A nice SP. A good choice in the Scott's Bluff and Chimney Rock area. Sites are well spaced underneath mature cotton wood trees. Sites are asphalt paved. We enjoyed our stay there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Restroom facilities consisted of a filthy, unlit, unvented outhouse. Shower facilities were no better. In addition, Lake Minatare had the worst mosquitoes I have ever experienced (and I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay). If I ever go to Scottsbluff again, I'll stay in a hotel before I stay at Lake Minatare. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Modest city park behind small community zoo. Platte river runs along beside it with access to a nice paved hiking/biking trail. Very quiet, neat and clean. Park hosts used to live in town and take very good care of the park. Some long term trailers that have seen better days but mgmt. doesn't let them get messy. Seasonal park closed in winter. A little difficult to find. Take 71 south about 3 miles from 26. Look for zoo sign, turn right before zoo parking lot and follow paved road around to park. We would stay again. Really enjoyed talking to camphosts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is no longer a KOA, it is now Rte 26 Campground and it is a dump! Do not stay there. A rip off at any price and only 100' from a very busy coal and freight train line. My suggestion, go 10 miles north of town and stay at the Lake Minitare SP. They have electric sites only, but nice paved back in sites. Nice showers and bath facilities also. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Like other reveiers, BN layes the Horn on every hr on the hr. Its not the most restful place for ZZZZZ's Also we are pretty new at camping but I ended up with a darn itchy case of the chiggers :-( On the Positive most sites if not all are pull thru and the owners are friendly and stated if we need more time than the 11am checkout it was no big deal. We have family in Scottsbluff but will have to try out the other grounds next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is right across the road from a point on the railroad where every train
blows its horn to enter Scottsbluff. This happens at least once an hour all day and night. My wife and I stayed two nights and didn't sleep more than an
hour at a time either night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This must be an old park because it is not set up for easy manuevering of big rigs. Sites were extremely narrow and not long. We have a 37' motorhome and we did not have room to park our Jeep on site, had to park on the vacant site next to us. The park is directly across a 4 lane highway and railroad tracks that were both busy. The owners were very nice however and they do offer a nice pool. We were suppose to stay a week here but left after one night. Moved to Robidoux RV Park in Gering which we posted a review for. We would not stay here again and would not recommend it unless you had a smaller unit and a pool is a must for your stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
