Ash Grove Campground sits within Indian Cave State Park's 3,000 acres, offering 134 RV sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups for $30 per night plus a daily vehicle fee. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission manages this drive-in and walk-in accessible facility, which provides full amenities including showers, restrooms, and a dump station. Reservations are available for campers planning ahead.
The campground spreads across hilly terrain with mature trees providing natural shade throughout most sites. Judy B. notes "lots of birds, raccoons, and terrific spiders" frequent the area, while several reviewers mention abundant ticks during spring months. Back-in sites dominate the layout, with some challenging to navigate for larger rigs due to steep grades and tight turns.
Hiking trails wind through the park's wooded areas, connecting to historical sites including a restored 1800s town, cemetery, and the namesake Indian Cave. The Missouri River provides fishing and boating access via a park boat ramp. Hackberry Hollow Campground — Indian Cave State Park offers an alternative camping area within the same park system for those seeking different site configurations.
Road conditions can impact access, particularly during construction periods when the main route to Indian Cave requires a two-mile hike instead of driving. The single dump station creates bottlenecks during busy checkout times. Cell service and WiFi remain limited throughout the park. Spring and fall seasons draw fewer crowds than summer months, when heat can make tent camping less comfortable.
For additional camping variety, campgrounds around Shubert provide alternatives six miles west of the park.
