Best Time to Camp at Veterans Memorial State Forest Campground

Summer brings the campground to life with warm days perfect for river adventures, though spring paddlers should check water levels as snowmelt and storms can swell the Platte into a spirited flow. Pack your bug spray for late spring and summer visits—the mosquitoes and ticks consider this lush riverside forest prime real estate too, but don't let them keep you from enjoying this peaceful escape.

4.0 / 5

Hardwood canopy suggests strong fall color and pleasant cooler weather for visits.
