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.
