The campground is really nice. Electric hookups only. There's a water fill station for RVs, but the dump station is closed. (Pierce, NE is 5 miles away and has a free dump station). Norfolk is 15 miles away and has all the stores/fuel/restaurants you need.
The Lake is the star attraction. Just a quick walk and I saw a dozen types of birds, including White Pelicans! The lake is shallow, maybe 30 feet at the deepest. Lots of access for fishing from shore, and a couple boat ramps. There are nine rock breakwaters jutting out to make it easier to fish from the shore. There's a swimming area, but because of the hot weather recently, swimming was off-limits due to toxic algae. There's a hike/bike trail all the way around the lake, and links to a trail to Pierce city limits. A separate horse trail also surrounds the lake, plus there is a camping area for equestrians.
A search for over-the-air (digital) TV channels resulted in over 30 selections.
The guard house is not manned, but the park rangers patrol daily. Plus the camp hosts help keep the bathrooms tidy.
Overall, the park is well laid out for camping, lots of trees and plenty of room. A large playground, and even Frisbee-Golf! If you're tent camping, or if you don't mind driving 5 miles to dump your holding tanks, this is a great campground. read more
