The city of Scottsbluff is near the center of the development.

The west side of the reservoir features an undisturbed bird sanctuary. As the reservoir is nearly drained during the non-irrigation season, there is no viable sport fishery in the lake. The east side is open to the public during daylight hours from May 16 to Sept 30. No improvements, services, or facilities.

The campground welcomes visitors from April through October, when the park is fully staffed and all amenities are available. Summer brings warm days perfect for floating the river, though you'll share the experience with fellow campers—especially on holiday weekends when the park comes alive with activity. For a more peaceful experience, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons of spring or fall, when the trails are yours to enjoy and the temperatures are ideal for hiking through the mountains.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
