Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Beatrice, NE

253 Reviews

Riverside Park campground provides convenient pet-friendly camping with full hookup RV sites and tent camping areas in Beatrice. The concrete pads accommodate large fifth wheels while offering water and electric hookups for $20 per night. Dogs are welcome throughout the park, which features a paved walk/bike path along the river perfect for pet exercise. Chautauqua Park Campground also accepts pets with 20 camping sites including three pull-through spots primarily designed for RVs and vans rather than tenting. The camp hosts maintain clean facilities with bathrooms that, while basic, are well-kept. The park remains quiet after dark with minimal light pollution, creating an ideal environment for stargazing with pets.

Several pet-friendly camping options surround Beatrice within a short drive. Rockford Lake State Recreation Area permits dogs throughout the campground and offers beautiful lakefront sites where pets can enjoy the shoreline. The dispersed camping areas provide more privacy for those concerned about dog interactions with other campers. Big Indian Recreation Area offers exceptional value with pet-friendly sites at just $5 for dry camping and $10 for electric hookups. The lake trail circling the water provides several miles of walking opportunities for dogs, and the quiet atmosphere after 10 PM ensures peaceful nights. Village of Diller Park allows pets and offers a small-town camping experience with nearby walking opportunities to the village's main street. All area campgrounds require pets to be leashed when outside the camper, and owners should bring waste bags as pet stations are limited.

    Branched Oak Lake State Rec Area

    Great getaway weekend

    My first time camping in Nebraska. Ive been to several throughout the US. Loved the spot, I was right next to the lake, great swimming access. Downside drinking water access was difficult.

    Marysville City Park

    Sweet stop

    Pretty good place to stop. Only stayed for one night. Cute dog park close by. Close tiny human park. Pool close by, it was closed when we were there. Cute places to eat short drive away. You can tent with or without power. Has water and electric hook ups on a couple spots. On certain spots they have one of each, or none. Has Bathrooms, no showers. It’s free to stop here!! They have donation box which I hope you donate so they can keep this place going.

    Camp A Way Campground

    Nice park

    Stayed here for a week over 4th of July, 2020 amid COVID19 restrictions. Lots of shade, though some sites are full sun. Great dog park: large, secure and shaded. Play ground, basketball, pool, family activities. Very clean restrooms. Good camp store with decent prices. Easy access to Omaha.

    Camp A Way Campground

    Great Location... Very Crowded!

    This was a great location to explore different areas but it is a very crowded location. Some people like that and visiting with everyone.  That is not for me.  The campground is well maintained, the staff is friendly and our dogs enjoyed the dog park on the property.

    Camp A Way Campground

    Awesome

    The park is well kept, the sites have plenty of space to them so you don’t feel like you’re on top of someone else’s camper. There’s playgrounds and a pool, a dog park, basketball court and disc golf. The nicest park we’ve stayed at for sure.

    Chautauqua Park Campground

    Nice spot for a night

    This park campground was a great stop for a night as we drove through Nebraska. Safe, clean, and nearly full by the time we parked early-evening on a Friday. Beatrice's website says "20 camping sites (3 pull-through)" and I would consider these to be geared toward RVs/vans, not so much toward tenting.

    Camp A Way Campground

    Nice place with one flaw

    This is our first camping trip in a tent. We love the energy here. You can tell the owners keep everything impeccable. The bathrooms were super clean and have locks with code to keep them safe. The shower head could use replacing, but it was a hot shower, so we appreciate it. This place has tons for kids to do. There is a hand-built playground, basketball court, slip n slide, dog park, bounce stuff for kids. We booked hoping we could use the spa, only to find out when we got here, no kids under 5 can use it. We have a 3 year old, so we had to pass. The trees are really pretty and their are cute squirrels running around. Its pretty quiet at night from other campers HOWEVER the highway is so close you can see the cars going by. Its extremely loud and constant highway sounds. If you are in a camper or RV, it probably doesn't make much difference, but in a tent, it took away a bit of the magic of camping for us. Obviously this is nothing the owners can change.

    All in all 4 out of 5 because it was a beautiful and well kept campground.

    Lancaster Event Center

    Great if Attending an Event or Passing Through

    Right next to the event center, tent or rv camping is allowed. Depending on what's happening that day, it can be quiet or very busy. All sites are gravel and have electrical hookups. Internet is available throughout the area. Fires must be contained in an enclosed fire pit and pets must be kept on leash at all times. You can use the arena for showering during the day which is incredibly helpful.
