COE Lewis and Clark Lake Nebraska Tailwaters Campground

Army Corps of Engineers manages this drive-in campground within Lewis And Clark Recreation Area, a state park along the Missouri River near the South Dakota-Nebraska border. The site runs seasonally from mid-May through mid-October and includes electric hookups, drinking water, showers, toilets, a dump station, and picnic tables. Pets are allowed. Reservations are available, which matters during summer weekends when demand along this stretch of the river tends to run high. Chief White Crane Recreation Area sits less than a mile to the east, giving campers a nearby alternative if sites here are full.
