Bessey Recreation Complex Campground

Bessey Recreation Complex offers year-round camping with three loops (Hardwood, Cedar, and River) featuring both electric and non-electric sites adjacent to the Middle Loup River, ideal for tubing and canoeing on the shallow water.

The campground provides amenities including vault toilets, seasonal showers, picnic areas, a seven-acre stocked fishing pond with accessible pier, and direct ATV/side-by-side trail access from campsites.

Reservations are available mid-May through mid-October via Recreation. gov, with first-come, first-served sites available year-round; the nearby village of Halsey (1 mile east) offers supplies and services.
