Louisville State Recreation Area
Reviewed Sep. 1, 2018

Abundance of sites and wildlife

Louisville State Recreation Area is a nice large camping area offering over 200 sites with Electricity. There are also primitive tenting areas as well. The sites are mostly shaded and are spacious with fire rings and picnic tables. There are 2 larger lakes and 3 smaller ones. The park offers a swim beach, playground, fishing, and lots of hiking trails. There are trails that lead right along the banks of the Platte River.

I would recommend reservations as it seems a popular place on the weekends. We stayed next to one of the larger lakes and if you enjoy wildlife, you will see plenty. I could sit and watch the pond wildlife all day long. Only downside to this campground is the abundance of trains passing through. There is a train tracks right across the lake and it can be quite noisy. Otherwise this is a wonderful campground.
