Van's Lakeview Fishing Camp

Great fishing camp

Have used this campground since I was a kid. Good hookups and well spaced out spots. Plenty of shade from huge cottonwood trees. The water level was up higher than I have seen in years so you could use the cove and sheltered boat ramps. Years ago the water level was quite lower and there was no shelter from the frequent winds that can whip up. The camp has fish cleaning facilities, plenty of boat trailer parking, and a well stocked store. Prices are surprisingly low on stuff saving you from having to pack tons of gear or having to make trips to Ogallala. Fuel is a little pricey but you expect that when it is specially trucked in. My only gripe are the other inconsiderate campers who pay little attention to the rules. Things like speeding through the campground or letting their garbage blow everywhere is the norm. Usually the offenders have green license plates which is hard to admit as I have them too and am ashamed of some of the stupidity. With that said, don't let that scare you away. I will keep coming back.
