Gilbert-Baker WMA

Once over the Rocky Mountains the terrain, traveling east into Nebraska, is rolling grasslands so we were happy to see an actual forest when as we drove north to Gilbert Baker from US 20. The camping area has two sections. The first is a large grassy field with a few tables and vault toilets. Continue down the hill to the second area where the gravel road ends in a large turn around loop. There are three or four sites with fire rings and tables. A water pump provides good drinking water. 

Camping is free and permitted at Nebraska Wildlife Management Areas for 14 days within any 30 day period unless otherwise prohibited. Rules

The ground is hard packed so rolling is fairly easy.

The road from US 20 is paved. The campground road is gravel and in good condition. Any size RV will fit in the campground. 

This is a pretty area and a nice campground but we won't stay here again in the summer because we were attacked by some type of no see um mites. We had many itchy bites that lasted for about five days but we couldn't see what was biting us. They must have been the same bugs that bit us at Two Leggings Fishing Access in Montana. Fortunately this was only our second experience with no see ums. Not something we want to repeat again! Campground    42.76684, -103.92766

  1. Ugh -- I'm one of the unfortunate people that no-see-ums love and I suffer, so I'd skip this campground, even if it is pretty!
