Description

Overview

Lake Ericson Campground is a privately operated campground on Lake Ericson, situated at the gateway to the Nebraska Sandhills near Ericson, NE. Run by the Ericson Lake Corporation, it offers electric-hookup RV sites and tent camping across two areas: the Dam Campground (south end of the lake) and the River/Cedar River Campground. The property is well-suited for families and anglers seeking a quiet lakeside getaway.

Facilities

The Dam Campground has 10 electric sites and the River Campground has 11 electric sites; both offer 30-amp service, with a limited number of 50-amp sites at each location. All RV sites are back-in only — no pull-through sites are available. A shared water hydrant is available at both locations. Tent camping is first-come, first-served at $10/night. Per camper reviews, there is no shower house or dump station on-site. A pavilion and playground are present.

Recreation

The lake features a boat ramp (no-wake lake), a beach and swimming area, and a handicapped-accessible fishing dock. Activities include fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, birdwatching, and waterfowl hunting. Special events are hosted throughout the season.
