Soldier Creek Campground is adjacent to Soldier Creek Wilderness Area and Fort Robinson State Park. This spacious campground has eight sites with picnic tables and fire rings, and it is large enough to accommodate horse trailers or RVs. There is a hand pump well providing drinking water, vault toilets, garbage cans and a large 15-paddock corral system with a round pen. Livestock feed is not available.
