Best Equestrian Camping near Tekamah, NE

64 Reviews

No equestrian camping facilities with dedicated horse corrals were identified near Tekamah, Nebraska based on the available data. The campgrounds within driving distance—including Lewis and Clark State Park Campground, Onawa-Blue Lake KOA, and Two Rivers State Recreation Area—do not feature horse-specific amenities such as corrals, stalls, or dedicated equestrian campsites. While these campgrounds allow pets, none explicitly accommodate horses or provide specialized equestrian facilities according to their listed features.

Campers seeking horseback riding opportunities may need to look beyond the immediate Tekamah area for suitable equestrian campgrounds. The nearby campgrounds primarily cater to tent camping, RV camping, and cabin stays with standard amenities like electric hookups, water access, and shower facilities. Lewis and Clark State Park provides lake access and hiking trails, but no designated bridle trails or horse-friendly camping areas appear in the facility data. Visitors planning to camp with horses should contact campgrounds directly to inquire about potential accommodation for equestrian needs or explore state parks farther from Tekamah that specifically advertise horse camping facilities.

    Danish Alps State Recreation Area Camping

    All By Myself

    I pulled in and found a wide open campground. I picked a site high on the bluff overlooking the reservoir. It had quite the view. It’s a newer area so trees are planted for the future. Sites are spacious with water and both 30 & 50 amp hookup. Clean dump station that also has a fish cleaning station. Playground, boat ramp, picnic area fishing, birdwatching, equestrian camp & trails, something for everyone.

    Danish Alps State Recreation Area Camping

    Unexpectedly Pleasant

    We didn't actually Camp there and truthfully I'm not so sure I ever even saw the campgrounds. But the lake in the area is beautiful and there's quite a large space to the park with lots of trails and open field areas. I believe you have to pay a fee to the DNR for a day pass or purchase an annual Nebraska park pass/license in order to even go through the park. There's a few places outside of town that advertise horseback riding and I always thought that would be a sweet place to do so. We mainly went to fish!

    Lake Cunningham Campground

    Quaint property

    This is one of my favorites as well!

    This is situated in a very incredible neighborhood of Omaha! Close to the interstate for easy access! Very mature trees and landscape.

    Hiking trails, no wake boating, paddle boards (available for rent).

    Pros: Great Lake

    cons: we felt really on top of our neighbors here, though a simple drive around showed us areas that are better than others.

    Lewis and Clark State Park Campground

    Short weekend getaway

    Nice campground. Very few tent only - mostly RVs/trailers. Washrooms basic but clean. Large site under trees with mix of sun & shade. Grassy area for tent. Access to water close by. Large playground for kids. Campground host had firewood. Picnic table & firepit with grill rack in good condition. Nearby boat ramp to load kayak onto Blue Lake. Many water lilies but sheltered at one end so good for kayak. Everyone seemed friendly though some folk stayed up pretty late on Friday!

    Lewis and Clark State Park Campground

    Nice, and clean lake

    This place was pleasantly clean to me. Blue lake which is the lake this state park sits on. When you drive in from the road you see on your right the lake and to your left are houses. You go farther down and you see picnic accesses off the lake. And there is a swimming area and beach further down with a fully accessible restroom. There is also a keelboat on display and visitor center with a musuem. The center was closed when we were here, (thanks covid). Behind that is a dock and a little look out tower next to it. This is where we saw people kayak mainly. You go farther down and this was where the campsites were. This appeared to be more of a park set up for rv and campers than any tents. You go farther down pass this and you find more accesses to trails, and taller grass. This is a great park especially for a rv, and how clean it is.

    Lewis and Clark State Park Campground

    Nice evening swim after a hot day

    Vibe: Relaxed summer lake fun. 

    Cleanliness: Average 

    Facilities: Slightly dated but adequate 

    General spots: Good size, good spacing, not private. Large cottonwood trees offer good shade on lake side spots. 

    Our site: 10. Close to the swimming area. Not far from bathrooms. 

    Noise: Friendly chatter. Mostly quiet. Some music from the summer camp across the lake(see below). 

    Cell signal: Good (Verizon)

    Other: The lake isn’t huge, but the water was not murky and you could wade out pretty far and still be shallow enough to stand. A summer camp is across the lake and they played some evening music and morning music starts at 7:30.

    Union Pacific Cabooses — Two Rivers SRA

    Fun place to take the kids

    If you enjoy some extra comforts, rent one of the train cabooses which feature a small kitchen, bathroom, AC and beds with mattresses. Our kids loved the lofted full sized bed (but we kicked them to the bunk beds). There are charcoal grills outside, a close by swimming area, and lots of space to wander.

    Goldenrod Campground — Two Rivers SRA

    Some beach access

    Goldenrod is one of 6 campgrounds at Twin Rivers State Park. Half of this campground has electric and half has none. It is right next to lake 4 with some beach access. There are both reservable and walk up sites here. The walk up process is a little strange. You get put on a waiting list and have to return to main office at 3. Then the start at beginning of list and people start choosing so get on waiting list early. This campground is usually full. There is room between campsites with a picnic table and fire pit.

    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.
