Tent camped at one of the many sites there are. Tent is $15 per nite and Electric os $30-$25 per nite depending on voltage. The eletric sites are all on one area with showers and in door plumbing. The tent sites have an area with showers and in door plumbing but there are also many tent sites speckled around the park, some have vault toliets and others are primitive. There are also some pack in sites. There is also equestrian campsites as well. Great historical areas and wonderfully well maintained trails. There is also a boat ramp to access the river. You do have to pay a daily park fee on top of the camping price if you do not have a NE State Park Pass those are $30
GuideI surprised my husband for a mini birthday trip in August of 2015. Yes...we went tent camping in August! The tent campgrounds were pretty empty and we were able to find a nice spot off the road. 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! We loved the hiking trails through the trees and difficult terrain. This camping trip will be another one to complete...maybe in September or October next time 😃

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)! Basic tent sights are first come, $15 a night. The park offered firewood ($6) and ice for sale. Lots of hiking trails with different levels of difficulty and elevation. Most drive up camp sites have outhouses nearby. We sometimes drove up to the group tent sites where they have clean bathrooms, running water and showers (need quarters for shower). We had a great time and enjoyed being surrounded by all the lovely trees. Staff were friendly and the park was clean. Only bummer is the steps to the “cave” is still closed.

Came out to camp one night with my 5 year old. We stated on a friday night in October and the campground was not too busy at all.. maybe only 5 other groups there. Showers and bathroom were all fine, campsite was clean and well maintained. Loved that the tent camping sites were actually surrounded by trees, I see way to many tent campsites that are basically just in the middle of a grass field. There are walking paths and a couple of playgrounds around the lake close enough to walk to but far enough away they wont ever be a bother. Also if you like disc golf than this is the place to go, there is a brand new 18 hole course right next to the camp!

My husband and I tent camped one night at this park. We arrived around 8 pm and even though the office was getting ready to close, the woman behind the counter was very kind and helpful. She helped us with finding our spot and with getting firewood. Our basic tent site was lakeside and had a fire pit and picnic table. The site was so well maintained it was hard to find small sticks for kindling.
The grounds have private bathrooms with toilets and showers. There are two nice playgrounds and a swimming pool. Most campers were enjoying fishing in the small lake. Kayaks were available to rent for a small fee. Kids enjoyed riding bikes around the flat roads.
This is a great spot off I-29 to set up camp and have a rest. It's also a good spot to take young kids fishing.

Grew up camping and hiking here. Not many amenities but the bathrooms are clean and the trails are fantastic. The view is great from the side bluff train. Close to Nebraska city. Tent sites are not too close together. Can get pretty busy on weekends in the summer.
GuideIt's a nice park with lots of RV sites for $25-$30 and tent sites for $15. This cost is in addition to the $6/ day in state or $12/ day out of state vehicle charge. We stopped at the closest tent area from the park entrance. It has flush toilets and showers (.50/3 minutes). There were about 20 individual tent sites in this area, some of which are level, but most aren't. As we were the only ones there, we took a level spot right near the bathrooms. We chased off several raccoons, but they eventually gave up and went back to their trash can rummaging. We had no further issues with them, and were careful to keep all food locked up in the car. There are some nice views and hiking trails and the park was clean.

Good for families or a solo cowboy. Well maintained, water is a available, and clean bathrooms that smell good. Nice picnic areas. Primitive tent sites and RV sites with electrical hookups. First come, first serve.
GuideDue to all the flooding along the Missouri River the campgrounds are still in great shape. Even most of the tent sites are usable. Could still get to the cave, (yes I know it’s not an actual cave) and to other parts of the park as well.
ScoutWe tent camped with 3 kids last week. Tons of fun hiking and exploring. Would have been nice to have trails closer to camp area, but drives were short and the air conditioner felt great after hiking. The kids were a little disappointed with the cave, they thought they could go inside. Over all it was very clean and tons of fun. We would definitely go back!

RV and tent campers only $15 a night with hookup. TENT CAMPING IS FREE! 10-night maximum. Dumping station. Water and electrical. The restrooms are quite a ways away. No showers available.
The town has some decent shopping, such as the Catholic thrift store which is so well set up it could be mistaken for a decent antique store, and a local clothing store with unique items.
The disc golf course in town is challenging and well laid out.
Rangerhttps://reservations.go2gov.net/parks/base/AuburnNEParks/publicSite/entry.faces Drop the period at the end, this is the site to reserve a spot not what's on the sign! 17 sights #7 and 12 are first come first serve all others go to the web site posted above. Non potable water at each site, dump station as you enter. Lots of things to do around town. Site will accommodate any rig. 30/ 50 amp electric. Rate has increased to $20 per night. Tent camping available
LegendThis is a great weekend spot not much to do around the park. The campsites are nice but close with not much space in between. There are 2 campgrounds, the one north of the highway is a horse campground but required. There are nice trails in this area. The campground on the south is more of a tent site. There are vault toliets, no showers. A lot of great trails o this side. All campsites include a picnic table and fire ring.
GuideMy first visit to this park was a blast. If you live in the Midwest, I would suggest a visit. Lots of hiking and things to explore.
For hiking - we went up loop 10 and down loop 9. It was a steep climb to the top but had great overlook views. If you do the whole loop, coming down 9 is a breeze.
For camping - we stayed in hollows creek. The rv sites are nice, clean and have a nice fire pit. They are a little close to each other, but I like how the bluff helped split them up a little (hence the steep incline others have mentioned). Tent camping sites looked awesome, they are spread out throughout the park, and there’s several walk in sites. We will probably do that next time.
The cave was neat to see, but the hiking, and rest of the park was pretty impressive.
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!

Pierce creek is just on the out side of the town Essex. There is nice quiet lake, with some fish jumping. On the Southside there is a day area with grills and picnic tables. There are also access to hiking, horse and bike trails. You go the west side and there is a equestrian campsite that is pretty basic. There is not much but electrical sites, corals, and a outhouse. Now on the north side there is a regular campground. There are pads and electrical hook ups. As well as the tents sites farther in. The bathrooms are full. There is sinks, toilets and even showers. This place maybe just that hidden gem for some of you in southwestern Iowa.
LegendFirst off let me make it clear, I like this park. But for me this is not the greatest camping area. The sites just are to close for me as a tent camper. The could almost use some of the day use picnic area as primitive sites. The rest of this park is great. For one it is clean, and maintained. The hiking trails are not for bikes, and they have several different levels or skills levels. The look out was pretty cool as well. We will return, and do some more hiking. I am not sure the campsites were fall, but it could be because the applejacks festival going on across the river in Nebraska City.

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. Friendly staff. Homey. Green space. Great dog park.
Guide
A nice little clearing easy to set up a tent in. There seems to be some private RV camping nearby which I was unsure about but they never came and bothered me. One of those trees in a mulberry, don’t put your tent under it you will have mulberries dropping on you in July. There is a nice walk towards the water, just wear pants and closed shoes to avoid the stinging nettle. There also is no fire pit or amenities at this site
This spot would be great for bird watchers
ScoutYou have to hike a bit to get to the river, but the view is worth it. Cool cave with drawings and graffiti, as well as a used-to-go town and cemetery. Campsites are very green and there are a lot of hiking trails!
It's just that, well, it is in Nebraska.

Jake 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!

We were looking for a quick detour to set up our tent and sleep for a few hours. This was exactly that. There was a picnic table, a fire pit, a nice breeze, a lake and it was quiet and secluded
ScoutTried to see if they had any openings and told them I have a SUV with a roof tent so no power or water needed, and was told “we don’t do that” and was hung up on.
GuideI had a great time going with my girlfriend. There is alot of spots to camp (tent/RV) and the area was clean. We were really interested in the history of the area, only downside is that the caves were not as exciting and people have destroyed it with graffiti.
TravelerStayed here in the winter (March) and this was one of the few Nebraska Campgrounds that was open.
Super clean, owners were friendly and helped us in/out of the campground.
We were only here for a night, but everything worked that we needed minus water which wasn't insulated to use. No issues as we were just in for the night, but worth mentioning.
GuideWaubonsie’s camping area has tent and rv, power and no power sites. Modern restrooms and showers are available. Trails are beautiful and quiet, with several scenic overlooks. Bikes are not allowed on trails. This was a perfect place to take my 12-year-old daughter hiking, and we will be back!
