Bessey Recreation Complex

This is a beautiful, remote campground with good facilities and ready access to nice hiking trails in the Sand Hills. Bathrooms/shower facilities are decent but were not too clean when we visited.

The one problem with this place is that it is adjacent to an ATV area. Most of the "campers" were families who were spending the weekend riding around on these noisy, smelly vehicles -- in the park and all over the campground. This pretty much destroys the traditional camping experience for the rest of us.

Campsite was great. I felt like I was camping in the mountains but I was only 4 hours away from home.

Great place, good showers, nice trees, right near the river but those trains.....they roll through and honk their horns about every hour.....all night long.

Bathroom and showers were closed.

Very nice campground.

Nice and clean campground. Well kept and shaded site with electrical outlets. There are free hot showers as well. Only issue is constant train noises.

It was the perfect place for our wedding!!!!

Great stay.

We arrived after dark and left early the next morning so our experience with this campground was very limited. However, Upon arrival around 9pm, 3 young boys were riding motor cross bikes in the camping loop. While our site was a large pull through, the other sites were very small and crowded together. At best, this campground provided a safe camping spot with full hookup in a very rural area of Nebraska. On a positive note, we thoroughly enjoyed taking the old highway route across the Sand Hills of Nebraska. We did not get to meet any of the campground staff.

Beautiful campground in the Nebraska Sandhills. Campsites are well spaced, and most are very well shaded. The shower house is nice but unfortunately when we used it late at night it wasn’t very clean. My only recommendation would be to have a shower hose so you could clean/wash the floor down when in use. I also wish the spare truck/trailers could be parked in the site (if room allows on parking pad.) I understand if the sites are too small, but many are plenty big enough. Overall a great experience and a hidden gem!
