Steer Creek Campground

This is a quiet, no frills campground. There is a hand water pump in the middle of the campground, but otherwise no amenities. No electricity, no dump station. As other reviews have said, there are bugs, but we didn't find them particularly oppressive compared to other areas of the country.

There is a hand water pump in the middle of the campground, but otherwise no amenities. No electricity, no dump station. As other reviews have said, there are bugs, but we didn't find them particularly oppressive compared to other areas of the country. Many people tent camp here, but it will accommodate RVs of up to 40 feet in length depending on which campsite you use. The grounds are not well attended. There is long grass, and tree limbs are not trimmed well along the road (so you will potentially scratch your vehicle). The campground sits under mature pines (many of which are unfortunately starting to die). There are two hikijg trails off the campground, but neither was mowed. The campground does have some firewood on the ground that you can scavenge, but note that we did not find any firewood bundles available. Cost to camp is $15/night on the honor system. Note that we did see a ranger while we are there, so you should strongly consider paying and avoid any fines. Campground is first come first serve, but we found the campground no more than 20% occupied during weekdays during late June.

Remote. Quiet. Mostly vacant. They had been taking out a lot of old dead pines before we got there, so they had a big debris pile to deal with and some cleanup, but it's nice to see they're doing needed maintenance.

Quiet. Mostly vacant. They had been taking out a lot of old dead pines before we got there, so they had a big debris pile to deal with and some cleanup, but it's nice to see they're doing needed maintenance. We had a stormy but good nights sleep here during a bikepacking trip in western Nebraska. The pit toilets were pretty clean and didn't stink, and the water from the hand pump tasted clean and was easy to pump up. If you want amenities, this isn't it. If you want a peaceful place to camp in the Sandhills that isn't crowded, this just might be the ticket.

If alone and quiet are your goal while camping in a public campground, this is your place. It seems to be off the beaten path. The hand pump well works perfectly and the vault toilet is newer and in very good condition. There is also ample off trial hiking and wildlife viewing available. However, mountain biking is challenging in the loose sand that exists throughout the region. Really, for $5 per...

However, mountain biking is challenging in the loose sand that exists throughout the region. Really, for $5 per night, it is a great place to stay for a few days.
