Best Cabin Camping near Big Springs, NE

31 Reviews

Several campgrounds near Big Springs, Nebraska provide cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. McGreer Camper Park offers a basic cabin option on a working farm with access to shared facilities including hot showers, laundry, and a common room with basic cooking facilities. Eagle Canyon Hideaway in Brule features numerous cabins with electricity and proximity to Lake McConaughy, though water levels can affect lake access. The Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA provides well-maintained cabin accommodations with modern bathrooms, a pool, and a dog exercise area. According to one visitor at McGreer, "This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy on/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can't be beat."

Most cabins in the region serve as convenient overnight accommodations for travelers along I-80 rather than destination lodging. Pet-friendly cabins are available at multiple locations, with policies varying by property. Lone Eagle Canyon Campground includes cabins with Wi-Fi access and a small store that sells meals. Reservations are recommended, particularly during summer months when Lake McConaughy attracts more visitors. Eagle Canyon Hideaway operates seasonally from March 15 to November 30, while McGreer Camper Park and some other facilities remain open year-round. One reviewer noted that Eagle Canyon Hideaway has "lots of cabins" though they experienced inconsistent service quality.

Furnished cabins typically include beds and basic furniture, but guests should bring their own linens, pillows, and towels unless otherwise specified. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from simple microwaves to outdoor fire pits with grills. Most cabin sites include picnic tables for outdoor dining. The Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA maintains a small camp store for basic provisions, while McGreer offers a more limited selection. Visitors planning extended stays should stock up on groceries in Ogallala, which has more shopping options than Big Springs. Cabin rentals in this region primarily serve as practical overnight accommodations rather than luxury retreats, with most visitors using them as convenient stopping points during longer journeys.

    Just an overnight stop

    Campsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin. This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy o/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can’t be beat. Was a great spot to stop rest get some sleep before traveling on.

    Perfectly Pleasant

    I stayed at a tent site and it was small and very close to other campers (it’s like a parking lot in size and closeness), but I liked feeling a part of a community. If you want some space though, it may not be for you (with tent camping that’s all they have). Big plus for me since it was so cold and windy, was that the restrooms and office were right next to me. They also offered to leave firewood that I wanted in my site, and in case of rain ended up setting it inside at the registration lobby since I came after office hours. One staff member checked to make sure I found everything okay and I appreciated that. They have a K-9 enclosure for a bit of pupper exercise, a playground, and a pool when it is in season. Not much of a view anywhere but they have cool old pioneer wagons all around so that was neat. No complaints and if it weren’t so windy I would have really enjoyed having a cozy site near possible new friends.

    Eagle Canyon Hideaway

    Average at best

    Campground is in decent shape and does offer amenities. Lots of cabins. We stayed in a Class C RV. Supposed to be very near the lake but the level was so low it was far away and inaccessible by walking. It was the reason we chose to stay here. The staff are friendly. The little store is decent. WiFi is a joke. Cell service is spotty at best. Half the camp sites are taken by locals who pay to keep their camper here all season along with all their toys and junk. Some teenagers showed up to stay in one across from us one night and sat outside blasting music till late. Next night kids running and screaming around the park till after midnight the first night. Then we are sitting outside one afternoon and the lawn mower dude runs right through our site within inches of us spewing dust all in our camper that had the windows open. We would not stay here again.

    Little Thunder Campground

    Sandy beaches, starry skies, summer heat

    We stayed one night at "Big Mac" on July 6th on our way out to Colorado in beach area 12. We were able to pull right up to the shore. There was a heat wave coming through so it was very hot. The bathrooms (In our spot they were just biffy's) are a bit of a walk from the spot we were at. 

    We had 3 setups, a roof top tent, inside the 4runner and a ground tent. All parties slept pretty happily including a 6 year old. We cooked right on the beach and had a campfire. 

    Towards midnight we saw some amazing stars that the pictures I included don't do justice. We would stay here again but I would caution anyone coming here to bring some sun screen and ensure you drink a lot of a water. There are some tent spots among the trees that provide more shade.

    If you're from a state (Like we are from MN) with lots of beaches and Lakes, it's really "just ok". Don't get me wrong, It's cool you can camp right on the beach and it's probably the most exciting place to be in Nebraska, but that's not saying much.

    Ranger Review: Xero Umara Z-Trail Sport Sandal at Little Thunder Campground

    Campground Review: A great place for beach goers and those that want to take advantage of the huuuge Lake McConaughy for boating and fishing, as most campers have something with them for their aquatic adventures. There's boat load ramps. The campgrounds are large too. 4 stars since ground plots for primitive camping didnt offer much cover. Primitive and electrical hook ups available. There's a combination restroom and shower facility and half of their 42 sites are reservable. There's also a basic jungle gym for kids in the center of the grounds. Within the State Rec Area, this is a good site for access to the lake and if you need the electrical hook ups, and probably the best bet for anyone with kids so bathrooms are close by. Of course, you are steps from beach, so if that's your thing you'd be well served here.

    Gear Review: The Xero Umara Z-Trail Sport is designed to be a lightweight performance sandal and I wholeheartedly agree. As a Dyrt Ranger, I get products to test and review in the field, and I've had these on my feet for about 3 weeks now. They're so light you'll forget you're wearing them, and the comfort is hard to ignore. I've done everything in them from hikes in the Rocky Mountains to cruising the urban concrete. Performance: The tread has serious grip. Doing descents on mountain trails in these wont keep your feet from getting dirty, but it will keep them on the ground and not above your head because you slipped. The thin sole allows for you to massage your feet on curved rocks too, so yeah - Bonus. These aren't my first choice running shoes, but barefoot-style runners have totally found their holy grail. I ran along the beach with them in the morning and it was awesome because it felt like I was running on the sand but I knew I was getting better support at the same time.
    Fit: I highly recommend using the size guide online. If you're going to be really active (runners and hikers), your feet will swell slightly so give yourself some room to play with. The straps against my skin were great (probably because they use a process where there's no edge seams rubbing against you), easy to adjust, and there's a flexible loop to put any excess strap through so you're not tripping over yourself. Clever design too because your foot sits in a slight footbed well, rather than on top of a total flat piece of material, so your foot is well 'cushioned'. Verdict: Great sandal for around camp and on the trails. I've hesitated about taking a second pair of shoes for use around campgrounds because of the weight it would add to my pack, but not only are these roll-able so it makes packing easy (or lash them to your pack with a caribiner) but now, my second-pair shoes are so light, why wouldn't I? The grip means foraging for firewood or exploring around camp are no concern. My belongings seem to be just as accident prone as myself, and so far they're up to the task. The value with the Xero Umara Z-trail Sport is totally there. Check out the sandals here. Men's and Women's sizes available. https://xeroshoes.com/shop/ready-to-wear-barefoot-sandals/ztrail-men/

    White Sandy Beaches

    The campground is open all year, but the restroom isn't. The sites are not level but definitely doable. Not a lot of shade in the center of the loop. Most of the Lakefront sites do. There is a great playground. Showers are by token. Beautiful white sandy beaches close by. In Lake McConaughy RA you can camp anywhere within the state park for $12, it doesn't have to be an actual site!  So lots of people camped on the beach along the water. Probably very quiet and pleasant and budget friendly.

    Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA

    Great stopover overnight stop

    This was a great overnight stopover. Very nicely maintained campground. The bathrooms were very clean, nicely designed with a modern look. Tiny off leash K9 park for dogs. Snug campground surrounded by corn fields. The hum of the highway can be heard but isn’t bad at all. We would definitely stay here again. Hosts were very kind. We didn’t love that we were placed super close to others, nor did we live that the one tent campers were right next to us facing our sitting area when there were so many open spaces with better privacy with same site-types, and we arrived late enough in the day that choice offerings to others would not have mattered…but, KOA does charge an upcharge for site selection so perhaps the snug assignments are by design? First KOA experience. Overall we were pleased.

    Cute country Rv park

    We only stayed one night. Very nice people who own this park. Loved the little country house office. The pool was closed because of Covid and it was super windy. To do a load of laundry there it was $2 for the washer and $1.75 for the dryer. Cute playground my kids liked. Dog friendly too.
