    McGreer Camper Park

    Camping on a working farm

    Camper Park is just off the interstate and was a great place to stay for a night when I was on a road trip. The lounge area, laundry room and bathroom are kept clean. The owner is wonderful. She even gave me some eggs for my breakfast and cucumbers as a snack for the road.

    McGreer Camper Park

    Loved it!

    We were exhausted after a long windy day on I80 and this little stop was a god send. The owner is absolutely amazing and got us all set up over the phone with a last minute reservation. The sites are gravel, but very level. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer. The sun was setting as we pulled in and it was gorgeous! The campground has a small office with what looks like a common room and showers (we did not use). A Maverik gas station is across the street with tons of amenities. A little bit of highway noise, as it’s right next to I80, but very minimal, didn’t disturb us. We will absolutely stop again!

    Luke- The Lifesaver!

    We can’t say enough great things about Oregon Trail RV Park! While traveling through the area with our dogs, we had planned to stay at Lake McConaughy, but the campgrounds there weren’t as dog-friendly as advertised during the off-season. Thankfully, Luke, the owner of Oregon Trail RV Park, stepped in at the last minute and gave us a place to stay. This park was exactly what we needed—easy to find, impeccably maintained, and truly welcoming to both us and our pets. The RV spaces were clean and spacious, with plenty of room for our dogs to enjoy themselves. Luke’s friendly and accommodating attitude made the experience stress-free, which is priceless when you’re on the road. If you’re in the Lake McConaughy area and looking for a quiet, pet-friendly RV park with excellent service, look no further. Oregon Trail RV Park is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back!

    Nice Little Town

    Nice spot to stay for a night or two. Within walking distance of a couple of bars and grills and a bowling alley, so make sure to check them out. Cash only and no advance reservations, but plenty of spots were left when we were there.

    Not what I expected

    When we arrived there were oil cans and trash right next to our camp site. Buckets with old oil in them also. Someone did come and pick them up during the night. Shower house was a little sketchy to say the least.

    McGreer Camper Park

    Just an overnight stop

    Campsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin. This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy o/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can’t be beat. Was a great spot to stop rest get some sleep before traveling on.

    Good site for a short overnight

    We stopped here for an overnight stay on our way to Colorado. Owners were very friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. Downside is the lack of shade. The friendly camp kitty greeted us when we arrived.

    Nice end to a long day

    Had a full hookup space. She gave a discount for cash. Bathhouse was a little rough. Not much privacy. This is a working farm. Right off I-80.

What you should know

Cash payment preferences: Some campgrounds offer discounts for cash payments or have specific payment requirements. "Nice spot to stay for a night or two. Within walking distance of a couple of bars and grills and a bowling alley, so make sure to check them out. Cash only and no advance reservations, but plenty of spots were left when we were there," advises Brittany M. about Creekside.

Train proximity: Be prepared for occasional train noise at certain locations. "The only negative is that the campground is right next to train tracks, and trains travel past it often.

Limited yurt camping: While traditional yurt camping in Sidney, Nebraska is uncommon, some sites offer cabin alternatives. The limited yurt camping near Sidney, Nebraska means advance reservations are essential during peak seasons.

Tips from RVers

Sewer hookup positioning: Check the layout of hookups before setting up. "Since the sewer is on the north side of each site, you may have to run your hose under the camper or use the sewer hookup in the lot next to you, if no one is parked there," advises Karen W. about her experience at Oregon Trail RV Campground.

Highway noise considerations: Some campsites are located near interstates with variable noise levels. "So this isn't much more than a place to sleep, but it works while passing through a lot of nothingness on the interstate. On a working farm, with incredibly friendly owners. Easy to pay with Venmo and others, good service on phones and a safe place with other travelers," explains ryan S. about his stay at McGreer Camper Park.

Shade availability: Consider seasonal temperatures when selecting sites with or without tree cover. "We stopped here for an overnight stay on our way to Colorado. Owners were very friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. Downside is the lack of shade," notes Cathy F. about her experience at McGreer Camper Park.
