"Just car tent camped here with my fiancé and dog over the weekend. We had many camp sites to choose from because it’s back to school time in NE (timing, timing, timing)!"
"I saw that their hiking trails were challenging. I got two dogs and love a challenge. The views the scenory made you feel like you got away from civilization."
$30 / night
"When we went they were resurfacing the road all the way down to the cave so if you wanted to see the Indian Cave it was about a 2mile hike, which we didn’t mind, aside from the Nebraska, August heat!"
"The camping spots that are the walk up sites are amazing - you can do sites surrounded by trees and private, or ones near the playground. All great sizes and partially shaded."
"We were in Site 2 and enjoyed the plush green scenery around us! Aside from a vegetable garden, there is a beautiful garden of flowers and plants that you can walk through. It smells so nice!"
"This year is an Outage shut down so the Campsite and others around the plant is very minimal. You need to call if anything is open for your stay."
"It is close to the highway and you can certainly hear it but it didn’t bother me, it’s kinda handy to have a place close to the highway when you’re just stopping for the night."
"This site is $0 is nice quite area right off main highway camp sites are first come first serve"
"Was confused at first because there was a private road sign near the turn off, but after some looking it does look like it’s a legit spot to camp. Good enough for a place to lay your head at least."
"There seems to be some private RV camping nearby which I was unsure about but they never came and bothered me."
$27 / night
"This park is a beautiful lake. We saw white pelicans and blue herons on this visit but it is not uncommon to see hawks, owls, and eagles in the area."
"Lots of sites but majority are on top of the hill away from the water."
"Park has easy access from Highway. Nice mix pull-through and back-in sites. Pet friendly with large dog park and plenty of green space with mature trees."
"Coming from MO, Nebraska is usually just a one night stop for us (as we head onto bigger and cooler states). We were happy to find this clean RV park near Nebraska City. Big, but quiet."
"This campsite is on the north side of Auburn, NE very close to the fairgrounds, the rodeo arena, the wellness center, and the city fishing lake."

GuideComing from MO, Nebraska is usually just a one night stop for us (as we head onto bigger and cooler states). We were happy to find this clean RV park near Nebraska City. Big, but quiet. Friendly staff. Homey. Green space. Great dog park.
GuideWe only stayed here one night but would have gladly stayed longer. We didn't use everything but it seems to have all the amenities you might need - full hookups, propane, showers, laundry, dog park, play space for kids.
We were pretty close to our neighbors but not so close that it felt uncomfortable. Staff accommodated our need for a late check-in and even called to make sure we knew how to get to our site.
Really beautiful surrounding landscape and not too much road noise. Not sure if that might change depending on the site.
All in all, a good experience!
LegendLet me start out by saying this is an absolute beautiful city park. They have a little fishing lake, disc golf, volleyball courts, a playground, and a dog park. They do offer camping for rvs as well as tents and at a very affordable price. If you are like me and feel kind of funny about camping in the middle of a city. This place may still get you out of a pinch while traveling, and yes they have showers and very clean bathrooms. Don't knock it til you try it.
GuideVictorian Acres was fine for one night. Not a lot to say about it. It backs up to the highway, but after a long day of driving we slept through the noise. There weren’t any fire pits because “it was too cold”. That’s exactly why we wanted one. The bathhouse was ok. The women’s bathroom was fine, even large for the size of the campground. Unfortunately, both toilets in the men’s bathroom were backed up and broken, huge bummer! 💩 There was a small dog park , we didn’t get to use it since we got in late and left early so I cannot comment on the condition. We were on site 55, easy to access and leave from. It was sort of level, but we still felt like we were tipping sideways a bit in the van. There were 30amp electric and water hookups.
LegendThis park is a beautiful lake. We saw white pelicans and blue herons on this visit but it is not uncommon to see hawks, owls, and eagles in the area. This is a new park dedicated this year by the Nemaha NRD: sort of a multi-county natural resource agency found exclusively in Nebraska.
The picnic tables, vault toilets, paved walking trails, playground equipment are all new and well laid out. Gravel slabs with electrical hookup are only $12 a night but that is deceiving because you need to purchase a $5 day pass or $15 annual pass to come to the park. Yet even the some of the primitive sites have slabs for a pop-up and did not appear to cost anything beyond your vehicle pass.
The lake is too small for any boat with more than a trolling motor (there is a boat ramp) and should be outstanding for a kayak or canoe. Fishing should be great here. Paved trail and wide gravel slabs with raised fire pits should make this a great rustic getaway for handicapped campers. There is even a paved path to the end of a jetty of fishing in the lake.
This park is close to the Steamboat Trace Hiking/Biking Trail which is a 26-mile trail following the bluffs and coming within spitting distance of the Missouri River. Peru Nebraska is close, home of one of the oldest colleges this side of the Mississippi. Peru is also close for limited supplies such as Ice and band-aids. Auburn and Nebraska City are both about 10 miles away, Neb City has a Walmart.
I think this park is best for a quiet weekend getaway. I recommend you contact the NRD for an annual pass and take advantage of the other parks they operate. You could hike or Bike the Trace and tent camp for free!
GuideMs. Betty, — she answers the phone when you call to make a reservation! All sites are pull through. Probably around 7-8 total sites. 30 amp and 50 Amp. Nice level gravel, shaded lots. Only two campers here tonight. It was a gem of a find, and don’t know that I would have known about it had I not opened The Dyrt! Do yourself a favor— call Ms. Betty and get her directions! They are much better than GPS!!!
I believe I’ll stay here for 2-3 nights vs just the 1 had planned for. The campground is clean as a whistle and for those that want to “get away,” then you’ll love it! Ms. Betty’s already share with me where I can get get a great breakfast in the a.m. — just a short walk from the campsite. You are literally a part of this little town— Nemaha, NE

Reasonable and felt welcomed the moment I drove up.
GuideCentrally located and walkable. There is a small lake close by that we walked the dogs too. Also 20 minute bike ride to GSR Casino. I appreciated the free filtered water dispenser in the office.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! Little Rivers Edge is a campground conveniently located near 2 of Nebraska's major cities, but far enough to finally disconnect! Check them out and share some pics of your stay!
