The Best Camping Near Sidney, Nebraska

Tired of driving-take a break here. We stumbled across this campground when returning from Colorado and needing a place to stay over. It is self register at night and the sites are level, on gravel, and clean. There is a picnic table and a fire grill at each site. There are about 30 Rv sites and some tent sites.   It will be a few years until the trees grow large enough to give shade.  

New Campground at Sidney Ne

Pulled in around 6pm on a monday evening in june. The “Real RV” section was packed, but the electric only sites and tent sites were completely empty. perfect for our class b. 

There was a playground and a building which had laundry and maybe showers, but it was closed due to COVID. 

Just the basics

Campground was very clean. Our toddler loved exploring Cabelas and playing at the playground. 

Nice and clean

Stayed one night using one of the six tent camping sites. You either have to self register at the main office (unmanned) or go to Cabalas store and pay.  A nice lady and daughter was waiting on a bus  at the campsite building explained the procedure and most importantly gave me the 3 number pass to get into the bathroom (priceless)!  

Bathrooms were clean. Camp is noisy due to I-80 is 1/4 mile away...u can see headlights at nite on your tent walls. Plenty fresh water outlets. Electrical was the large round 30/50 amp? I wasn’t able to hook in due to no adapter.  Got around 2 hours of sleep. Bring ear plugs. 

Clean but confusing 

We needed a place to stop on our way through the Midwest. We landed on the Sidney Cabela’s because it was easy to get to. The bathrooms were clean, and there were plenty of sites available. We paid $18 with our AAA discount. Site was electric so we could plug in our cooler.

More than adequate for a layover

Easy on and off from 80. We camped in the RV part with full hookups. We have stayed here twice and it is nice to have hookups while traveling across the Midwest. There are sites that are just electric or tent sites. The bathrooms and showers are clean. 

Better than overnight at a rest area 

Good Sam  campground spacing normal with campgrounds. Full hookups.  Wifi. Just off the I 80 so some traffic noise.  Would stay here again. 

Cabellas best!

At the site of Cabella’s headquarters as well as the site of the original Cabella’s store. 

The campground does not take reservations. It’s first-come, first-served. You drive in and find a site, then go to a cashier in the store to register. 

Approximately $40 for a 50amp FHU site with grass, a table, and a grill. Sites are level with gravel pads. They also have sites with electric only and a tent area. Showers are clean, as well as the laundry room. 

Big rig friendly, but arrive around 3pm since the place fills up fast later in the day. 

Note: cable is good with about 60 clear channels. 
AT&amp;T phone signal is poor here. 

Nice campground 

Great easy campground right off interstate 80 with full hookups and water and electric for $30 to $40 a night.

Cabela’s Campground 

Very clean, first-come, first-served grounds for RV/Camper/Tent. Coin laundry services. Clean bathroom and showers. Right next to the Cabela’s store, within walking distance to food, coffee, Walmart. It is, however, right next to a major highway, so it is very loud. 

Clean Full Service Site

We had to stop here for a few days for the weather. Wind was steady 30mph and gusts to 65 mph. Ended up having to wait it out for two nights. The bathrooms, showers and laundry are some of the cleanest I’ve seen. Granted there’s not much to do but if need a place to hook up for the night this will be hard to beat. 

Clean

Just passing through. Basic services, but clean and had security vehicles passing through now and then. First come sites, but plenty of empty sites on a Thursday night.

Nice one night stay

One of the few campgrounds in the area.  Nice that it’s near gas, food and shopping.  Limited full huckup, lots are electric only.  

Overnights only

This campground rating is based on a short-term stay versus destination. The Cabela's RV Park&amp; Campground(CG) was easy to find and we arrived early in the afternoon. As this is a first-come-first-serve CG, we drove through until we found a site (19 with FHUs) we liked. As Cabela’s Club members we got a 20% discount so we walked over to Cabela’s and paid for our site in a regular checkout line. You can also pay by credit card, cash, or check at the little unmanned office on the backside of the restrooms, showers, and laundry building. The laundry room was very clean and very reasonably priced with four washers and four dryers. Along with the majority of the sites being FHU, there are also electric-only and tent sites. They have cable but it’s pretty much the same as the OTA channels. There’s WiFi and we got 4 bars on Verizon and T-Mobile. You are near the interstate so there is some road noise, but not as bad as expected. This is a great CG for a couple of days' stay.

Good for a Couple of Days

Well maintained grounds, restrooms and showers are clean and easy to access. Unfortunately there are trees but none are mature enough to provide adequate shading. Gas and convenience , shopping, and food located close by. Cabela's Sydney store is across the parking lot with plenty of things to browse for. Easy on and off I-80 access for RVs, vans, and tent campers with a nice playground for the kids and running room for your pets. Easy access horse Corral 🐎 for the equestrian motivated individuals. Overall when the trees mature to provide shade this will be a 10 for passing through and short stay campers. There aren't any sewage hookups but it does have a black and Grey water dump. Electrical rv hookups are in each spot and there's plenty of green grace to go around. 

Cabela's Sydney, NE Campground 

Pros:
- solid showers
- great laundry room
- well priced full hookup


Cons
- lack of nature and privacy

Not Bad For Nebraska

Full hookups for $45. Clean facilities and well maintained grounds. Sprinklers turn on at 9:30 so don't leave anything out. Dog friendly but wish they had a fenced in area for them to run off leash.

Great overnight spot

We were only going to stay one night at this convenient campground with full hook-ups after a visit to the first Cabela's.  But in the store we learned from an employee of a side trip we could take and extended our stay another day.  Beware of the sprinklers, they will definitely leave water spots. Cabela's also has a very large parking lot if you are inclined to park overnight.  I do not know if Cabela's charges.

Chimney Rock is a landmark that rises high above the prairie and was a landmark for those traveling the Oregon, Mormon, and California Trail.  Chimney Rock historic site is only 60 miles from the Cabela's campground. A paved trail leads to great views of the rock and opportunity for pictures.  There is a museum on site that was very educational.  We tend to spend more time than most, taking about 2-3 hours in the museum.  It was educational to learn how much weight and what they carried in the wagons as they worked their way west.  We walked the trail first (carry water) then cooled off in the museum.

Another stop near Chimney Rock is the historical markers of Courthouse and Jail Rocks. These landmarks were visible from Oregon Trail. There are no facilities nor buildings at Courthouse and Jail Rock, just a few story boards.  There is about one mile of gravel to reach the viewing area. 

We were very happy to have spent a day visiting these two landmarks.

Clean Campground and a Side Trip to Chimney Rock

Clean facilities, affordable overnight, playground but the road noise from 80 is very loud. If you don’t want hookups of any kind you can park in the large lot in front of the store overnight for free. That’s what the truckers do. 

Overnight stop but noisy

Options for full hookups, electric only, or simply parking in the parking lot. Full hookup ~$40 depending on your discounts. Nice simple town with decent food options. Great stop on the way to WY.
