    Paulson RV Park

    RV, tent, and mobile homes

    They had long term parking for campers not hooked up to anything and long term parking for full hookups. No dumping station because most the sites all have sewer. Were able to hook to water through the winter as well. No one else around could hook us up to water. Super cheap too. $200 per month for long term plus electric you are responsible for and $15 per day for short term. Cheaper if you are just going to park or pop a tent.

    The convenience of this full hook-up RV Park and its close proximity to the Missouri river boat dock makes this park one of our favorites. So quiet and peaceful for me and my husband while on our annual river waterfowl hunt. Looking forward to coming back for spring fishing.

    Albion Campground

    Weekend stay

    We were attending a tractor show in a near by town and this was a close place to camp. It has full hook ups for the trailer. Very reasonably priced at $15.00 a night. There is a beautiful city park to use. One negative there are Texas Sandburs where you park the trailers.

    Veterans Memorial RV Park

    Pretty sketchyThe

     there are some full hook ups hear the area around here is all torn up the road in is cobblestone so it’s real bumpy. The campground is really a mess. There’s nothing here except your hook ups and he’s used to having construction workers at 600 a month so he wants to charge me 40 bucks for absolutely no amenities. This used to be a city park but now it’s private ownership. I’ve stayed here before a year or so ago and it’s kind of a big mess but the hook ups work.

    Newman Grove City Park

    Good spot for an overnight

    This city park has eight or nine spots available some have full hook ups and some have just water and some have just sewer and some have just electric. We stayed on spot nine, which had all three. Only downside to this little place was since it is the city park and there is a playground here, quite a bit of local traffic bringing the kids in. Nice walking trail around part of the golf course. When we were there, there was no place to pay, but I called the city clerk and she said just to put the money in a dropbox at City Hall, which is $20 now.pretty close to the road that goes through town so a little bit of traffic noise.

    Big River Marsh RV Park

    Nice little simple RV Park very close to the boat ramp.

    Nice simple RV Park very close to the boat ramp.  We like to waterfowl hunt and fish and this marsh and river is an excellent place to vacation.

    Riverside Park

    Unexpected surprise!

    Level sites. Will accommodate rigs of all sizes. 50amp electric. Water hook up. Dump station. All for $15 per night. Fairly quiet, some highway noise but not bad. Clean restroom and shower. Would stay here again.

    Perfect!

    Wonderful location right by a creek, huge park with playground equipment, big swimming pool and golf course. Full hookups (electric, water, sewer) for only $10 per night! Cute town with all the amenities!

    Cottonwood Campground

    Another great park in the Missouri River Valley!

    Great place for RV camping. My Uncle and I went through here back in 2011. All sites were reservable on-line. Every site had electric hookups. There is access to water and restrooms in each loop. Some of the sites are right near Lake Yankton. There was decent fishing but nothing too special. The park itself is very close to South Dakota, and you can visit the old time capitol of the Dakota Territory. I love the little history pieces like this so it was worth the side trip for me. It is also right near Lewis and Clark Lake which has really good fishing in the early morning. People we met were using the spot as they were passing through the area or for taking kids out for the weekend. Pets were allowed here too.

    Tyndall City Park

    Color me surprised;)

    More then once as a Dyrt Ranger I have searched in vain for a campsite listed on a map. I was completely surprised when I found the Tyndall City Park AND it had places to camp!

    When you first drive to the park it looks like your typical city park, nice fishing pond for the kids , cemented walking path, ballfields, disc golf, etc. But then down at the very end next to the ballfields are electric hookups and parking for RVs! Mind you this is no luxury campground, it’s the basics. On further exploration of the immediate area I came to the conclusion that this site is probably mostly used by visiting participants in 4H. There is a 4H complex across the street from the hookups.

    The park is located off the local neighborhood and quiet. There is no shade at the RV sites. No picnic tables or fire rings on the cement lot where the electric boxes are located. This is definitely an event oriented “campground” or overnight/visiting relatives pit stop. There is an honor box and small latrine near the sites. No privacy if it’s busy but we were totally alone and saw few people when we visited.

    The dogs enjoyed the walk around the fishing pond and it was a very relaxed atmosphere, at least to me. I did not attempt to start a fire, no one to ask if I could and no fire rings. There was a grass area by the camp sites with picnic tables and shade, you could easily put a tent/hammock in that area but I don’t know if it’s permitted.

    Overall a useful area, in town, near shopping and fuel but not a vacation destination in my opinion.

    City of Hartington Campground

    Clean campground

    This is a nice clean campground. Full hookups. 50 - 30 - 15 amp service. Can be noisy next to busy city street. Large shade trees line between the 6 sites offered. Grills at each site, but no open fires allowed. Long cemented drives great for large rigs.

    Osmond City Park

    Great city park spot

    Great overnight stop on our way through Nebraska. This city park has 5 RV/trailer pads with water and electric hookup. Suggested donation of $10/night. Right in the middle of the small town of Osmond. Bathrooms and playground with plenty of space to run. Just off the main road, but was quiet.

    Chief White Crane Recreation Area

    Perfect for families

    Our family liked this place so much that we actually changed our itinerary to stay an extra night. The kids and pets especially enjoyed it! There is a huge green space in the middle of the campground, and all around the campground are several fantastic playgrounds as well as a small beach and a dock. The sites didn't have full hookups but that worked fine for us because we snagged two sites right next to the water and bathroom/showers (and the playground!) The showers were much nicer than we expected for a state park. Lots of kids and families around, everyone was friendly and considerate. The sites were on the small side but since the price was reasonable for the amenities we didn't mind reserving two.

    Riverside Park

    Nice RV Sites

    This is a nice city park with numerous site with electric and water hookup, dump station is located on you way out of the park. The sites are grass and some of them are on some slopes. It took a few moves to get leveled out.

    Osmond City Park

    A Perfect Surprise

    We love to camp and birdwatch throughout Nebraska, though occasionally a final campsite at days-end can be hard to locate. One of the fascinating features of the state's hospitality is the number of towns that provide top-notch RV facilities for free to travelers. It really takes the stress out of travel.

    The Osborn City Park is one such park in a town of only 600-700 residents. One block off Hwy 20 in northeast Nebraska, this is loaded with amenities.: a public swimming pool, 2 well built RV pads with water and electrical hookups, a nearby bathroom and shower, grill, gazebo, and a railway caboose. The park is covered with trees and is fairly large, so we had complete privacy. There is a nearby sewer dump station. Who could ask for more? And it's all free, but you can leave a donation.

    Fred Penn Park

    okay for passing through

    Eight sites along a small lake in the small town of Nehigh. All have electric hookups. All sites are grass with no defined driveways lined up next to each other with no privacy/separation between them. Day-use area around the other side of the lake has a small playground. The women's bathroom in the day-use area was basically unusable. The website looks like people fish here. The bathrooms were ok, but the shower looked sketchy. 

    The park is located right on the highway through town so you will hear road noise, however, this campground would be ok for passing through and the price is reasonable. There were two RVs in spaces when we were there but aside from a maintenance worker mowing the lawn, we did not see anyone.

    View of the river is great

    Fair amount of trees, definitely more in the higher numbered spots. Sites are decently spaced but not great. Electrical hookups only, water available. Bathroom/showers are spotless.

    Niobrara State Park Campground

    Beautiful But Without Water in the Off Season

    Electric sites by the highway near the park entrance, but don't overlook the 4 RV sites by the fishing pond. Cabins, primitive camping, hiking, and lovely scenery.

    Campsite #43 is the only site with what I would call a view, but the view from there is excellent. The hiking was great. The area is pretty cool with Native American exhibits, the casino, and Lewis and Clark Lake nearby.

    Though we loved the scenery and wanted to stay, the park had shut off all the water. We expected the $15 off-season price since there were no longer horse rides, pool or other activities but there were no showers or restrooms in the RV site. No water to wash dishes in!

    The regular season is $20 a night but they are discussing raising that. Don't bother with the off-season.

    Also, see my reviews of Crofton and Verdigre. Camping there is not as nice but they are close and more affordable.

    USACE camping just below Lewis and Clark Lake

    Army Corps Campground with all the bells and whistles. It was closed when we went, but we will return. The interpretive center was very informative and Lewis and Clark Lake is huge with nice beaches and great fishing.

    The ranger said that electric sites in season were only $16. That is less than the state parks at the lake. Yankton is nice but don't miss the Nebraska tribal museums.

    Small Town Living

    First night is FREE

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

    20 amp service 

    Flush toilets Showers Drinking water Playground Basket ball goal Gazebo Pavilion Watchman light 

    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

Now the public is able to recreate in numerous campgrounds and recreation sites along the Nebraska and South Dakota shore line

    Great One Night Stay

    We had a great one night stay when we were passing through O’Neil on our way to South Dakota. Cute town, ok bath house and a cute play park with swings, etc. Quiet at night. The road into the campground was a little busy during the day due to the construction on the main road into town. The campground road connects to other parts of town. Would stay here again but only for one night probably. It was great having electric and water hookup.

    Family Oriented

    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

    Beautiful campground

    This campground is so nice. Electric hookup only, but full and dump station is close and nicely laid out. Campsites have lots of trees. It was quiet and peaceful. There are trails to hike and sites to see nearby. There is not a place to get diesel nearby, so plan for that if you need too. Sportsmen’s Bar & Two Rivers Hotel is a nice place to eat that’s nearby. No fuss, good food. There are however, a tremendous amount of ticks. If you bring pets, you may think about them not joining you on hikes.

    Burbach Park

    Pretty quiet park

    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.
