Review: Mormon Island State Recreation Area

Lovely campsites and clean facilities make Mormon Island a delightful destination. Tent sites are generously spaced, and have ample trees for shade and hammock-tying purposes. Grills and firepits are included at each site. A small branch of the Platte River runs along many of the tent sites, affording ample opportunities for bird and wildlife watching and admiration of native wildflowers. Noise from the nearby interstate is more pronounced at night, but the scenery and convenience far outweigh this minor distraction. Can't wait to return.
