Silver Creek City Park

Where Highway 14 cuts through central Nebraska, Silver Creek City Park provides free camping with electric hookups on four sites arranged around a small lake. Campers enter through gates leading to a circular drive, with the sites positioned near a picnic shelter but requiring some searching to locate the electrical pedestals. The municipal park operates on a suggested $15 donation system using an envelope box, though no payment is required.

Sites may not be perfectly level, and the layout can challenge first-time visitors navigating the lakeside loop. The park allows pets and provides basic amenities including drinking water and trash service. For campers exploring the broader region, campgrounds around Stromsburg offer additional options about 14 miles south.

Fairly nice

 There’s a suggested donation of $15 and a box with envelopes to put it in it’s electric only the sides are not necessarily terribly level there’s only four sides is difficult to find when you come in. You have to actually go through the gates that go to the little circle drive around the lake and to your left by the picnic shelter he will see for pedestals are kind of hard to find.
