Karrer Park, near McCook, Nebraska, is a charming spot for those looking to enjoy a bit of nature without breaking the bank. This campground offers free electric hookups, making it a convenient choice for RV travelers and tent campers alike.

The park is well-kept, featuring grassy areas and trees that provide a nice backdrop for your stay. Visitors have noted the peaceful atmosphere, with one camper mentioning, “Everything was well maintained and beautiful.” While there are no showers, the restrooms are available, and the lack of fees makes it hard to complain.

If you’re up for some local flavor, you might want to check out Fuller’s for breakfast, as recommended by a friendly local. Just keep in mind that the park is close to an airport and a railroad, so you might hear some background noise.

With a three-day stay limit and no reservations required, it’s a first-come, first-served kind of place, perfect for a quick stop while traveling. Whether you’re passing through or planning a short getaway, Karrer Park offers a cozy and budget-friendly camping experience.

Neat spot

Cool little park that is free to stay. No showers or this place would have gotten 5 stars (for what it is). You can’t really ask for much more from a free site. It includes electric hookups, but make sure you check to make sure your site works before you get all set up like me 😂

Great free stop

Nicely kept roadside campground with grass and trees. Electric hookups (very nice in Nebraska summer). Lots of dragonflies to eat the mosquitoes. Airport across the street and railroad behind to mix with road noise. A little far to walk back to town for dinner. But local stopped by an said we should go to Fuller’s for breakfast (5 egg omelette).

Nice little stop while traveling!

We found this nice little city park in McCook, NE which allows camping and has free electric hook-ups, and restrooms. There are only 7 spaces but the park is well maintained. There is no reservations it’s a first come first serve. There is a 3 day limit on your stay. It was a great stopping point for anyone needing a quick stop. There are trees surround the park and a little river running beside the park. The even had LIGHTENING BUGS !!
