Full Hookups
The only good from this Campground is its full hookup year round. It was dirty and very outdated. Most of the sewer hookups were broken and backed up and the electric boxes were broken and outdated. If you have a newer rv I would suggest not staying here or try to find a good electrical box. No fire rings, most sites just had a fire on the ground. This place is just run down and dirty, ok place for a night.

Great Campground
This campground is one of our favorites. It’s got clean restrooms and showers, plenty of water available plus the dump station. Nice lake for fishing or kayaking. Great trails for hiking or mountain biking. Super quiet place and some pretty great sunsets!

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.

Nice but dirty
Nice campground but the bathrooms were disgusting. Mud on the floor in the shower.
Spider webs and dead bugs everywhere. 20 min of cleaning could have made it enjoyable.

Underwhelmed
Pretty little campground but services were sparse and the beach was not nice when we were there in August. Make sure you have quarters to get a shower!! We only found one shower house for over 100 campsites.

Cute simple short term sites
They have 18 electric sites $26/night and tent non electric sites for $18/night. 7 day max stays. Reservable.

Quite location
$20.00 a night gives you 30amp service. Picnic tables, grass site. There is only one grill in the campgrounds, and that was located on site L. You have to call the number pictured, and police will come and unlock your electrical box. They will also take your money if you wish to pay them directly. They spray for mosquitoes, and they were not a problem while we were there. Many local dog walkers, they leave many, many land minds around. You can have shade in the morning, but for the most part, all sites see sunshine throughout the day. Nice place. I should mention showers are free. Bathrooms are clean and just across the road from where you can camp. Dump station is also just west of the bath house.

Bloomfield City Park
Nice city campground
15 campsites all pull throughs. Sites 1 - 7 are in the sun next to the road. Sites 8 - 24 are under beautiful shade treesAll have water electric and sewer hookups. 50 - 30 -15 amp service. Grills at each site. No firepits. No bathrooms. $25.00 a night. You MUST call to get electrics unlocked. Most of the campground was filled with workers. They were gone most of the day. These guys partied hard on the weekend.

Easy access and large sites
Great stopover campground or for staying awhile. Norfolk is nearby and has a lot of restaurants and shopping. The Cowboy Trail starts here and continues to Valentine, NE. Clean bathrooms and showers as well.

Dead Timber State Rec Area
Quiet retreat
There are areas dedicated for daily use, primitive camping and electric sites. Great Lake for kayaking or a small jon boat. Has restrooms available, no showers. No dumpsite. Fire pit and picnic table available at sites.
Appears to be a quiet retreat with minimal campers.
lisa C.ScoutWillow Creek State Rec Area
This place sucked
Me, my husband and grandson went there couple weeks ago. We’re supposed to stay for three days. We brought our three dogs. The host just got pissed off at us and told us we had to leave because one of our dogs kept barking at three in the morning well who in the hell walked by a camper at 3 o’clock in the morning because that’s the only reason why he would bark is because somebody was right there. And I paid for three days and didn’t get my money back. Didn’t get anything which is a bunch of bullshit.

Czechland Lake Recreation Area
Great first come first serve campground
This is a nice small campground that is well taken care of. We stayed at site number 8 which may be one of the more unlevel spots. The passenger side of our 5th wheel was about 7" lower than driver side and rear of fifth wheel was about 3" lower than front before we levelled out.
Pros:
-Well maintained walking trails that are perfect for dogs
-Most sites have 30 and 50 amp hookups
-Fire rings and picnic tables at most sites
-$18 a night for electric hookups
-Quiet
Cons:
-Some sites are very unlevel
-No water or dump station

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.

Very nice city campground/park
The sites are large with space, electric only,ok bath and shower. A large fenced dog park. Great stop for a night or two. Host very helpful.

Ta-Ha-Zouka Park
Much better!
We stayed there late July 2023. This year they added a camp host. When we pulled up, he greeted us and was very friendly! Having a camp host has made the campsite much more safe and appealing. The locals told us it used to be a mess and it's so much better now. The campsite was much better than I expected for Norfolk, NE. We will be staying here again! Can't beat the price.
Before we pulled up, we had to fill with water because there is no water at the sites themselves. And no sewer dump at the sites. (There is one on your way out). However, we had full 50 amp power. The concrete pads made it nice to park the RV on for easy set up.

Willow Creek State Rec Area
Much to be desired. Lots of potential
Beautiful lake with nice beaches, however, when we went, the water has a “no contact order” from May- end of September. This was not disclosed when booking. You can still take your boat if you have one. Bathrooms were clean, but old. No showers in main campsite area.

Trying to reserve spot
I am driving 8 hours across the state of Nebraska to go spend some time with my daughter who attends Wayne State College and to watch some theater performances she is in. I wanted to ensure that I had a place to park my camper but unfortunately I am unable to reserve a spot. It is first come first serve only. Hope I have luck finding a spot when I arrive in about a month to stay for 5 nights!

Howells Community Park
Good overnight spot while traveling.
Pros
-Water/Electricity/Dump station
-Public restroom
-Near a gas station and convenience mart
-Free will donation for firewood
-Flat camping spots
-Park nearby
-Fire Rings
Cons
- There are only around 6 spots
-You share your water connection with your neighbor
-RV slips are right at the park entrance so there is the risk of traffic non stop if the park is being used for an event
I came in a couple days before memorial weekend and all of the RV spots were reserved so I only did a short drive around grabbing some photos. It looks like a great spot to swing in overnight if there are any open spots.

Clarkson City Park
Campground with a dump station next to a city park
Pros
-Amenities for the kids, (Playground, pool)
-Public Bathrooms nearby that have showers
-Dump Station
-Electricity
-Water on premises to fill tanks with
Cons
-I didn't see much for gas and food in town if you are hoping to swing in for a night and get back on the road tomorrow
-Dump station could use a bigger trash can but they seem to have done a good job putting other cans around the park
This is a fairly clean and mostly level campground that is a nice stay if your end destination is Clarkson. If you are looking for a spot to swing in, fill up on fuel and food, and leave the next day then the nearby campground in Howells might suite you a little better.

Staff was friendly, multiple camping sites to choose from but makes could be a little cleaner

Silver Creek City Park
Fairly nice
 There’s a suggested donation of $15 and a box with envelopes to put it in it’s electric only the sides are not necessarily terribly level there’s only four sides is difficult to find when you come in. You have to actually go through the gates that go to the little circle drive around the lake and to your left by the picnic shelter he will see for pedestals are kind of hard to find.

It's a BIG Parking Lot!
It's been a couple of years, but this place is a gravel lot with w/e hookups. there is a dump station close. There were a couple of run down trailers there, but that's about it. It is a good place for an overnight or even a few nights stay. If I remember right, it was $25 a night. I am looking at going there again so I can visit my son who lives in Omaha.
Lee D.LegendFred 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.

Summit Lake State Rec Area
Quiet and worth booking
Pros: Quiet, walking trails, lake, bar nearby, clean showers and bathroom, building a new playground as of 10/2022
Cons: Dump station is on a noticeable uphill slope, so you won't be able to completely empty a tank if your setup is the wrong way. No water hookups at sites.
We stayed in October 2022 at site 28. This is my favorite site because it has a convienient water spicket right next to it if you want to fill your freshwater tank without moving your rig. The only drawback is that it is right next to the showers so a little busy. Campground is well kept. Lake is low as of 2022 but looks to be refilling.
