Best RV Parks & Resorts near Long Pine, NE

Long Pine State Recreation Area provides electrical hookups for RVs with 30-amp service along the creek, though the access roads feature steep grades that can challenge larger rigs. According to one visitor, "They are hard to get an RV into because of the slope and angle of the drives. Worth it once you do get parked!" Keller Park State Recreation Area, located 15 miles northwest of Long Pine, accommodates RVs with 30-amp electric hookups year-round. Oregon Trail RV Park in nearby Atkinson offers full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections for motorhomes of various sizes, including big rig friendly spaces with pull-through access.

Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with several campgrounds situated in valleys where reception is limited. A visitor at Keller Park noted cellular challenges: "Didn't even realize no cellular until after setting up. I have AT&T. This campground is in a decent valley. Thus, no signal. Up out of the valley - great signal!" Dump stations are available at Ainsworth East City Park, Keller Park, and Bassett Municipal Park. Most parks in the area permit pets and remain open year-round, though amenities like showers may be seasonal. Visitors requiring propane fill service should plan accordingly as this service is not available at most area campgrounds. Highway noise can be a factor at parks near main roads, while creek-side locations offer more peaceful settings.

    Wacky West Travel Park

    Base camp

    Wacky West Travel Park had very nice and helpful owners. Make sure you have the phone number because their office hours are limited so that they can keep up the park. It’s small and a little crowded but serves the purpose of a base camp or overnight location.

    I attended a “Sisters on the Fly” event in Valentine, NE and this is were we all met and camped. The owners squeezed us all in and gave us a discount for our stay. One nice thing is you are in the middle of town right off the main drag so you can walk anywhere in town pretty easily.

    The restroom and shower are keyed which you receive when you check in. Down side to that I forgot to drop my key in the mail slot when I left and had to go back to do so.

    There is electric/water hook up at each site, not much in the way of shade , limitedfire rings and picnic tables. You could tell several of the sites were more towards permanent dwellings and some of the sites sat right on the entry road so you step out your camper door into the road. These sites were stacked so two of our group didn’t even try to unhook their campers.

    If you’ve never experienced sand burrs Nebraska has them and they are horrible on dogs feet. The owner of the campground made extra efforts to keep the burrs out of the immediate camping area but my dogs still picked up several. There is a cattle yard directly behind the campground so I’m not sure how it smells when it’s hot, we were there in cold weather so it was not an issue.

    Valentine has events going on and the Niobrara River is a main attraction, several of the group did a kayak float and explored the waterfalls along the river. We also walked to dinner within 1/4 mile at an excellent restaurant, Peppermill Steakhouse, worth a visit.

    The three stars is due to the location, cramped accommodations and no recreation in the immediate area. However the owners were very accommodating and the facilities were well maintained. I would stay there again. Also I lost the pictures of the campground and Valentine but included the nearby recreation areas.

    Valley View Flat Campground — Calamus SRA

    Valley View 👍🏻

    FCFS, no reservations needed. About 10 electric sites, plenty of tent and/or primitive sites. Boat dock, shower house, clean restrooms. Usually pretty peaceful. Quite a bit of shade also. Fire rings at each spot. We have a 38’ 5th wheel and have no problem parking that and a boat and tow vehicle in our area.

    Sharps Outfitters Campground

    Large campground with a variety of spots

    This campground stretches along the Niobrara River, so the sites are also spread out.

    There is a "family friendly" side, a "party" side, and a woody/secluded area. My group tent camped in the wooded area. Our sites were right along the river, but up a 10Ft embankment.

    Lots of wildlife. They do patrol to check for passes and people breaking rules.

    There is a concession hut. There are porta-potties dispersed throughout, but there is also a toilet/shower facility near the check-in area.

    We went August 2020 and no one except my group were wearing masks. Not even the staff.

    They also do tubing and kayaking.

    Some sites had tables and fire pits.

    Keller Park State Rec Area

    Nice little state park / campground.

    I usually dispersed camp. But, 90 plus degrees, with himidity, calls for electric! Fair share of reviews on this park. Most pretty accurate, id say. One lacking review is cellular. Didn't even realize no cellular until after setting up. I have AT&T. I did get an intermittent bar from band 13, (Verizon). This campground is in a decent valley. Thus, no signal. Up out of the valley - great signal! I'm setup with new cell router with 4 cellular antennas, including a directional antenna. Also have booster/repeater (Keep it off normally). Couldn't get AT&T signal. Had to use booster plus directional antenna to get signal. Band 5 only one that would connect. But, got 5mb down and 2kb up. Enough to stream with! I was in site 11. Had to point directional antenna south towards Long Pine. Hope this helps!

    Berry Bridge Campground

    Right next to Niobrara

    Berry Bridge Campground is a privately owned campground right next to the Niobrara outside of Valentine Nebraska. It offers tent sites, picnic tables,fire rings, shower house, vault toilets and bunk houses with air. It has a convenient store offering firewood,ice, and snacks. It also has tubes and kayaks to use. This campground is very lively as buses were bring people to launch their tubes or kayaks from under the bridge

    Valentine City Park

    Peaceful, pleasant park!

    We had a pull through site right next to the river. Disk golf park, and also with playground equipment. We stayed on April 8, and that is too early in the year for the city to turn on water and open the bathrooms. We are totally fine without that. There is a box to drop $5 in, but there wasn't any paperwork to fill out. I wonder if anyone was even monitoring this in the off-season. We were basically alone. This is FC-FServe and no designated spots or campsite numbers. We would love to stay here again.
