Best Cabin Camping near Norfolk, NE

Brand new campground moving up quickly. The cabins are 5 star quality and they're still building more. RV sites are spacious, concrete patios w/ picnic tables, new fire rings. Baby trees were just planted to help with some shade, but there are a few mature trees too. Along the Big Platte River & has a pond for fishing only, with sites around the pond. The shower house is brand new and beautiful & very clean inside. Great place to stay in eastern Nebraska! Columbus has activities for kids too. Water park (the Pawnee plunge) & playgrounds (Centennial Park). There's a Walmart & Menards within 10 min. And plenty of food choices too.

I would have given this nice little campground a 3-star rating, but I felt the 8 foot pads were a little bit too small. To be fair, they have placed a handful of larger pads throughout, but it would be insanely cramped for larger units to maneuver and even turn their rigs around. $15.00 per night for campers. $10.00 a night for tents. Cabins ran $35.00 a night. They did have a men's and women's toilet building (flush or hole?) the building was locked, and we couldn't use it. They have 30 amp electric, 1 location to obtain water (communal water spigot), 1 picnic table per site, and garbage buckets provided for nearly all sites. Oak trees provide shade from the sun. One has to look up, though. we saw several locations where larger dead and broken branches were just hanging on by a thread. They have 2 cabins that are available. The entire campground is an easy stones throw from the city swimming pool. There are 2 large picnic pavillions, and electricity is provided. Walking trails are available (we did not walk on them this trip). There is a lazy little creek that meanders around the outskirts of the campgrounds. Playground equipment in 3 locations for the kids. Large fields for others playing around. We didn't need a dump site, and I'm sorry, I didn't think to look to see if they had one. They may have one, and I think I would have noticed it if they had, but take this with a grain of salt. Town is just down the road a half mile or so, and most needs can be met there. Finally, I have to mention the highway ¼ mile away. Heavy semi traffic. Campgrounds are located at the bottom of a hill. Those semi's blast those Jake brakes. Over and over again. 2 days of that, and we left early and drove to a new campground. Enough was enough.

First night is FREE

Additional days will be $8.00 with a maximum of 7 days

Burbach Park is a little gem that we kind of stumbled onto. Crofton is a sweet small town and you can feel very safe taking a stroll. While you are in town make sure you visit the local business as a thank you for the nice little stop. 

The parking pad could use a bit of mowing as it is a grass and dirt pad. There are electric hookups for two rv’s. The parking area could hold a midsize RV. 

The park is right downtown just past the main street with houses on one side of the street. There are several mature trees with a nice grass lawn. An amazing memorial for their hero’s from throughout the military conflicts. It is worth the visit to small downtown to see how proud they are of their hero’s. Crofton is settled between prairie farmland and the beautiful Lewis and Clark Lake. Crofton is a great destination if you are seeking fishing, hunting, boating, hiking and so much more. I didn’t even bring up the winter activities. Visiting a city park will open your eyes to small town living. If you are lucky to find a city park in small town Nebraska it is generally a town that is proud of what they have to offer. Some parks are free or charge a very small fee. Stop and spend some time getting to know the folks of Crofton

Well maintained campgrounds. Good shade with a good view of the lake. Water is close. Spacious campsites. There are tent and RV sites with hook ups. Some are first come first serve and some are reservable. Well stocked camp store with friendly staff.
There are showers but you pay for them, bring your quarters. It is pretty open between sites

This was a very easy safe spot to spend the night. New sign states $10/night, second night is free. Unfortunately, I could not figure out where the city office is. According to Google it is in the corner of the park, but that looked like a shit down old car shop. Would have loved to pay since they provided electric hookups!

The previous listing that says it's by a lake is wrong, that is "Burbach Campground" this is "Burbach Park".

The camping pad can be a bit hard to see, it was covered in leaves when I got there so I didn't see it at first, but it is right at the gps location on the listing.
