Rock Creek Station State Rec Area

4 Reviews

Rock Creek Station State Rec Area, near Diller, Nebraska, is a unique campground that offers a blend of history and outdoor fun. With only two designated tent sites, it’s a cozy spot for those looking to connect with nature while being close to the adjacent historical park, which showcases the rich heritage of the Pony Express and Oregon Trail.

The campground is equipped with essential amenities like drinking water, electric hookups, and clean restrooms, making it a comfortable place to stay. Campers have noted the cleanliness of the sites and the friendly camp hosts who are always ready to help. One visitor mentioned, “Site #20 has the best cell service,” which can be a nice perk for those needing to stay connected.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the area is perfect for hiking and exploring the historical park. The paved back-in sites provide easy access for RVs, and many campers appreciate the shade during the hotter parts of the day. While some have pointed out the lack of water after November, the well pump is available for filling up.

If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with a touch of history, Rock Creek Station is worth checking out. Just be prepared for a bit of a drive to find it, as some visitors have had trouble locating the campground.

Pretty Good!

Broadcasting this now because I was not aware when I showed up: there are only two designated tent sites in this entire campground. However, both these sites are clean, beautiful, and located near the trail that takes you to the (honestly very well-presented) adjacent historical park. Out of the two Nebraska state recreation areas I stayed at on my trip through the state, this one is definitely my favorite. I would give it 3.5 stars, but the coin-operated showers knock it down to a 3.

Clean, quiet campground

Favorite place to stay for early season bow hunting. Camp hosts are always kind and do a great job. Site #20 has best cell service.

No water after Nov. 1 and have to fill from well pump.

Nice quiet campground

Quiet camp area with paved back in sites for RV/Campers. Our site had a standard 30A electric hookup, with 20A duplex outlet as well. Nice shade in the early and later part of the day for most sites.

Equestrian camping loop is separate from the main camp area and appeared a bit more rustic.

Interpretive center related to the Pony Express and Oregon Trail in the adjacent Historical Park. Paved road access to the park from both the north and the south from US HWY 136 or NE HWY 8.

Thumbs down...

We looked and looked for this place and never found any campground or signs for it. The roads were all narrow dirt and bumpy. Found unlit dirt parking in the wildlife management area where we able to turn around and go back. Ended up spending the night in the square of Geneva, NE.
