WELCOME TO MERNA NEBRASKA At Cuzn Eddyz we want to offer a place for you and your family to stop and have a relaxing vacation away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Enjoy the picturesque windmill display and the baseball field where you can play under the lights. We hope that you will enjoy your stay and want to return to our campground in the future.
Cuzn Eddyz is located just off the junction of Highway 2 and 92 at Merna, Nebraska in the heart of the sandhills. It is a quick 10 mile drive to Broken Bow that has several eating and bar establishments. It is also close to Anselmo, Arnold, Callaway and Sargent 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.
Decided to cut our drive in half by staying here on our way to Smith Falls. It was a Monday night but it was very quiet other than the hum of the mosquitos!
-Side note: the vault bathrooms were a whole lot cleaner than some of our past experiences at other State Parks
Great spot with lots of trees and good sized sites. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and they were only half full & by night only a few more people came. Bugs were pretty bad. Unfortunately a bad storm moved in so we weren’t able to enjoy the evening. The trees kept us protected from the wind and hail. Would come back again!
Flushing toilets, showers. 2 hookups if you need it. Water. Only ones camping on a Friday night. Did I mention the train? Otherwise great!
This campground is open from April 1– October 31 but you must make a reservation and since we were looking for a place to land at 4:30 pm on a Sunday in June with no reservations, it would not work for us.
It is located on the Calamus River and near (two miles away) from the Calamus Reservoir and Marina. Sites are laid out in typical RV style and have a picnic table and full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric), fire rings, and picnic tables and are large enough to fit all sizes of RV.
When we were there last year, there was no restroom on site (the website still says it is coming soon so either there are still no restrooms or the website is not up-to-date).
This campground bills itself as family-friendly. Rates are$45/night and some of them are booked for the season.
General: One of three campgrounds as part of the Calamas Reservoir State Recreation Area. Homestead Knolls has 83 sites, all with electricity; two of them are handicap accessible and about half are reservable.
Site Quality: All had paved driveways and appeared level. We were granted a handicap site as it was after 5 pm and this one was close to the restrooms (heavy rain was forecasted for the night). There had already been some rain and some of the sites had some flooding. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday night in early June (with crappy weather) but we were told that on weekends (especially holiday weekends), the campground fills up. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit/grill.
Restrooms: One bathhouse with flush toilets, and showers. Showers take quarters. When we were there, the quarter machine was broken but the host had quarters. We were told the reason they charge for showers is to discourage teenage girls from taking long showers after being at the beach! The bathrooms were clean but dated. We didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on it. There were also vault toilets located throughout the campground and day-use area; the one I used was very clean.
Activities: Primary activities are boating, fishing, and water skiing. We don’t do any of these and were just passing through with only one more night before returning home from a three-month road trip. There was also a sign for a nature trail, but the raindrops were beginning to fall so we were not able to explore it. There is a playground, but it was dated. If you have kids who would like to use the playground, I recommend Sites 26, 28, 30 and 40, 42, and 44 (conversely, stay away from these sites if you do not want to be close to kids on the playground)!
Overall, this is a decent campground but at $42 per night (including a $12 out-of-state pass), we would try and find other places to camp, especially since we do not have a boat or fish.
Camp hosts were amazing. Gave us firewood. Clean facilities. Well maintained. Gorgeous trees and trails.
This campground is a hidden gem. Nice big sites, your not packed it. Beautiful trees all around and we’ll kept. If you need electric you can reserve a site and get 30 or 50. Some sites have water and does have a sanitary dump site. Enjoying our overnight stay
Cottonwood Park is in the town of Wolbach. There are 6 electric on grass and it’s not level. It has 30/20 Amps, 1 water spigot for all 6 sites, no dump station and costa $15/ night for electric. You could tent in the area too. The park is a cute little park. There are 2 picnic shelters, disc golf, horse arena, fishing pond, and bathrooms. The bathrooms have a shower and toilets but not the cleaniest. The pond is actually cute with a small bridge over the pond and benches scattered around it. There’s not much to bring you to the town unless seeing family.
Great camping trip with friends
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.
3 miles East of Loup City is Trade Winds campground. It is privately owned so you don’t need a state pass. It has 12 cabins and 20 Rv/tent sites with electricity and shared water. The sites are very close together but have shade trees. Each site is back in with picnic bench and fire rings. There is a nice marina for food,bait, supplies. And it has a grill open on weekends. There is a coin operated shower house and laundry mat area. The Marina also has kayak, boat slip, and storage for rent. Everyone there seems to be nice. They even had a huge firework display.
Though located on the North side of the Missouri River, this campground is considered to be in Nebraska. Run by the US Corp of Engineers, there are no state permits required. We paid $16/night, but it’s possible that we could have gotten 50% off with our America the Beautiful pass. I just forgot to check and didn’t think to include the pass when registering.
The site was electric only and I don’t believe full hookups are a available at the campground. We snagged this site, in what is normally a fully booked campground, thanks to Campnab.
The site was paved and had an area covered with small rocks where the picnic table and fire pit were located. We had two trees at the north of our site that facilitated hanging the hammock with extended straps and also a tree on the west side of the site. The bath/shower house was a short walk (as was water access) and were very, very well kept and clean. Contractors live on site and clean several times a day. It was a great area for riding bikes and was very family and pet friendly.
Had a great experience tenting here. Bathrooms were very clean and overall had an amazing experience. I would recommend this spot to anyone especially for tenting.
Love Victoria Springs! It is a hidden gem in the Nebraska Sandhills. It fills up on the weekends but during the week you can have the entire campground to yourself. Beautiful trees, nice shade, and electrical hook-ups.
This lake is amazing — clean and with a sand base.
Camping isn’t great, as it’s limited and close to others. If you’re looking for remote spots, this is not the place.
That said, this is a reservoir and a wildlife management area, so it’s understandable.
Making the trek back East, i needed a place to crash for the night. Quiet campground and a beautiful view off the lake. You have to pay for showers. 1.25 for 6 minutes got the job done. Chopped wood for sale at the nearest gas station.
Beautiful campground! Nice boat ramp but can be tricky to load if windy. Book in advance as this site is very popular and always full!
Nice campground close to the lake and right next to the golf course!
Spent a night here by the water and experienced a beautiful sunset. Its a perfect place to camp for a night or kayak for an afternoon. Got lucky enough to have the entire place to myself. Really relaxed place. Perfect for tent camping and a water view.
Victoria Springs has 2 different areas for camping. One area is for tent camping ($15 a day) and has a small lake with paddle boats to use. The lake has an algae issue right now. This area has a picnic shelter and playground that is dated. There are 2 cute cabins available for rent which have fire rings and picnic tables. The other area is for RVs and you can have electric $20)or electric and water($30). Each site has a fire ring and picnic shelter and is on grass. There is a basketball hoop that needs help and horseshoe area which is overgrown. A little bit of upkeep and elbow grease and this would be a great getaway.
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.
Nice secluded campground.
Very small campground inside the Burwell city park. Four electrical hookups, two back in & two pull-through. Very old wooden pit toilets, may have showers up at the pool & had one flush toilet restroom on the outside wall of the pool house that had a door (unlocked at all times we were there.) We stayed in one of the back-in sites that was right on the Loup River. Very quiet with no hi-way noise. We were there two nights and a Burwell sheriff drove through one night, and a Nebraska state patrol cruiser drove through the other night we were there. We had a very nice quiet stay there.
Davis creek is a 67 camp site (25 primitive/2 ADA, 42 electric/3 ADA) nestled in rolling hills of Valley county Nebraska on the Davis Creek reservoir. Camping is permitted year round although water is only available April 1 to November 30th. There is also a camp host in the RV section from April-Nov. There are no established trails for hiking but the gravel roads throughout the camp are used for walking and bike riding.
This is a lake and campground that went from very primitive just over 20 years ago to a top notch natural resource district campground and recreation area. The NRD is investing heavily in this campground with large shelters, shower house (bring quarters), 2 boat ramp areas, large fish cleaning station, ADA ramps, fishing docks, and a small swimming beach. The rumor from the locals is that the entire campground will be electric in the near future. I was really impressed to find free WiFi added in 2019! The WiFi was strong and reliable everywhere in the campground.
I camped on site 72 which is an electrical site capable of facilitating smaller RV’s, campers or tents. Site 72 was near water, a brick restroom building and the shower building. You’ll be hard pressed to find any adequate shade at any of the sites here although the row of 60’s will offer some late day/evening shade. All of the sites have very nice concrete pads with large fire rings with grilling grates in addition to large concrete pads with picnic tables. There is plenty of green space at most sites and at 72 we set up horseshoe stakes and had all the room we needed.
The lake: we took our kayaks out and did some fishing on this campout. Access to the lake is easy with nice wide boat ramps at two different let in’s. This is a popular fishing and water sport lake that does allow skiing and high speed water sports. If you like to fish I recommend going to the inlet a couple of miles North of the campground, it seems to be the most popular spot for on water and shore-line fishing. We trolled lines behind our kayaks and caught white bass on this Memorial Day weekend in 2019.
ADA site: There was a really nicely designed ADA site next to site 72 that I think is worth mentioning here. The site was flat with a concrete path that connected the site to the walking path to the restrooms. The fire ring and picnic table were also designed for those wheelchair bound. I’ve attached some pictures below. If you have disabilities you’ll have access to everything you need at this campground.
After being stranded for several hours with a flat tire we found ourselves behind schedule, And making it by with 5 out of 6 tires. We were told by the super helpful and friendly locals of this rv park which is simple and small. It has full electrical, water and sewage hookups. There is a playground in the same area as well as a city park about 2 blocks away. The city park has bathrooms. No showers. Quaint little town, and we were grateful for a place to park when we were left somewhat stranded.
Nuda sholls campground at calamus state recreation area is a nice little spot to setup for a few days and enjoy the 4,500 acre calamus reservoir. There are roughly 30 sites in this particular area. Half are first come first serve and the other half are by reservation. All sites are electrical only. There is a nice modern shower and bath facility to utilize if you want to conserve your fresh water tank. Toilets are free and it only costs $1.25 for a 7 minute hot shower. My family and I have created many memories here and hope to make many more
