September 1, 2016 Labor day weekend!

Good evening friends!

Well, we’ve come to another end of the busy summer season here in Decker’s, but we’re gearing up for one more weekend before the kids return to school full time and all that PTO goes to waste!  For those of you that are planning to camp at one of the three first come first serve campgrounds along Platte River Road, there’s good news! When I road my bike down past Nighthawk this morning, I passed all three campgrounds along the way. The only campground that appeared to have anyone camping was Osprey. Leaving Decker’s and heading down stream, you’re first choice of campgrounds would be the Platte River Campground. It sits above the Platte on a nice stretch of land that is covered with Pine and Spruce, mixed in are some Aspens, but plenty of shade for those warm afternoons. The campsites are nicely spread out, giving you a little more privacy then some of the others.   This is also a good area to fish due to the fact that it’s also a “Day Use” area, which means there is a fee to simply park and fish. Most regular anglers to our area don’t like to pay to park!  When you camp it’s mostly your group and other campers that fish this section regularly. There’s not much free parking close, so not many just walk in. Heading about six miles downstream from Decker’s, the second campground is Ouzel. This campground is also along the river is one centrally located campsite. You tend to be a little too close to your neighbor, in my opinion, but it’s right off the road and has easy river access for tubing. The last campground you will have the option to visit would be Osprey. This campground is ten miles from the Decker’s resort, is located on the river, but doesn’t have much cover. If you are fortunate enough to come across a cancellation, you can also book a campsite at the only campground in Decker’s that takes reservations.

Have a great evening!
