As of the Summer of 2019 the Bridgeport State Recreation area is now privately owned but new owners/people seem to care and are in process of several improvements. First improvement I witnessed this past Summer was the demolition of ancient outhouses. Until the construction of new outhouses are done, portapotties have replaced outhouses temporarily. Beautiful lake that is secluded by all the breathtaking trees making it easy to enjoy nature. It is an ideal location to "unplug" from our electronic world ornget away for a few days in a tent, RV or camper. There are plenty of camping spots on or off the lake for tents and campers. Enjoy an afternoon outdoors swimming, fishing, boating, exploring, birdwatching, walking, etc. Fishing spots are spread throughout the area on five different lakes. If you're experienced and conditions are favorable, there is an access point to the North Platte River in the Northwest corner, by the railroad bridge. There are so many more fantastic adventures to experience so go and explore!

Crystal clear water, great water temperature, great night skies! Very quiet at night except for trains blowing the horn in the late and early hours, fishing is good, i own a 28' boat so water surface is not really much for large fast boats or bow riders, even kinda small for jet skis but, a wonderful place to get away if you are ok with not alot of boating surface and going in a clockwise circle. Great atmosphere and sandy beaches! Will visit again to camp and fish and ski but won't bring boat. The swimming right at the campsite was amazing! Not a disappointment at all!!!

We chose to come here to watch the eclipse, and it was a great choice! It is absolutely beautiful here! It was not to crowded either. But be aware of one thing.... tiny little leaches in the lake. They were smaller then the width of my fingernail. We had to take or dogs to a dog wash after because they had quite a few, but none on us. Still worth it though.

Was always great to go camping till my friends and I went out to hang and have a campfire. Two of my friends cake running back from collecting firewood and they were terrified. They saw a poltergeist that took the form of a young girl whose face was torn and shredded. One of them decided to go back over there because we needed wood. His twin brother and I went out to find him after he failed to return in under an hour. We found him passed out wrapped around a tree branch ten feet up. We got him down and returned to camp. When he woke up, he wasn't hinself. He was being possessed by the poltergeist. He tried to kill his brother 6 times and we managed to knock him out after two hours of trying to keep him restrained. When he woke up he was back to normal but the poltergeist followed us back to my friends house. Their father used some church ordained holy water on him and he screamed in agony, however, after he drank some we no longer had any issues. We now know to keep spiritual or religious symbols on our persons when we go...
