Cedar Bay Campground

What sets Cedar Bay Campground apart is its remarkable location amid Nebraska’s Sandhills, offering a serene retreat by the expansive Merritt Reservoir, known for some of the state’s finest fishing opportunities. This campground provides a balance of modern amenities and natural immersion with its electric and non-electric campsites, clean shower facilities, and boat access right at your doorstep.

Just 26 miles southwest of Valentine, this campground caters to outdoor enthusiasts with features like a fish cleaning station, picnic areas with grills, and proximity to the scenic Snake River valley. The Merritt Reservoir itself, with its deep waters fed by the Snake River and Boardman Creek, is a haven for anglers seeking walleye, crappie, white bass, and even trophy catfish. Beyond fishing, the area’s open skies and peaceful environment make it perfect for relaxing weekend getaways or extended vacations.
