About

Fort Robinson State Park preserves one of Nebraska's most historically significant military posts, dating back to 1874 when it served as a frontier outpost during the Indian Wars. The park encompasses over 22,000 acres of pine-covered ridges, open prairies, and the scenic White River valley in the Pine Ridge region of northwestern Nebraska. Three distinct campgrounds serve different camping needs. Red Cloud Campground offers full hookup sites for RVers seeking complete amenities. Soldier Creek Campground provides a shaded setting with electric plus, electric, and basic sites. Mare Barn Campground caters specifically to equestrian campers, with 59 horse stalls and additional pens available. The park can accommodate RVs up to 60 feet and includes ADA-accessible sites in both Soldier Creek and Red Cloud campgrounds. Beyond camping, Fort Robinson offers an array of activities including hiking, horseback riding, swimming at the Olympic-sized indoor pool (Memorial Day through Labor Day), and tours of historic buildings. The park maintains modern restrooms with showers, drinking water, dump station, picnic shelters, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Half of the sites in Red Cloud and Soldier Creek accept reservations up to one year in advance, with the remainder available first-come, first-served.
