Wildcat Hills Camping

Wildcat Hills Reacreation Area is primarily geared for day use and picnic outings. There is no designated camping area at Wildcat, although primitive camping is allowed on several grassed parking areas and at smaller, near-level sites along the interior trail roads. The “summit” access road is not accessible for large RVs, vehicles towing larger camping trailers or boat trailers, since the turnaround is extremely sharp. That road entrance is well-marked.

A playground with swings, teeter-totter and merry-go-round is located below several picnic sites on the east access road. Most of the picnic sites are in the North Platte River Valley. After sunset, the lights of Scottsbluff, Gering and river valley farms add their sparkle to the dusk-reddened rock outcroppings.
