Stanton Lake Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing, disc golf, and wildlife watching all come together at this city-managed campground on the northwest edge of Falls City, Nebraska. The small lake at the park's center draws anglers and walkers alike, with a paved path circling the water and benches positioned at intervals along the shoreline. No boats or swimming are permitted on the lake, but the walking trail, an arboretum, and a fenced sand volleyball court round out the activity options on site.

Sites are paved, level, and close together, with full hookups available for RVs up to 50 feet. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Tent campers and bikepackers also find the setup workable, with showers and electricity access at low cost. Two fenced dog runs sit within the park, and a playground is positioned away from the camping area. Reviewers note that non-camping vehicles pass through the campground frequently, which contributes to daytime noise. A freight rail line runs behind the lake, with trains audible from the sites every few hours after dark. Shannon G. notes that "you can hear the bull frogs, geese, and coyotes when the sun goes down."

The campground stays open year-round and accepts reservations, with pets allowed. Campers traveling through the southeast Nebraska corridor who want access to more natural surroundings can look to Indian Cave State Park Campground about 8 miles to the northeast, or Verdon Lake State Rec Area roughly 8 miles to the northwest. Stanton Lake Park works best as an overnight stop or short-stay base for those passing through the region.

Looks like a great city park

Let me start out by saying this is an absolute beautiful city park. They have a little fishing lake, disc golf, volleyball courts, a playground, and a dog park. They do offer camping for rvs as well as tents and at a very affordable price. If you are like me and feel kind of funny about camping in the middle of a city. This place may still get you out of a pinch while traveling, and yes they have showers and very clean bathrooms. Don't knock it til you try it.

Beautiful lake with walking path

This campground is mainly for Rvs. The campsites are full hook ups which are $20. The sites each have a picnic table, and fire pit. They are on pavement, level, and are kind of close together. There is a nice playground away from the sites along with a fenced in sand volleyball court. The park also has a frisbee golf course. The lake/pond has a paved sidewalk surrounding it with plenty of benches scattered to just rest or enjoy the lake and it's wildlife. You can hear the bull frogs, geese, and coyotes when the sun goes down. There is a train track behind the lake, and it seems to have a train every few hours that you can hear from your site. A couple of things that I noticed was the large number of vehicles coming through the campgrounds that were not staying hear. It was very busy and noisy. They also have 2 large fenced in dog runs for the pups.
