We just happened on this beautiful campground and decided to try our luck at getting a place. We scored one with full hookups in the first come first serve area. We were only able to spend one night, but awoke refreshed to continue our journey. The 6:00 pm check out time is wonderful!

The best camping area around because it is flat and there is no leveling of the camper that has to be done. The full hookups are a great feature at $28 a night and with my Senior Pass, which gives me a 50% discount, the price is great. The entire area is always clean and I have yet to meet a single staff member that is not willing to be helpful. I'd recommend this facility and all the camping areas around Harlan County Lake to all that enjoy a great camping trip.

To bad the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission hasn't figured this out and started giving Seniors and veterans a discount on camping facilities. They have allowed greed to control their prices. I'll pay $14 a night for full hookups instead of $35 for just electrical any day.
