Best RV Parks & Resorts near Fairbury, NE

180 Reviews

Crystal Springs Lake RV campground in Fairbury provides 30/50-amp electrical hookups and water connections at each site. Spaces accommodate larger RVs up to 38 feet with room to spare according to campers. "Sites are big enough for our 38 foot 5th wheel with room to spare," notes one visitor. The campground features three spring-fed lakes ideal for fishing and kayaking, with sites priced at $20 per night. Riverside Park in nearby Beatrice offers RV camping with electric, water, and sewer hookups for fully self-contained units, plus amenities like showers, toilets, and trash service. Several miles north in Hebron, another Riverside Park provides 14 RV sites with 30-amp electric service and a dump station.

Most RV parks in the region remain open through mid-October, with Crystal Springs operating from early May through mid-October. Facilities vary considerably among locations, with some offering full hookups while others provide only electric and water connections. The dump station situation requires planning—Crystal Springs lacks a dump station entirely, while Riverside Park in Hebron maintains one behind the bathrooms. Cell service is generally reliable at most established campgrounds, though reviews indicate spotty coverage at more rural locations like Rockford Lake State Recreation Area. First-come, first-served policies govern several parks, including Riverside Park in Hebron, making weekday arrivals advantageous during summer months. Many campgrounds accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply.

    Double Nickel Campground

    Well Run Campground with Exceptional Service

    We’d passed through this area a few years ago when traveling I-80 and noticed there was a campground(CG) and golf course here in Waco, NE. We added this CG to our list and finally got a chance to stay here. The CG is a little ways off I-80 and easy to get to. Check-in was quick and easy and we were led to pull through site 303 with FHUs. There are separate prices for weekdays and weekends. The utilities were at the center of the long gravel pad. Water pressure was okay at around 40 psi. We got 2 bars on Verizon. The sites here are decently spaced especially for a private CG. The CG was clean and well-maintained. If there were long-term residents, you could not tell. We were here over a weekend, so there were families and a lot of kids using the swimming pool, mini golf, and the large playground area. Each site, along with a picnic table and fire pit has a bench swing. There’s a decent-sized dog park on the south side and larger one on the north side. The CG has its own tornado siren plus an underground tornado shelter. There’s one cabin for rent. They also have a well-kept laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. York has your main amenities such as Walmart. The golf course right next door is a deceptively tough 9-hole course.

    Riverside Park

    Pretty park

    Nice place to stop for the night in the heat. Stopped because we needed electric for the air conditioner. We are at a level concrete pad site. Water is available but not at our site. There are two long-term campers here with permits. Some sites have concrete, others are grass. $15 for the night. Very quiet on a Sunday night.

    Double Nickel Campground

    Ranger Review of Midland ER210 Emergency Weather Radio &XTalker T31 Bundle

    Campground Review

    We pulled into The Double Nickel Campground off of I-80 at the Waco exit(360) in Nebraska and were pleasantly surprised. We had a pull-thru site with Electric and Water. The site was a level, gravel pad with a picnic table and a large fire ring and a cute wooden double swing.

    We learned that the owners Jeff and Amanda had bought the campgrounds in 2014 and moved here from Georgia. They have been working hard to improve it and are going to be making all RV sites into full hookups this winter. They also had started decorating for a haunted Halloween at the campgrounds.

    This campground had free putt putt golf, video games, volleyball, yard games, playgrounds, a swimming pool, kids toys and books, crafts, and even an outdoor movie. Lots to do for family fun. There was also a golf course right next to the campgrounds.

    The campgrounds offered tent and RV camping with Electric and Water to full hookups. There was free Wifi. The owner brought our firewood to the site and there was trash pick up at the site. There was a fenced in dog run for the pups. The only con was the interstate noise which we got use to. Everyone was very friendly and we made new camper friends and enjoyed fellowship around the campfire swapping stories and listening to the coyotes chattering in the distance. We will definitely return.

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time. At this campsite my husband and I tested the Midland ER 210 Emergency Weather Radio and XTalker T31 Walkie Talkie Bundle. Some of great features and things I liked about the Emergency Weather Radio are

    1. The ultrasonic dog whistle and flashing beacon to help aid search and rescue locate you in case you are lost or hurt.
    2. Loved all the different ways to charge this Radio. You can use the solar panel, the crank, the rechargeable batteries, or 6 AA batteries, making it a great tool to have.
    3. When we were listening to the radio, a siren went off to alert us that we were in a severe thunderstorm watch and that high winds were expected.

    The XTalker T31 Walkie Talkies have

    1. Split chargers making them easy to charge
    2. A call or page button to call each other
    3. Ease of use

    September is Emergency Prepareness Month and this bundle will definitely be a great asset to have especially here in Nebraska where the weather can turn bad quickly. Please check them out at https://midlandusa.com

    Conestoga State Recreation Area

    Conestoga State Recreation area. Site 50 and major renovation review

    Conestoga SRA is an increasingly popular campground following major renovations that were completed in 2018. Improvements to the picnic tables, restrooms, added shelter area and most importantly a complete overhaul of the lake have made this a much improved campground. Conestoga is entirely walk up with no reservations. You can easily self register at the park entrance and a second location closer to the lake centrally located between two of the three camping areas. A pack in primitive campground was also added to the lake and is accessible via a gravel hiking path. Fishing for mature fish will not be possible until 2021 according to Nebraska game and parks. I did see plentiful immature fish while kayaking the lake in June of 2019. The lake was complete dredged out and the parks commission added several silt pond around the lake to capture silt run off. This should keep this lake much cleaner than it was in the past. The park is boat and kayak friendly these days with the addition of two brand new boat ramps. By my count there were three new fishing docks going up although only one was completed during my stay. This is not relatively quite campground but it is popular. Kids can ride their bikes all around the paved and gravel rounds throughout the camp. The sites in the row on the side of site 50 are huge. We enjoyed spreading our stuff out with multiple tents and played games in the large open space. Shade is limited over a good 1/3 of the powered sites. The primitive site closer to the lake is well shaded with mature trees. There was a camp host who made sure we knew where the storm shelter was on the night of our stay. We nearly needed to use it as we experienced a severe thunder storm. There are 25 camp pads offering 20-30–50 amp hook ups and another 8 non electric pad sites. There is a dump station and several vaulted, well maintained toilet houses. Water is also available. If you plan on boating there is a 5mph speed limit so this is more of a canoe or kayaking lake or just for fishing. I highly recommend this SRA close to Lincoln Nebraska

    Alexandria Lakes State Rec Area

    Quick Tour

    We drove through the campground earlier this year to scout it out. We recorded our visit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0oUQQ0zRx0) so that we would remember what we found. 

    Alexandria State Recreation Area offers 40 sites with 30-amp electrical hookup, 5 sites with 50-amp electrical hookup and 8 sites without electricity. The campground also offers water, modern restrooms, playground and a dump station.

    Wagon Train Primitive sites

    Wagon Train easy going camping

    This SRA about 25 minutes Southeast of Lincoln Nebraska is a favorite go to for me and my boys. Wagon Train is far enough from major roads that all you’ll hear is nature and the crackle of your fire. There are 28 pad/powered sites and 80 non powered, non pad sites for basic tent camping. If you want a sad spot reserve early. This SRA experienced a tornado a few years ago and many trees were lost. Those trees are in a pile near the non pad sites though, so claiming free fire wood is easy if you have a saw. Potable water is available and vaulted toilets are a short walk from the non powered sites. If you RV you’ll also have access to a dump station. There is a short hiking trail but nothing to write home about. Your camp sites will all have fire rings and picnic tables. I think the best part of this lake is the sand beach swimming area which is near a large covered picnic area. As with many Southeast Nebraska lakes, you can boat but there is a 5mph speed limit. If you don’t make reservations online you can show up and self register at the camp entrance. For me Wagon Train isn’t the prettiest lake in the area be a long shot but I love how quite it is and you’ll love the dark starry skies at night.

    Riverside Park

    Several night stay

    Needed to be in the area for a few days.
    Nice concrete pads large enough for our fifth wheel. 50amp water electric for $20

Guide to Fairbury

Fairbury, Nebraska camping areas sit approximately 1,300 feet above sea level in the rolling prairie landscape of southeastern Nebraska. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F in July and August, making water access particularly valuable for campers. Winter camping is limited as most facilities close between October and May.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lone Star Recreation Area offers a 75-acre lake suitable for kayak fishing. "My dad and I have camped at Lone Star many times. Usually we have the place to ourselves in late fall or early spring. It's peaceful and quiet out there. Great place for kayak fishing," notes one visitor to Lone Star Rec Area.

Paddle sports: Multiple spring-fed lakes provide calm waters perfect for non-motorized boats. "There is no wake boating, but kayaking/canoeing the lake is the best way to see and fish this lake," reports a camper at Lone Star Recreation Area.

Disc golf: The 18-hole course at Riverside Park in Beatrice offers a full day of recreation. "The reason to stay was to Frisbee golf and camp ALL weekend. They have a nice 18 hole course throughout the park," explains a visitor to Riverside Park.

What campers like

Spacious sites: The camping areas generally offer ample room for various setups. "We stayed in the bottom section, close to water, the view was very nice. They have a playground and beach area, primitive restrooms, boat ramp, and at least two covered areas for gatherings," mentions a visitor to Lone Star Recreation Area.

Clean facilities: Despite being municipal parks, facilities are typically well-maintained. "Camp hosts fantastic! $20/night full hookup. Nice shower. Quiet. Great for Starlink," reports a guest at Riverside Park in Beatrice.

Budget-friendly options: Several locations offer free or low-cost tent camping. "Change of plans last minute for my little brother's birthday brought us here. At first we couldn't figure out where to set up camp so we asked the camp host who was very friendly. Turns out that you can set up a tent basically anywhere and there's zero cost to tent camp, no fees whatsoever!" shares a camper at Lone Star Recreation Area.

What you should know

Season variations: Most RV campgrounds near Fairbury operate seasonally. "I'm not a glamper, thus I don't expect much, but Lone Star is a really nice place to take a family. A cowboy would like it too. Good facilities, swimming, and a nice lake to fish," notes a summer visitor.

Wildlife considerations: Expect encounters with local wildlife, particularly in the water. "Camped here over the Fourth of July weekend and was surprised that it was only about 3/4 of the way full. Quite a bit of day use traffic with people kayaking and fishing, but remained peaceful and relaxing place," reports a summer visitor.

First-come availability: Advanced planning helps during peak periods. "This is a pleasant, quiet spot in a great park. There are two giant playgrounds to keep the kids busy. The toilets are OK, but just what you'd expect at a public park, nothing fancy," explains a visitor to Riverside Park Beatrice.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several parks feature child-friendly facilities. "There are two giant playgrounds to keep the kids busy. The toilets are OK, but just what you'd expect at a public park, nothing fancy. There were no showers," shares a family staying at Riverside Park in Beatrice.

Swimming beaches: Designated swimming areas provide supervised water recreation. "They have a playground and beach area, primitive restrooms, boat ramp, and at least two covered areas for gatherings," notes a camper at Lone Star.

Covered gathering spaces: Group picnic shelters accommodate family meals regardless of weather. "Sheltered bathrooms and drinking fountains were just a few of the amenities offered at the grounds. There is tent camping along with RV spots with electricity for both," explains a visitor to Riverside Park Hebron.

Tips from RVers

Concrete pads: Several parks offer solid, level parking surfaces. "Needed to be in the area for a few days. Nice concrete pads large enough for our fifth wheel. 50amp water electric for $20," reports an RVer at Riverside Park in Beatrice.

Electrical options: Most RV parks provide either 30-amp or 50-amp service. "Better than I expected. Camp host was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean although stalls have no doors. I did not use the showers but I looked in and they were clean," mentions a visitor at Riverside Park.

Dump station access: Plan waste disposal in advance. "We drove through the campground earlier this year to scout it out. We recorded our visit so that we would remember what we found. There is a dump station behind the bathrooms. There are 14 spots with electric hook-ups," explains a visitor to Riverside Park in Hebron.
