The falls are wheel chair accessible but you cannot get a wheel chair right down to the water, just to a close up observation area with a good view of the falls.Three gambling ballot measures were passed by Nebraska voters in Nov. It does cost $5 per vehicle to visit the part (daily fee). Since we did not camp there, I will not attempt to comment on that aspect of the park. There are quite a few campsites in the park. There will be other people at the falls as it is a popular spot but it was not crowded when we were there (midweek, mid-afternoon). You can also swim (wade) in the river if you wish. The closest parking is at the park office and it is perhaps 1/2 mile maximum from the office to the falls. You cannot take food or drink back to the falls and it is about a 1/4 mile walk from the picnic area back to the falls. in the park if you want to have a meal and hang around for a while. The water is shallow with minimal current so appropriate for all ages. In addition to being pretty spectacular, the great thing about the falls is that you can get right in them, play around in the water, and stand under the falls. In fact, they liked it so much that we made a special trip back the next day just to visit the falls again. My three teenage grand kids had a great time.

There is a bathroom up the stairs in the admin building right across from the campsite. This one was recommended to us because there's several trees and provides nice shade for your tent, particularly in the evening. It also is a nice big area, so you could fit several tents if you had a bigger party. We stayed in campsite #13 - I'd recommend this one! It's the last one, so you potentially could only have neighbors on one side. There's also a pull-off stop along the river to bring your tube, kayak, etc. Once at the falls, you are allowed to walk around in the water and stand under the falls! It's a beautiful site! If you aren't staying at the park, you can still stop and park at the admin building and follow the trail to the falls. It's an easy hike over a bridge and raised boardwalk. We chose Smith Falls State Park, so we could hike to the waterfall. The Niobrara is a popular river for tubing, kayaking, and canoeing. We were there mid-week, so it was not crowded at all. This seems to be a hidden treasure in northern Nebraska! We had a nice shady campsite right by the Niobrara River for our tent. We recently spent one night camping at Smith Falls State Park.
