    Sherman Reservoir State Rec Area Campground sits directly in Loup City, offering RV sites with electric hookups, 30/50 amp service, and water connections from May through November. The campground provides pull-through sites with picnic tables and fire rings, plus a sanitary dump station for convenience. Nearby, Tomahawk Municipal RV Park in Broken Bow (about 40 miles west) accommodates big rigs year-round with full hookup sites including water, electric, and sewer connections. For RV campers seeking additional options, Kearney RV Park & Campground features level concrete pads with full hookups approximately 45 miles south of Loup City. "Nice level pads. Easy check in (after hours) called ahead and paid and they left us a camp map and our site info," noted one RV traveler about the Kearney location.

    Most RV parks in the region require reservations during summer weekends, though midweek availability is typically better. Nebraska state parks and recreation areas require both a daily vehicle permit ($8-14 depending on residency) and camping fees, making the total cost higher than the posted site rates alone. Cell service varies throughout the region but remains generally reliable near larger towns. Pet-friendly policies are standard at most RV campgrounds, though specific restrictions may apply. During spring migration season (March-April), RV sites fill quickly with visitors coming to view Sandhill cranes, making advance reservations essential. Fort Kearny State Recreation Area, about 50 miles south, offers year-round RV camping with electric sites backing up to small fishing lakes and good highway access.

      Fort Kearny State Recreation Area

      Great base camp for viewing Sandhill cranes

      Nice camp ground with helpful gate attendants, this Nebraska park represents the conundrum of many public campgrounds. Here, there are plentiful showers (yes, 75 cents for three minutes, woopdeedoo) but no water spigots and few usable pit toilets. There are primitive sites, 30 amp (yellow) and 50 amp (red) sites so no generator noise and all sites are near stocked ponds. A mix of overnight and long term visitors. Sandhills cranes can be viewed in the adjacent corn stubble in April. Limited cell service and no WiFi

      Kearney RV Park & Campground

      Nice stopover

      Stopped here for one night headed east. Friendly staff, nice laundry and bathroom facilities that are handicapped accessible. Big dog park area for the pups. No fires here. Level concrete pads and you can move the picnic tables if needed. There are storm shelters available in the bathhouse.

      Fort Knox Campground

      Looked ok from what we could see…but you must be self- contained

      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.

      Trade Winds

      Fun, lively campground but too close together

      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.

      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.

      Cottonwood Park

      Would get ve 5 stars if there were full hook ups!

      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.

      Mormon Island State Recreation Area Campground

      Easy access from I-80

      Spacious and well maintained campground. In March, the campground was still in WINTER season so only one bathroom location open and no showers open in winter, and limited water access points, but we had a electric hookup. Our campsite loop bordered vegetation, was spacious between campsites, and fairly protected from Interstate noise. Had a fire ring and picnic table. Several lakes and pretty trees. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful with questions! Don’t forget to visit sandhill cranes in March/April.

      Mormon Island State Recreation Area Campground

      Good Stop Along the Way

      Easy access to I80 for a quick over night rest. Only a handful of pull thru site but tons of back in. $38 for electric pull thru site which was level gravel. No campground WiFi but our Nomad Internet worked well enough. Verizon phones worked too. I80 road noise was pretty loud but certainly not a deal breaker. We’d stay here again.

      Bader Memorial Park

      Bader review

      When first arriving there is an office that has showers, bait, and vending machines. Tons of tent spots to choose from. You have the option to fish from 3 or 4 ponds plus the river is walking distance. Beach area for kids seems to have people there often. Good weekend get away.
