Beautiful park, beautiful scenery and amazing playground!

A short drive from Omaha, two rivers offers generally clean TV and tent camping sites across multiple campgrounds. I camped right by the river. Also a short walk to the outhouse and playground. Fun and quick trip if you’re in the Omaha area. My boys (4&7) loved it.
Guide
Nice site for a tent camper passing through, beginner adventurers, glampers, or a family staycation. The entire park is well maintained, has a large lake stocked with fish, tent sites are close together, but tolerable. Occupancy depends on the time of year. I was there in September and it was not crowded at all. Tent sites are primitive. New roads leading into the park.
Scouta great place
TravelerCampground was as I hoped. Empty except for 3 others. Oxbow lake is nice with a sandy shoreline. The campground is set in an Aspen glade. Very nice.

Whether you sleep in your van like we did, or you like to stay in a tree house (they appear to be building one as rental cabin) or need a tent platform, the place is huge and sprawling, with wooded sites and open lawn. Friendly and peaceful and definitely one we'll go back to.
TravelerThe place is amazingly scenic and reasonably priced. But I've been camping in different campgrounds all over the US for the last 2 months and this is one of my top 3 for mosquitoes. Those things are relentless and not at all scared by deet. The only thing that surpassed them is the poison ivy that grows everywhere.
The place is wide open without privacy. Well-kept, clean and friendly.
But there's a train going right past our campsite. I had no idea trains can be this long when going through the plains with several engines front and back. If you wait for it to pass, your dinner will be cold.
And I don't know what industry is east of here. But it's 10pm and they're still running LOUD!
TravelerLove the new East lots. Full access with concrete pad. Tons of room between spots. Mini store on the property to buy ice, firewood, and food from. Fishing, paddle board rentals, and a park are a few things to do. Awesome place!

This campground is amazing! I’ve stayed at 100 plus campgrounds and I will say that this one is top 10. The park has beautiful views and the river is not far away.
TravelerThus has been very enjoyable, the lake and grounds are beautiful.
GuideThis is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever encountered! On a beautiful lake with many recreational possibilities - kayaking, sailing non power boating - some for rent. 10 miles of paved bike trails and ALL paved campsites level and clean! Many clean and nice bathrooms which showers and FULL hookups for almost any size RV or camper. HIGHLY recommended! Nice campsite hosts and nicely spread out campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. No wi fi but Verizon service was good.

Love the fishing , you can do river or lake, but didn't love the staff
GuideMultiple ponds/lakes to fish at plus the river. Facilities are nice and the people in the little store was great and food yummy. Check in staff completely rude !!!!
RangerWith a large amount of active train tracks, 24 hour concrete plant, airboat launch and loads of weekend warriors that travel from the city to camp for a couple of days, this place is the opposite of peaceful. Campground has many sites available (both reservable and first-come, first-served). Be prepared to have to pay to take showers!
TravelerA relative's driveway would've been free, but here we got a level pull-thru spot and the encouragement and advice of a kind camp host as we got our tanks washed through and drained. Slips are nicely spaced apart from each other. The area we booked is very new, and FHU.
LegendThe campsites a close together but the area is well kept. There are several rings you can camp on RV/Tent. There are showers and indoor bathrooms, also there is aplace to rent tubs. The water is surprisingly clear for Nebraska
TravelerNice campground clean bathrooms the trails are really good quiet and peaceful
GuideGreat sites right on the water. Easy back in for my rig. Hot showers were a plus :)
GuideThe sites have concrete pads with power, but no water or sewer. There is a fill station on the way in. You can pay $1 for a hot shower in the comfort station, which is very clean. The lake is right there, with a nice bike path that comes all the way around.
TravelerThe staff was wonderful. The showers were clean. No complaints about the facility and it looked like there was a lot of activities for kiddos. But why didn’t anyone mention the trains? Good luck sleeping through the night. The train tracks were less than 100 feet from our site with train traffic all night long. And the four hour thunderstorm added to the cacophony.

Great spot but no wifi
TravelerNice spot with modern facilities, groomed grass and functioning equipment
GuideIt’s been a few years since I’ve stayed here but I have a million memories of this place. Stalked by a mountain lion chased people out of the campground. Spent easily 100 nights here. Campground has recently been upgraded and heading back soon.
TravelerThis campground is situated along the Platte River and there is plenty of family fun. There’s a playground, a free swimming lake area, a swim obstacle course ($$$), fishing, bird watching, and it’s a great place to just relax and enjoy nature
RangerCampsites are decently spaced. Several “lakes” throughout campground. Park offers overnight stays in several decommissioned train caboose cars and there is a small camp store on site.
