John D. Sims Memorial Park

Baseball field camping meets small-town convenience at John D. Sims Memorial Park, where municipal management keeps costs reasonable at $15-$28 per night. The facility provides electric and water hookups for RVs alongside basic tent camping options. Clean restrooms and hot showers serve campers, though reviewers note adjusting the water temperature away from the hottest setting works best.

Frequent train activity creates consistent noise throughout stays, something campers report adapting to over time. The park typically sees light use, with visitors often finding themselves the only ones camping on weeknights. For those exploring central Nebraska's camping options, places to camp around Loup City offer additional overnight choices within the region.

Perfect place with necessary amenities

We love that lots of small towns in this area offer camping at ball fields, etc. There are bathrooms and showers! The hot water in ladies does work, just adjust NOT to hottest setting. Only ones camping. Trains were close and often, but you somehow get used to it.
