Review:
Lake Ogallala State Recreation Area is based on the shores of the small Lake Ogallala, also known as ‘little lake,’ compared to its larger counterparts nearby, the Kingsley Dam and the enormous Lake McConaughy. The quiet 320-acre lake is a well-known fishing destination, particularly renowned for its rainbow trout and its protected shoreline that wards off winds and offers excellent swimming, paddling, and picnicking. Lake Ogallala East Campground offers 82 campsites with electricity and water hookups, public restrooms with four unisex private coin-operated shower cubicles, vault latrines, potable water, and fire pits. Primitive campsites can be found on the west side of the lake with primitive and portable restrooms, and fresh potable water at various locations around the site.
