Holiday weekends pack these 66 sites tight, and generator noise from neighbors is a recurring complaint. Campers wanting privacy or quiet should book a mid-week stay or look elsewhere in the shoulder season.

The <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/northplatte.html">North Platte Project</a> extends 111 miles along the river valley from Guernsey, Wyoming to below Bridgeport, Nebraska. The city of Scottsbluff is near the center of the development. Lake Alice reservoir is formed by two Lake Alice Dams; the upper dam <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/ne01071.htm">Lake Alice #1</a> at the west end of Lake Alice and the lower dam <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/ne82903.htm">Lake Alice #2</a> at the east end.Lake Alice, with a surface area of 752 acres and nearly 6 miles of shoreline, lies almost entirely within the North Platte National Wildlife Refuge. 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.
Site is 9 miles north of Scottsbluff, Nebraska. State Highway 71.

The campground truly comes alive between April and October, when full services—running water, showers, and the camp store—are up and running. That said, the rivers don't take a break; paddlers and anglers find year-round adventure here, though you'll want a wetsuit or thick skin for winter floats. If you're craving a little elbow room, visit mid-week or outside holiday weekends, when the park trades crowds for quiet.
Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.
