$10 per campsite per night
Great place to camp very quiet and calm and the river is great for fly fishing if you have waders
WARNING!!!! Bring water. This is a great hide-away campsite with awesome fly-fishing on the Platte, but the pump here and it's sister site, Corral don't work at all. It's important that you know that because just the drive into the campsite from the main road takes 30 minutes alone, then another 30-45 to the nearest water source.
