Best Campgrounds near Brady, NE

Looking for a stop off the I-80, this was a great location. No one else here except one other camper. Large cottonwood trees provide shade. Clean bathrooms and showers, dump station on the way out.

I found 5 ticks in my clothes and on my gear before I decided I couldn't safely find them all and had to bail.

Maybe I just got unlucky, but be berry prepared to deal with ticks if you decide to visit

This campground is located just east of Highway 83 in North Platte, NE. It is right on the Platte River and would be great to stay there during the Crane migration in the Spring, However, the campground doesn't open until April and the Cranes are long gone by then. There isn't much noise from the highway. The sites all butt up to one another in a small loop. Some sites had tables some not and no fire rings. There are trash cans, and water available by the bathroom. No showers and the bathrooms are not the best. The stall doors would not lock and the sink was very stained. The camp info says there is electricity for an extra $10 but I think it is only in a couple of sites near the bathroom. Sites are First Come I believe and open on 4/1 - 11/1. There is a nice park attached to the campground and they have lots of things going on in the summer. People have donated trees to the park in memory of the passing of loved ones. The river is for the birds, geese, eagles and herons and sometimes cranes.

Paved spots, full hookups, lots of walking and playgrounds nearby. Worked well for a quick overnight on our way west.

Great little RV park in a park-like setting. Gravel roads with relatively level gravel sites. Shared services. Lots of big trees. Long pull-through site to leave the truck and TT attached. Cross the little covered bridge into Lake Helen Rec Area for a good walkabout. Visit downtown Gothenburg to see the Pony Express station. We liked it and would stay here again.

Peaceful spot by a lake all to ourselves. After dark highway traffic subsided and we were able to sleep soundly. There is some t mobile reception.

At first I wasn’t sure because it’s right off the road but we gave it a try and love it. There aren’t many cars that pass and we had a couple of friendly people stop by with helpful tips- like look out for rattlers this time a year. It was a perfect spot for our two- day stay.

The sites are very confusing. We had to move to a different site because we could not understand how/where to park or hook up to water and electricity. There was nobody around at all; just a phone number which we called and texted and got no response back. The bathrooms, while clean, were old and a bit worn. It’s not a great campground but it’s acceptable for overnight

The best thing about this campground is that it’s shady and a ways off of the interstate. Otherwise it’s old and tired, with small sites and odd shared hookups between spaces. (Eg. - our water hookup was Ammon a pole right next to our door and the picnic table. The bathrooms were old but clean. There was a cute covered bridge on a trail to the main park which was the best thing about it. There were only a few other campers there, but I cannot imagine what it would be like if it was full. We were there during a boil water order for the entire town, and we appreciated that they emailed us about it so we knew to bring our own water and not use the campground’s.

Bathrooms and play for the kids. There are lots of picnic tables. Well maintained. Donation Box

I have come to realize that my wife and I do not need much from the campground itself for an overnight stay, but….

Cuzn Eddyz is perfect for an overnight stay. There is a gas station sitting right next to the campground so fuel and snacks are no problem.

FHU, what else do you need?

I do not use many, but the bathhouse was very clean and comfortable. I did not look for the laundry.

Maybe WiFi? We ended up using our phone hotspot and had plenty of cell phone reception.

**thanks for the reply, it was probably a lack of patience. I tried to connect my tv but it did not seem to want to. Probably my fault. You have a nice campground.

The Wind Turbin Crews use this campground. No big deal, makes perfect sense. There were folks outside and we briefly spoke to a few. Very friendly.

If i travel through the area again I will stay on this property if it works.

The staff are super helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the site we were in had no shade, but that is no reflection on the campgrounds. The sites are a little close to one another and there are travelers coming and going all hours, but overall, it was a nice park.

There were a ton of mosquitoes when we visited, so much so that we couldn’t sleep in our truck and had to set up a tent. Several cars drove by on the road, some as late as 2:30 in the morning. Also, the cows nearby were super loud. Not the best sleep but hey, it’s a free site. No amenities at all.

You access the westside by entering the south camping site and following the road to you left all the way back. There are tables and rings at some sites but not all. There is a vault toilet at the end of the ring. All sites are next to the lake.

I entered the south side camping which is much like other sites with close camping, there is electric and a vault toilet. If a person follows the small road at the end of the south side camping it takes you to the west side camping which is random spots along the road to camp next to the water. Some have tables and fire rings other do not. There is a vault toilet at the end of the loop.

$30 for electric sites $7 daily vehicle fee for NE license $14 daily vehicle fee for non- NE $15 tent sites

Stayed there for 3 days and staff was very courteous. I had a pull through spot that had plenty of shade. The store had your basic needs. I would definitely return again. Filling your propane thanks on your way out is so convenient.
