Riverside Park — Attraction in Scottsbluff

May 2024 Camped 4 nights. Bathroom has recently been painted. Floor, ceiling, walls. Clean bathroom womens the whole time. Hubby stated on day 3 that his side hade been blue ink or something in sink but today clean. Sites are on gravel. Our site level. Friendly host went around asking if anyone wanted firewood for free. Quiet. We heard trains in the distance but far away enough did not disturb sleep. Lots of trees surrounding camp. $25 for full hook ups. Not all sites have new sewer pipes but ours was still okay.
