Campground: Bridgeport State Recreation Area
Relatively small but very popular, Bridgeport State Recreation Area lies adjacent to the North Platte River on the north edge of the town of Bridgeport on U.S. 26-U.S. 385. It totals 197 acres with 119 acres of land & 78 acres of H2O in several sand pit lakes. Bridgeport had its beginnings during the 1930s as a sand & gravel pumping operation. During the early part of World War II, gravel from Bridgeport was hauled to Alliance to build the concrete runways for the paratrooper base there. The area was obtained by the Game & Parks Commission for development as a recreation area in 1952.
