Soldier Creek Campground
The Soldier Creek Campground is adjacent to Soldier Creek Wilderness to the south, Ft. Robinson State Park to the east and Forest Service non wilderness to the west and north. The 7,794-acre Soldier Creek Wilderness was used in conjunction with Fort Robinson Military Reservation as a wood reserve and pasture for horses and mules.
The campground has 8 sites with picnic table and fire ring, along with at least 3 other camping areas large enough for a horse trailer or RV. There is also a hand pump well providing potable water, 3 vault toilets, garbage cans and a large 15-paddock corral system. Livestock feed is not available and stock water must be hauled to the corral from nearby creeks or hand pump.
Boots & Saddle Trail is 7.1 miles and is accessed from the North Fork Trailhead located at campsite 1. It ties into the Trooper Trail. Trooper Trail Loop is 9.7 miles and is accessed from the Middle and South Fork Trailheads located in the campground. Trail brochures are available at the campground.
