ScoutMy first time camping in Nebraska. Ive been to several throughout the US. Loved the spot, I was right next to the lake, great swimming access. Downside drinking water access was difficult.
TravelerGood stay, clean bathrooms and showers. Nice camp store that’s sells pizza! Very close to the Nebraska crossing outlet mall! 😊
TravelerClose (but not too close) to I-80, we stayed here as a way point cruising across Wyoming/Nebraska/Iowa. Clean facilities, quiet vibe, it was just what we needed after a long day of driving.
GuideThis is the best lake in Nebraska for camping! They are tent sites right by the lake. The bathrooms are pretty clean. There’s a huge no-wake area of the lake for kayaking and paddle boarding. They also offer boat rentals.
GuideOkay for a one-night stop, but definitely priced on the high side. Sites are very close together. And pretty noisy right next to I-80. A special bright spot was that there are huge corn fields on both sides. I happen to be there just when the corn was perfect, snagged me a few ears for the refrigerator. Tasty Nebraska corn!
ScoutWe were passing through Nebraska and opted to stay the night here. The campground is new and will be even nicer when the trees are big enough to provide shade. We only stayed one night but enjoyed the walk to the small waterfall in the park. There is a large dog park, clean restrooms and nice trails for walking.
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!
TravelerVery disappointing sites and stay. Paid a premium for a pull thru site with a patio. Site B11 was not level towards the front of the site leaving us to unhook our tow car and pull it in the front. Since the sites are so close together someone arrived late at night parking directly behind us not allowing us to connect our car in the morning. Oh yea site B11 faces equipment used by the Nebraska DPW - lovely yellow dump trucks greeted us for $97.00 a night. Big rigs stay somewhere else this place is not worth the $ or aggravation. The entrance and exit are the same road narrow and difficult to navigate.
