Branched Oak SRA

Nebraska State Recreation Area (NGPC), Lancaster County. The park's own page says: "Branched Oak offers an array of camping amenities. South Shore campgrounds offer Full Hookups, Electric Plus and Electric camping along with Basic campsites. Middle Oak campground offers Electric Plus, Electric and Basic campsites. Along with the electrical modern camping, Branched Oak offers numerous Basic and Primitive campsites at several of its campground locations. The lake has five shower houses, modern restrooms, primitive restrooms, dump and fill stations and playground equipment. Camping reservations are available for half of the campsites in Middle Oak Creek, Homestead and South Shore campgrounds during peak season (mid-April to mid-October). All other camping is all first-come, first-served; campers must register their nightly camping fees in a raised, locked box called an Iron Ranger. Self-service envelopes are provided at each station and accept cash or checks only. Campsites must have a camping unit (tent, etc.) on site at the time of registration." The park's own page does not mention water. Assume none and carry your own; treat all natural water here as NOT potable. NOTE FOR REVIEW: our map already carries 'Branched Oak WMA' about 0.58 mi away (published) -- check these are genuinely different places to camp.
