    Czechland Lake Recreation Area

    Perfect little campground

    Czechland is a gem with 11 campsites walk-up only for $20 a night with 30/50 amp. Pay with your phone with QR code scan to pay so no need to have cash or check. There is a water fill and lake to kayak and use non-motorized boats.

    Headworks Park

    It does the trick

    I find that being able to camp here is relaxing and the people are just great. There are no dirt bike or 4 wheelers riding around (not allowed)

    Riverside Park

    Great Campground

    Easy hook up, many sites with shade $20 per night. There is a shower and flush toilets but not very clean! That’s why only four stars!

    Oakland City Park

    Well manicured and quiet!

    There are six paved spots first come first serve with electric and water and a dump station close by.  There's also a nice hot shower and clean restroom.  In addition there's a golf course and beautiful swimming pool on the expansive property. It's  well worth a night or two here.  I paid $20 bucks for the night.  They also have a weekly rate of $140.

    Laurel City Park

    Bathroom was disgusting

    The women's restroom was filthy. Was going to stay here but decided not to give one toilet was clogged and filled with #2. Didn't bother to look at the second one given the state of the first and the floor. The park itself looked pretty nice and the price is super cheap....guess they don't use the funds to have the restrooms cleaned. Keep driving, there are more city parks further west to stay at or Sioux City to the east is another option depending on your direction of travel.

    Osmond City Park

    Very tiny

    Located in a small city park with only 3 obvious sites. There is a pool nearby, tennis courts, playground, picnic shelter, and park. There are businesses right across the street so quite a bit of activity during the day. Stayed here previously a few years ago and happened to be passing through again.

    Fred Penn Park

    Small and primitive

    quiet in this remote area with fishing. Located next to the Elkhorn River and Fred Penn Lake, this park offers primitive camping for $5/Day - first come, first serve. It is a great location to enjoy a nice quite picnic with your family.

    Lake Babcock at Loup Park

    Perfect spot to stop for a night.

    Quiet, bathrooms and water available, close to a main road and gas near by.

    Laurel City Park

    Quiet park away from traffic, good Verizon signal

    I didn't camp here but stopped by to check it out as I was passing through. It's very quiet, if there is not a ball game happening. It's on the edge of town, not really walkable to anywhere. There are four spots, each with a concrete pad. There is an electric hookup at each site. There is a building onsite which is probably a restroom but I did not go inside.

    My Verizon signal was very good here, over 100Mbit down. Strong 5G signal.

    The website says the cost is $10 and can be paid at the Laurel City Office.
