    Campgrounds near Hubbard, Nebraska encompass several state recreation areas and county parks along the Missouri River corridor. Danish Alps State Recreation Area Camping provides tent and RV sites with electric hookups and access to sanitary facilities. The region also includes Ponca State Park, approximately 20 miles north, which features multiple campgrounds including Riverfront, Oak Bluff, and Turkey Ridge with options for tent camping, RV sites with hookups, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds offer electric hookups, water access, and basic toilet facilities, while several also provide shower buildings and dump stations.

    Seasonal operation varies significantly among area campgrounds, with some parks remaining open year-round while others operate from spring through fall. "This is a large clean and hilly state park offering just about everything you could want from glamping in cabins to roughing it on one of several pack in trails," noted one visitor about Ponca State Park. Several campgrounds in the area require Nebraska state park permits for entry, with additional camping fees ranging from $10-25 per night depending on amenities. While many sites at Danish Alps and Ponca offer reservations, some county parks operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer weekends typically see higher occupancy rates, especially at waterfront locations, making advance planning essential during peak season.

    Missouri River access represents a significant draw for campers in the region, with several review comments highlighting scenic river views. The terrain throughout the area features rolling hills and wooded areas providing shade at many campsites. Ponca State Park receives particular praise for its hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities. "We witnessed deer and many species of birds in our one evening and morning stay," mentioned one camper. Campgrounds closer to Sioux City provide easier access to urban amenities while still offering natural settings. Most camping areas maintain moderate to good cell service coverage, though visitors note that reception can be spotty in more remote sections of the parks. Public bathrooms and showers at the state parks are generally well-maintained according to visitor feedback.

      Union Grove State Park Campground

      Very clean and quiet camping

      The campsites are in a bunch of pine trees and so that cuts down a lot on the weather if there's an issue it's got nice breezes but it gets cold cold at night like down in the 50s. I'm camping in a tent with my cat and dog and my cat likes to roam free a little bit and there's only I think about 20 campsites here and they're both from tent sides to a full-on RVs. There's a nice shower and bathroom and close proximity there's four and inside each one is a modern toilet sink and shower and lockable. The only complaint that I have is that a lot of the campsite spots are at an angle not only to get down to it from the road but an angle for the tent and the pine needles cover the ground which make great starting for fires they burn so fast and so quick that you feel like you're in a tinder box a little bit which is kind of spooky if there's a spark that goes flying it could actually set the whole campfire on a blaze. There is a nice camping pit this is a steak Campground and so able to get campsites for $16 a night. The people that are on staff here are so sweet give you lots of good advice for what's close by there is it's right between Beresford and vermilion so that's like 10 miles each way but there's no ice here so you would have to drive to one of those facilities to get the ice and by the time you got back would probably be melted to be honest with you so that's the only drawback so I would suggest dry ice for sure. There's a children's playground here for kids it would be something I guess you know very fun to go and be explorers in the woods I don't think there's much chance of them getting too lost really. But all in all this is a really good place to stay I've been here six nights now and I've only got a couple more to go and then I'll be moving on.

      loess hills state forest

      Lovely, isolated little spot

      It took a lot of driving to get back in here, but the payoff was a lovely little isolated, three or 4 acres of grass and hardwood trees by a sweet little cemetery of the hill.

      Union Grove State Park Campground

      Pretty but expensive

      Very pretty campground very quiet and peaceful. Only down side is the cost ! For an out of state traveler you have to pay $15 entry fee then an additional $67.71 to camp that seems a lot for a site that has electricity only. The overall campground is spotless and from what I read the bathrooms are very nice and clean.

      Union Grove State Park Campground

      Great hidden gem

      Only 20-25 electric sites, no water or sewer at sites. Minor inconvenience, water and dump station at entrance. Bathhouse was clean, had plenty of hot water Site 08E pull thru, easy in and out. Campground on hill top hidden in the trees.

      Preparation Canyon State Park Campground

      Secluded Hike-In Camping

      Preparation Canyon has multiple hike-in sites available, in different distances (1/4 to 1 mile) from the trail head. The sites are each provided with a picnic table and fire ring, and are situated a little distance back from the main trail. I camped for three nights around site #4 which was secluded and had great privacy from those hiking nearby. The site seemed well maintained and was mostly level.

      Lots of wildlife to view and spots to explore. If hiking in the area remember to bring bug spray, the flies and mosquitoes were thick at my camp spot! I think it was the result of the standing water in the creek, which is the result of a small dam.

      Gilman Park

      Four sites in a city park

      If you are passing through northeast Nebraska, Gilman Park Campground in Pierce Nebraska is a convenient, budget-friendly stopover. It is a small, basic setup located right inside a lovely city park. There is not a dump station directly inside the park, but there is a public dump station located in the town about two minutes away. In May 2026 the nightly rate was $20, with a 5 night maximum stay.

      The camping layout is very straightforward, with four campsites lined up together. There are two shared power pedestals, with each pedestal serving two campsites. These are 30-amp electric only. All four sites share a single water spigot as far as I could tell, so you may need a long hose to fill your tank. There is one shared charcoal grill, a trash can, and an area with a picnic table.

      The surrounding park is beautiful and I enjoyed my time here. There is a lake with a fishing dock. There are two separate playgrounds and multiple picnic shelters equipped with their own grills. There is a brick bathroom building in the park, but I did not go inside.

      Right next to the campsites sits a local Pioneer Museum. It wasn't open during our visit, but it looks like a neat historical feature when accessible.

      Verizon is strong here, with a 5G signal providing 200Mbps down and 6Mbps up.

      Elk Point City Park Campground

      Another city park gem

      We have grown fond of the city parks we have discovered in our travels - this is no exception. It has the added bonus of being an historical landmark for the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Great looking park, walking paths, ball fields and an electrical hook up. Only $15. Total bargain.
