Roberts Tract Camping Area & Trailhead

Your peaceful gateway to the Pine Ridge National Recreation Area! Tucked into the ponderosa pines and prairie hills southwest of Chadron, Nebraska, Roberts Tract Camping Area and Trailhead offers a quiet, primitive retreat for equestrian campers, hikers, and stargazers. Serving as a primary trailhead for the non-motorized Pine Ridge National Recreation Area, this small US Forest Service facility features an eight-paddock corral system, direct access to the 2.5-mile Roberts Loop Trail, and an isolated setting under wide open Nebraska skies. Whether you are saddling up for a ride along the Pine Ridge Trail or pitching a tent away from city light, this rustic spot delivers authentic solitude.
