    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.

      Great for an overnight stay.

      A 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.

      Great little find

      Ten 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

      August 31, 2026

      Little 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

      Riverside Campground — Two Rivers SRA

      Good, but could get crowded

      Campsites 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.

      Nice Spot

      There 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.

      Peaceful

      Found 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.

      Eugene T. Mahoney State Park Campground

      So much to offer!

      This 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.

      Not great for camping.

      The 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.

    Guide to Bellevue

    Campgrounds near Bellevue, Nebraska sit within the rolling hills and river valleys of eastern Nebraska, where elevations range from 960 to 1,200 feet above sea level. The area experiences distinct seasons with hot, humid summers and cold winters, making spring and fall popular camping periods. Most campgrounds in this region are situated along the Platte River watershed, providing access to water recreation while remaining within 30 miles of Omaha's urban amenities.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Abundant options exist for anglers at Lake Cunningham Campground where "There is a large lake stocked with fish" according to Dana T. The multiple fishing lakes at Two Rivers State Recreation Area create diverse fishing environments, including a specialized trout lake that "nearly guarantees success" for families with children, as noted by Rick J.

    Water activities: Swimming and paddling are popular at Louisville State Recreation Area Campground. The park features "a brand new water park fairly busy on weekend" according to Linda H. The recreation area also offers boat rentals where visitors can "rent boats like canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddleboards for hrs, half and daily rates" as Daniel B. points out.

    Hiking trails: Multiple difficulty levels available throughout the region. At Waubonsie State Park Campground, "The trails are beautiful and quiet, with several scenic overlooks" according to Jennifer M. Trail difficulty varies widely, as Tony B. mentions that the park has "several different levels or skills levels" for hikers, making it accessible for various fitness abilities.

    What campers like

    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.

    Variety of accommodation options: Beyond standard campsites, unique lodging choices exist. Tony B. notes that at Two Rivers SRA, "They also have old remodeled Union Pacific caboose you can stay in." For those seeking cabin comfort, Jordan H. says Platte River State Park Campground "have a couple of different kinds of cabins. There's a bunch of trails! The park in general is beautiful."

    Space between sites: Site layout and spacing affects camping experience. Shannon G. explains that at Oak Grove Campground, "it has a nice amount of room between spots and lots of trees for shade." This contrasts with more crowded options in the region, providing a more private camping experience for those who prefer solitude.

    What you should know

    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."

    Tips for camping with families

    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.

    Easy biking opportunities: Flat terrain suitable for younger riders. Justin R. mentions that Two Rivers SRA is "flat and easy for young kids to bike around all the different lakes(ponds)." This makes it particularly appealing for families with children learning to ride.

    Fishing for beginners: Stocked ponds provide high success rates for novice anglers. Rick J. describes the appeal of Union Pacific Cabooses — Two Rivers SRA: "This is a great campground for camping and fishing with kids. The fishing is easy in all the lakes and they have a pay fishing trout lake that nearly guarantees success."

    Tips from RVers

    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. There is sometimes a line of campers at the dump station." Consider timing for dump station use to avoid long waits during peak checkout periods.
