    Fort Kearny State Recreation Area

    Great base camp for viewing Sandhill cranes

    Nice camp ground with helpful gate attendants, this Nebraska park represents the conundrum of many public campgrounds. Here, there are plentiful showers (yes, 75 cents for three minutes, woopdeedoo) but no water spigots and few usable pit toilets. There are primitive sites, 30 amp (yellow) and 50 amp (red) sites so no generator noise and all sites are near stocked ponds. A mix of overnight and long term visitors. Sandhills cranes can be viewed in the adjacent corn stubble in April. Limited cell service and no WiFi

    Nice stopover

    Stopped here for one night headed east. Friendly staff, nice laundry and bathroom facilities that are handicapped accessible. Big dog park area for the pups. No fires here. Level concrete pads and you can move the picnic tables if needed. There are storm shelters available in the bathhouse.

    Great place to rest

    Beautiful park right off I-80, very well maintained, very clean, does not have any long term tenants which is a big plus for us. Has full service pull through sites that are all level, didn't even have to level my rig. The owners operate the park and are very helpful.

    Streeter Park Campground

    Wonderful stopover off I-80

    After seeing this site on one of the full-time RVer YouTube pages we were thrilled to be stopping by on the way to South Dakota. These sites are pretty close, but deep enough for my 35 ft travel trailer to fit. I did have to park my truck perpendicular in front of the trailer. There's a playground nearby and several walking paths as well as a restroom. these cell service was great and the camp even has free wi-fi provided by the city. There is very good water and sewer connections as well. There are well maintained 30 and 20 amp connections. We found the site to be very level left and right we just had to level front and back a little bit. if you're passing by Aurora Nebraska and need a place to stay this is a wonderful option.

    Cottonwood Park

    Would get ve 5 stars if there were full hook ups!

    Though located on the North side of the Missouri River, this campground is considered to be in Nebraska. Run by the US Corp of Engineers, there are no state permits required. We paid $16/night, but it’s possible that we could have gotten 50% off with our America the Beautiful pass. I just forgot to check and didn’t think to include the pass when registering.

    The site was electric only and I don’t believe full hookups are a available at the campground. We snagged this site, in what is normally a fully booked campground, thanks to Campnab.

    The site was paved and had an area covered with small rocks where the picnic table and fire pit were located. We had two trees at the north of our site that facilitated hanging the hammock with extended straps and also a tree on the west side of the site. The bath/shower house was a short walk (as was water access) and were very, very well kept and clean. Contractors live on site and clean several times a day. It was a great area for riding bikes and was very family and pet friendly.

    Streeter Park Campground

    Aurora-Nice park and town

    Streeter Park is in the town of Aurora and is a free will donation for up to 4 days. It has Electric and water and a dump station. There are 18 level, gravel pads that are somewhat close together. The sites are shaded and the park is clean and kept up. It is a nice area with a new water park, and playground for kids. There is also new tennis courts and Trails. We were able to get cell service and had a nice stay.

    Buckley Park Campground

    A nice clean stopping point on your journey

    Visited 1/30/2022 & 2/26/2022

    We chose this campground as our first and ultimately last night stay on our vacation. We were traveling from Minneapolis Minnesota to various Arizona destinations for a month RV vacation. Coming from MN in January we started our journey with no water in our water tank. We got in at twilight and much to our pleasant surprise found that water was running so we immediately filled our water tank.

    All of the sites have 30 & 20 Amp electric service. Water facets are at multiple non-site locations, and there is 1 central dump station.

    The campground is clean and well maintained. The camp sites are roomy with picnic tables and fire rings at each site.

    The campground is free, but they have envelopes and a dropbox for donations; consider donating as the campground is a really nice stopping spot.

    There was no T-Mobile phone service so we did not have Internet or Phone service, but this was the only inconvenience that we experienced during our stays.

    We will definitely come back if we happen to be in the area and need a place to stay. It is a 1st come 1st served campground. There are no reservations so be warned on that, but you can call ahead and get a feel for availability.

    Mormon Island State Recreation Area Campground

    Easy access from I-80

    Spacious and well maintained campground. In March, the campground was still in WINTER season so only one bathroom location open and no showers open in winter, and limited water access points, but we had a electric hookup. Our campsite loop bordered vegetation, was spacious between campsites, and fairly protected from Interstate noise. Had a fire ring and picnic table. Several lakes and pretty trees. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful with questions! Don’t forget to visit sandhill cranes in March/April.

    Sweet little campground!

    Perfect for a night stop off the freeway. Sweet little pond with bull frogs that my sons loved chasing after, paddle boats, swing set and sand box. There are hookups, a dump station, and WiFi avail. Lovely grounds that are well kept, and super friendly staff. Will def bookmark this spot for future stopovers!

What campers like

Quiet atmosphere: Despite proximity to Interstate 80, many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. A reviewer at Firefly Meadows appreciated that it was "off of I80, however not noisy, cornfield on the other sides. My campsite has a tree on each side."

Level sites: Concrete pads and level sites make setup easier for RVs without requiring extensive leveling. "We got in after hours and didn't even need to unhook. Level site, quiet (except for the interstate), easy breezy check in, clean, and easy out," noted Jennifer O. about her stay at Kearney RV Park.

What you should know

Some parks operate on first-come, first-served basis, while others require advance booking. Fort Kearny State Recreation Area has 19 RV sites that can fill up quickly on weekends.
