The Best Camping Near North Platte, Nebraska

Great place to bring kids! We have driven through North Platte several times and had always wanted to camp here. We finally got the chance. There are several camping sites for $5 no hookups there is a sewage dump station. There are several animals in cages around including peacocks, lamas, donkeys, Buffalo, dear and elk. It’s fun to walk around and look at the animals. There are also several day use areas, and a couple of play grounds. Also in the Cody park area is a small amusement park perfect for kids 2ish-8ish. Our 4 kids in that age range all loved it. The rides were affordable and fun for the youngins. 

Quaint

Really pretty park on the North Platte River, right out side of town.  Spacious sites, large enough for our 40' motorhome with some trees for shade.  No hook-ups but there is a rest room which we didn't use.  May get busy on the weekends but we were there on a Monday and just a few sites were being used.  Quite the deal for $5/night.

Lovely park on the river but no hookups

I wouldn't use this campground as a destination, but it is a great stopover location on a roadtrip. We stopped here on the way to South Dakota. 

There is a zoo-ish feel with various animals in cages that you can feed around the lake. A large playground for the kids as well as a community pool and tennis courts. It looks like someone put a campground in a city park honestly. 

But the sites are large enough for a tent or RV and it is right on the Platte so it would be perfect for boaters on a stopover too. Only $5 per site makes a great cheap stop.

Great stopover on a journey

Stayed here a few times . Travel this road quite often. Natural stopover. Usually is open. I have a 26 ft RV and fits in nicely. Shaded sites. Next to River. Bathrooms available. 

River park

North end of N. Platte, right on River. Rate has increased to $10.00/night. Only negative is no hookups. You must be self contained. Grounds are immaculate. Relatively Quiet, some noise closer to street. Some sites will accommodate up to 50’, most are for 25’. Toilets, but no showers.


Beautiful, clean park setting

Very clean, $10 a night, enough space for animals to run around and not get hurt!!

Well Kept

Woke up this morning to our tents basically turning into makeshift floatation devices. Overnight, due to the rain, our spot essentially turned into a small pond. After gathering the courage to leave the tent and wade through ankle deep waters, there was a big elk (I believe) hanging out right across from us munching on the hay bales. Campground itself seemed well cared for and was nice. Lots of traffic through at night. Overall, not a terrible experience!

A bit wet

Basic facilities, but at $10 you can’t complain. Self registration no need to book. No shower but if the swimming pool in the park is open you can shower there. Not far from grocery stores and eateries. Great for a short and cheap stay
