Free camping in Sidney requires one extra step: a permit from the local sheriff's office, valid for up to three nights. Richland Park is a county-managed site with gravel, mostly level sites, fire pits, picnic tables, toilets, and trash service. The park sits along the river with a boat dock and a children's play area nearby. Cell service is available. One consistent note from campers is late-night vehicle traffic from locals passing through. Those looking for places to camp around Sidney or nearby alternatives can also consider Four Seasons RV & Trailer Park a few miles out. If the free price point and river access fit your itinerary, the permit stop is worth the short detour.
