere but I had non-toxic spray for the tent and sprayed around the picnic table. It didn't stop them all, but helped. We still have a few ants that managed to find a ride on our tent to our next stop. We all got a few mosquito bites as well -- something we forget about not having many on the West Coast. If you stay here, it is peaceful and the "Prairie View" name suits it well. Had we unhooked our RV we would have ventured into the quaint little town for some food. It is worth a look if you stay. Otherwise, it's no frills, but clean and friendly and will be a nice stop over on your travels.

This campsite truly has it all and then some. The bells, the whistles, the whole train. Of course…read moreit's a campground first and foremost, but the other nearby features really add uniqueness to the experience if you want to branch out. First of all, the camping itself is affordable. Could've been that I visited in the off-season, but it was just $15 for the night to park my van. I could've camped in a tent on the ground, but I have a set-up that allows me to sleep in my van. Either way, the price is the same for them. The bathrooms are equipped with at least one hot shower - I couldn't get the other side to turn hot. Otherwise, they're clean and laid out conveniently for anyone to use and have relative privacy. They have pull through spots great for longer RV rigs, though I assume those come at a higher price because they have hook-ups. A greenway style trail runs right through the campground. I rode a lower-profile tired bike in both directions for a mile or two and never found the end. It seems like a significant trail for the area. There's a sizable river flowing nearby, a pond within the grounds for fishing, a YMCA summer camp with lots of family activities (maybe geared more to locals), and a zoo attached. I heard the sounds of some bizarre birds cawing in the night. There is a steel ring fire pit and cute little picnic table with each site. I backed my van up to the picnic table to help keep my cooking out of the wind and prevent flame-outs on my propane stove. I suppose you could cook over the fire pit too, if you like. The camp host was friendly and offered to stay a few minutes longer to meet me when I arrived. Located just 10 minutes from Scotts Bluff, this is in my opinion the best campground option around.

There is a cute little park across the street with a playground if you have kids with you. We did not use the shower house as we are self contained. The campground is about 3 blocks off Main Street, so a little quieter than the small parks We did walk in to town to hit up Fobaires for a burger and fries- so put that on your list too.

First, the hospitality and management are down to earth. Very friendly and were able to answer all our questions. They have a small store with some basics.. mustard, ketchup, and beer to name a few items. Very friendly. Second, the campsite was very reasonable considering full hookups and pull through. The campsites do share water, meaning one main water faucet that is split between two campsites. The pressure isn't a problem at all. Our problem was that my camper's water was on the front left of the camper. Given the sharing, my original 20 or so foot water hose couldn't reach. Our fault for not having an extension, but we ended up having to park the other way with the camper to hook up the water. Bottom line: we are newbie campers, so just make sure you have an extension. Lesson learned. They do have a cool little lake/pond that offers fishing and swimming as well as boat rentals. Water is clear and they have it sectioned off to prevent swimming too deep. Finally, you are within 5 or so minutes of Cold Brook Reservoir, an Army Corp of Engineers recreation area. They have a super nice beach, and facilities there. You are also within minutes of the cool little town of Hot Springs. If you are looking for a cool and out of the way campground with all the amenities, check this place out!

There is a lot of unique things to do in the town of hot springs. I enjoyed the camp ground having walking trails. Every evening I was able to sit on the hill in a quiet and peaceful place to meditate. The lake is super clear and feels amazing, I felt like the water was healing. There is water sports activities to rent. There is cute cabins if you don't have an RV. There is laundry and a store to get things you need. My dogs loved going walking around the lake and the trails. I felt like I was in a high end resort with all the amenities. The price is rather cheap for what all your getting. The views and the environment are very peaceful! If your looking for a place in the black hills this is one that is worth the drive from the parks and gives you so much serenity.
