There’s one good campsite

There’s only one good campsite at this campground. It’s more secluded and away from the rest. The others are pretty close to each other, I would recommend getting two campsites if you don’t want neighbors. The roads are paved, great for long boarding. There’s a swimming pond at this campground as well.

Magnificent panoramic views of the River

Two rivers is my favorite Nebraska hidden gem! The state Rec Park is by both the Elkhorn and Platte rivers, thus it’s name, Two Rivers.

There are several camping areas, divided into “sub sections”, my favorite place is the cottonwood division (not water hookups but electricity ones work just fine! (Water hook ups are in a different subdivision, but available) the Cottonwood camp area lays right on the Platte River and it is beautiful watching the sunset over the water.

Two rivers has several lakes with a variety of different fishing options, though I must admit we do not fish much! The crowd is always there though, for what it’s worth. A swimming beach for kids, and river access when the river is low enough. I also recommend tubing down the Elkhorn through private companies, like “Uncle Scott’s”. So much fun!

Showers are new, updated and warm! Very friendly people and a wonderful convenient store/shack/breakfast store!

Quick Getaway

We live about 10 minutes from Two Rivers, but we do enjoy getting here for a quick getaway. It is popular for tent campers and RV campers, so plan ahead if you want to book online. Otherwise, you'll have to take your chances and stake your claim with a vehicle and a tent. Not sure of the requirement for campers and RVs. There's something for everyone here, but bring your Skeeter spray! There's also a cute concession store with a great breakfast. Last time I was here, there was a drunk buffoon loudly carrying on late into the night. I was afraid of that this time but it was very quiet. Only late night sound was the occasional hoot of an owl.
