"Pease Creek Recreation Area is off the Missouri River out in the middle of nowhere but if you are a water/fishing person it is worth the drive for a quiet, laid back vacation."
"I normally do not go to campsites (that is put in for context) but was passing through on a business trip and needed a place with electric hookups. After a Harvest Host disaster I found this."
". $55/night gives you AC, electricity, and a bed (2 twins, 1 full). Great view from the cabin deck. Verizon works good. Close to the swimming beach and vault toilet."
$35 - $40 / night
"One individual restroom and shower. Full hookups at sites. Open field with campsites next to each other. Some road noise since the interstate is close by."
"The campground is next to the highway, it is convienient but not at all scenic. Facilities were clean and comfortable. WiFi was good. There are washing machines and dryers."
"Nice spots, beautiful lake and beach, not crowded at all. Only negative point is it’s close to the street. But since there is not a lot of traffic it was pretty quiet."
"Don’t we all dream of that perfect camp with no one else around? Give this place more credit. I do see a reserve for the 4th Of July weekend and that is to be expected."
"RV sites have full hookups. There is a small motel on site, along with an office with some supplies available. Shower rooms were large and clean. Each site has fire ring and picnic table."

"Playground for kids. Clean restrooms, was quiet at night. We stayed here one night in our small RV on June 3rd, 2015."
"Water hookups throughout but we were farther than 50 feet and had to fill up when we arrived. Gravel mound on lots of sites so it was a bit tricky to back in and level but we managed."
$40 / night
"Sites are level gravel pads. 15 - 30 - 50 amp service. Water, sewer, and WIFI at each site. There are 71 sites to choose from. This campground can be found on Facebook."
GuideNice camping for extended stay of 14 days. Different length back in sites with picnic table and fire ring with grill. Camp host available. Handicap pad sites. I would have given a five star except for the cost!
We think $30/day for just electric is expensive but we’d been boon docking so we sprung for the expense for 3 nights. Showers are extra😳. Laundry available.
Little town of Niobrara, just a few miles away has limited shopping but a nice little grocery store, hardware store, museum, and fuel.
Confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara Rivers.
Nebraska State Parks have walk up and reservable spaces. We usually risk it and easily found a walk up on a Monday afternoon after the weekend crowd left.
We stayed in the RV campground but took a bike ride around the rest of the park. We stopped at the park office and chatted with assistant superintendent Nate. Very nice guy with lots of good info.. He told us about a nice loop we could continue our bike ride and we went around the picnic and tent area. Some incredible exclusive sites and great views of the Niobrara.

The land surrounding the recreation area was the ancestral homeland to numerous Plains Indians. Mainly short sites in this cozy campground with a new bath/shower house. Campground is well maintained.

This area provides all types of water sports, winter sports, wildlife viewing, fishing and hunting.
Firewood Alert: Please purchase firewood in the local area. Do not transport from another state, if you do please burn immediately due to the Emerald Ash Borer.
CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY Another issue that has become an increasing problem is Aquatic Invasive Species .(AIS) which is spreading in the United States. There are different types of AIS and they are being spread by several methods. Boaters, of all types, help spread or help stop the spread by taking care of their watercraft. Before leaving a boat launch practice the CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY technique. Many states require a AIS permit before you place watercraft in the water.

TravelerSeems like many long term stays. Biggest issue was there was no place to put your trash. It’s a bit far from town. Not walking distance but nice and quiet.
LegendThis is a relatively new campground. Trees are young but hold promise. Lawn care is immaculate. Sites are level gravel pads. 15 - 30 - 50 amp service. Water, sewer, and WIFI at each site. There are 71 sites to choose from. This campground can be found on Facebook. There are no showers or bathroom facilities at the campground. Payment can be made at the bar just north of the campground sites. Also, volleyball, pizza, and chips at full bar can be enjoyed. There are no fire pits, but you may use your own fire pit if it is contained.
GuideAll around beautiful place. We had a great camping experience this summer. The grounds were clean, beautiful scenery, pet friendly and fun hiking trails! There's a lot of really cool cabins to choose from and the tent camping areas are in great locations scattered around the park. Definitely for the 3 hour drive up there.
TravelerNeeded a quick night's stay to break up a long drive, and this was the perfect spot. We ended up being the only campers overnight. Spots are mostly level -we didn't even have to unhook from our hitch(we have a 15' travel trailer on a 2" ball), all we did was throw stabilizers down. Access to city park amenities: kids' playground, pool(which was not open while we were here unfortunately), volleyball court & tennis courts. There is also firewood available as well as fire rings. On-site bathrooms were adequate, and showers were usable but not in the best condition. Overall great stay, especially for the $20 a night.
TravelerSmall campground but we love it here. The boat ramp is really close to the sites and most sites are on the water or really close to the water. The bathrooms are clean. Showers have private doors. Nice playground and beach area. Shoreline is great for fishing. The only downfall is that our phones don’t get service there. (Verizon & AT&T) We go up the hill to Platte Creek Store for phone service, bait, wood and bar/restaurant. The river & the lakes around the campground couldn’t be any better.
TravelerThis is a pretty park, probably primarily used by families that are boating or fishing the Missouri River. Playground for kids. Clean restrooms, was quiet at night. We stayed here one night in our small RV on June 3rd, 2015. We could not find any camping available along Interstate 90 while heading west, and got lucky with a cancelation at this park. We had to travel 20 miles out of our way to camp!! Lesson learned to plan ahead while traveling through South Dakota.
TravelerWe stayed here while visiting family in the area. For $20 a night it’s well worth the money. Site was level, we had 50amp, and there is a concrete pad with a picnic table. There is a place to dump.
