What campers say

Lake Ogallala State Recreation Area is a peaceful, well-maintained spot favored for kayaking, shore and boat fishing, eagle viewing and family visits. Visitors frequently note healthy cottonwoods, clean water, playgrounds and helpful staff at the eagle viewing area with public binoculars and telescopes. Campground amenities are basic: many sites offer electricity (some visitors cited modest nightly rates around $30) while sewer and direct water hookups are limited; showers are available for a fee and water fill stations are nearby. The layout is older, so larger rigs can be awkward to maneuver, and some campers report serious sandbur and goat-head burr issues. Evenings are generally quiet.
