    Tomahawk Municipal RV Park

    Small in town RV park

    Located in Broken Bow 2 blocks from the highway by the city park and is a small but nice RV Park. It is clean and well kept. All sites are full hook ups with a few on concrete but most on gravel. Most sites are pull thru. Not every site has a picnic bench, they are scattered around. This is a fairly new park, has 15 spaces and has no shade. Daily fee is $20.

    Great City Park

    Broken Bow is a great town. Been through there several times. The city park is great, not much to it but it is nice and clean and convenient. For $20, would recommend. Full hook-ups.

    Ravenna Lake State Recreation Area

    Pleasant Stay

    The only way to reserve a site is through camp spot and we have a little trouble with that because it did not let me pick my site number. We arrived Friday evening on Memorial weekend and it was crowded. The campsite is great on the pocketbook but you have to pay a $10 fee to lock in your site and I am so glad we did! There was only three other empty spots in the entire campground and they were all marked reserved when we got there. The campground was pretty busy We were a little disappointed in our site because it was very small and kind of sandwiched between two big campers so not a lot of privacy and not a lot of room. There were a lot of people fishing and kayaking and a lot of dogs. There are showers and bathrooms but they are up near the entrance to the campground although they did have porta potties near the campsites. Although the grounds were well maintained the grass was mowed there was volleyball net setup disc golf available a pet exercise area the fountain was beautiful and shady in most areas. We would probably return on a non-holiday weekend when it's not so busy.

    I 80 stopover

    Convenient stopover driving through Nebraska. It's on the other side of town in a Park, away from the interstate. Traveling with a Labrador Retriever, the huge park was wonderful. Electric, water and a dump station met all my needs. Bathhouse needs some TLC, and was not clean. WiFi worked well! Cute little town with fastfood or other options to eat.

    Bessey Recreation Complex Campground

    We loved it, we hiked it, some tanked it, others ATV'd it

    We wanted to camp Nebraska's national forest for some time and we were not disappointed. The camp was full to the brim.  all sites with hookups were taken, but the overflow is an abandoned, overgrown baseball field.  It was great, spacious, close to the showers and flush toilets, and only $8 a night!

    I think hookups were only $16, so this is a great deal no matter how you slice it.

    Neighboring Thedford has Kayaks and Tanks you can rent.  Tanking has become a Nebraska Thing.  fitting a group of folks and possibly a keg in a horse tank and floating down river!  We hiked to the ranger tower and it was a great hike with a spring fed trough half way up.  Much to see in the surrounding area including art galleries, quilt shops, and more.  Nice camping supply store right in Halsey.

    Victoria Springs State Rec Area

    Quiet rural stop in middle of nowhere - Nebraska

    The sites are mostly level and well groomed grass with 2 new concrete handicap spots. The 30 amp and 50 amp power was proper voltage and dependable. Access to clear line of site to south for Dish or Directv is difficult due to heavy tree population. Non-Nebraska resident requires $14 pass in addition to the $30 fee with electric.  Potable water is available and dump station is easily accessible with a rinse water source. Ingress and egress is good with gravel road surfaces in park. The restrooms and showers are very clean and accessible.

    Lafayette Park Campground

    Lovely park!

    We only spent one night, but wish we had time to stay longer! This is a lovely campground under the shade of huge old cottonwood trees on the edge of town. Downtown Gothenburg is an easy, very enjoyable bike ride away. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, showing us the easiest way to get to downtown and recommending a local restaurant. Tons of space for dog walking and nice playgrounds too!

    Lafayette Park Campground

    Plenty of shade here

    This park is water and electric only. Has a dump station at the entrance. All sites are on grass or gravel and very close together. The park is well kept with plenty of mature shade trees. Nice view of lake along the outskirts of park. We did not use facilities while there.

    Homestead Knolls Campground — Calamus SRA

    Beautiful

    It's a beautiful Campground. As long as your rig is under 50 ft all the sites are back in. It has showers and bathrooms and water. It's missing a septic dump. The only complaint I have is for everyday you camp you pay $30 a night plus if you're not Nebraska local you also pay $14 a night per vehicle. If you're Nebraska local it's $30 a night plus $7 a night for vehicle.
