Fort Robinson State Park was operating as a military fort from the early days of the old west until after World War II. Many historical events occurred at the Fort, including the tragic Cheyenne Breakout in 1879 and the death of the famous Sioux Chief, Crazy Horse. Over the years, the Fort served as Red Cloud Indian agency, Cavalry remount station, K-9 training center and a POW camp. It became a state Park in 1962.
Camping will be in the full hook up sites of the Red Cloud campground.
