15 campgrounds · Check availability for any dates.
None of the campgrounds in the data show any equestrian-specific facilities. Based on the features information, all campgrounds are listed with "NO horse-corral" in their amenities. While several parks like Louisville State Recreation Area, Platte River State Park, and Eugene T. Mahoney State Park allow pets, there is no indication of specific horse accommodations or equestrian camping facilities.
Horse owners seeking camping options near Bellevue would need to look beyond these immediate locations for equestrian-friendly campgrounds. The available campgrounds primarily cater to tent camping, RV camping, and cabin stays without specialized horse facilities. Several parks feature trail systems that might be suitable for day use, but none advertise bridle trails or horse-specific amenities in the provided data.
Travelers with horses should contact Nebraska Game and Parks Commission or Iowa Department of Natural Resources directly to inquire about equestrian camping opportunities not represented in this dataset. While the campgrounds listed offer various outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking trails, fishing, and water activities, horse camping specifically requires facilities like corrals, wash racks, or designated equestrian camping areas - none of which appear to be available at these locations according to the provided information.

GuideA nice little area to park our RV for the night as we were passing through. Just put your $10 in the donation box. Yes, there is a train that blows its whistle, but it doesn’t come through too often.
ScoutTen dollars a night for a electrical hookup, green grass and peace of mind. Perfect, just pull in, find a vacant pedestal and make yourself at home. 510 Midland Street
LegendLittle Creek section site 42, August 31, 2026, 85 degrees at 7pm. Pad was asphalt and level, good angle for backing in. 20/30amp, T-Mobile 5G was great. Green grass everywhere, we saw deer , squirrels and turkeys. CG was empty, showers and toilets are in the same building, older but nice.
All of the sites were paved and level, the grass may not be level and the tables and pits were fine.
Some noise at night from the highway, but the frogs, crickets and peepers were louder than the road noise. Loud trains at night.
Trash and water spigot were close to site. All of the ADA compatible campsites were brand new concrete very nice
TravelerCampsites are grassy and mostly level, though there were a few that had standing water from a thunderstorm earlier that morning. There is not any privacy between campsites and sites are right next to each other. We were lucky to come on a weekend that wasn’t very busy, and I could easily see this campsite get very crowded around holidays. The pit toilets needed a good clean, but other facilities seem maintained.
GuideThere were more people than I expected there on a Monday evening, but we were able to find a spot with 30A to set up. We didn’t even need blocks, as it was perfectly level. Just pulled into the grass next to the electric and had no issues. Great for a quick overnight, especially for just $10.
TravelerFound this spot last minute before the 4th of July, it was pretty much the only availability. It was perfect and I wish I would have found this place a lot sooner. Although it was busy it still was comfortable. And it's a straight shot to my work in Omaha. Is like staying longer.
GuideSouth of Omaha, on the Platte River. 200+ rv and tent sites. $30/night with electrical. Water and dump in the park. 5 lakes for fishing, kayak, hiking trails, rc track, access to the river, convince store, swimming beach, blowup obstacles course, and shower bathroom locations.
ScoutThis park offers something for everyone! Although the campsites are average this big beautiful park makes up for it in other ways. From the aquatic park, to the stables, hiking and biking trails, a small marina with fishing and paddle boats, and a nature center, you won’t have to leave to be entertained. Recommend staying at the lakeside campground for better views.
RangerThe areas for tent camping are poorly situated and not worth paying for imho. They have a pit toilet and a water spigot nearby, but that doesn’t make it worth the noise and amount of random local traffic circling my through the campground.

River access: Riverside camping spots provide natural soundscapes and recreation. At Two Rivers SRA, Justin R. appreciates that "the Platte river is right there too that adds a great ambient sound." The riverside locations offer "access at the far west side of the park" where during summer "it was common to see people wading across the river as it was neither a fast moving current nor deep" according to Daniel B.

Train noise: Railroad proximity impacts several campgrounds. Multiple reviewers at Louisville State Recreation Area mention train disruptions, with Bill M. simply stating "Train noise all night." Justin R. explains the severity: "at night the trains go by about every 17 minutes. The tracks run right get along the park." Pack earplugs if staying at affected campgrounds.
Reservation systems: Plan ahead for better site selection. Shannon G. explains at Goldenrod Campground: "The walk up process is a little strange. You get put on a waiting list and have to return to main office at 3. Then the start at beginning of list and people start choosing so get on waiting list early."
Site flooding concerns: Weather impacts can affect camping comfort. Sarah N. cautions about Goldenrod Campground: "I stayed here on a night where it rained maybe as much as an inch, and some campsites did flood. I stayed at site 104 and it ended up being a good choice because it was shaded and on higher ground."
Water attractions: Kid-friendly swimming options available at multiple parks. Tony B. notes that Louisville State Recreation Area offers "a swimming area, beach, and play inflatables for kids in the water" creating an engaging environment for younger campers. The amenities extend to "playgrounds for kids" in several recreation areas.

The fishing is easy in all the lakes and they have a pay fishing trout lake that nearly guarantees success."
Utility access: Electricity options vary between campgrounds. Shannon G. notes that at Oak Grove Campground, it "offers electric and electric plus, fire pit, and picnic table." Many parks offer full hookups, but availability depends on the specific campground section.
Concrete pad availability: Level sites benefit larger vehicles. Connor S. appreciates Lake Cunningham's "new East lots. Full access with concrete pad. Tons of room between spots." Alana R. confirms "The sites have concrete pads with power, but no water or sewer. There is a fill station on the way in."
Dump station locations: Convenience factors affect departure experience. Shannon G. observes that at Fawn Meadows Campground, "It is near the road and the dump station is in view.
