I am located to the West of Interstate 29 off exit 95 halfway between Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa. It is near where the Little Sioux River meets the Missouri River. There is river access with bank fishing and a boat ramp. The Loess Hills are nearby and the state forest. There are small lakes in the surrounding areas and Lewis and Clark parks with beautiful views.

I stayed at the Fence Post in October, after water was shut off for the winter. HOWEVER, when I made the reservation, the host was very quick to tell me this… so I was prepared! Kathy was great about giving instructions to get to the spot (make sure you don’t come in too close to the building!), and how to leave if backing up was a problem. The area behind me was very spacious so it was “easy” to back out and drive out! ( I say “easy,” because I’m new at travel trailering and backing up isn’t ever really easy for me - yet!!). I was very pleased with how level it was - from a picture I had seen, I didn’t expect that! Woo hoo! Lots of green space available to walk the dogs. This was a one-night stay - just passing through. I noted that others discussed traffic noise. It is true, it is not too far off the road BUT, I didn’t hear a thing (& I didn’t have tv or music on!!)! I am happy to recommend it to other hipcampers! Thanks Kathy… and I hope you have a great winter!

Weekend Trip to Hideaway Camper by the Cave 2.0
My boyfriend and I loved this spot. A quiet camper with a waterfall and horses close. Very relaxing if that’s what you’re looking for. John is extremely accommodating and quick to respond to needs. Definitely coming back!

I Was here for a quick overnight while driving through town. It’s right off the interstate and easy to find. The property was well cared for and bathroom was clean. Kathy was very responsive and the directions for parking and hooking up were clear.

Tons of mixed reviews, I went to find out for myself and took my drone. I agree with alot of it. A super cute campground with tons of potential and much needed improvement and maintenance is needed for landscaping and care of the facilities. Whatever photos show for the site is NOT what you will get . Those photos are from another campsite and NOT this one. There are NO sites which back up for lake views. It’s 100% misleading and should be removed. Esp from HipCamp (I am a professional photog and would be willing to come back on a barter to take site photos make this better for bookings.. Tons of seasonal campers. The pool It is closed and not useable. There is a cute lake and a beach for swimming instead. Ducks and geese enjoy it. There is fishing allowed, dogs are able to use the lake and There is a dog play fenced area. There is a small boat dock for a canoe, paddle boards etc. the hill has ruts and it’s where all of the full hooks up to. It requires leveling. I’d never camp on those hills.
Kids were driving their personal golf carts.
Firewood bundles are a good deal and are large 3 for 20$ . Interstate noise can be heard and it’s convenient right off from 80.
The store is available for small items and drinks. The staff have been amazing and great communication. This is not the worst campground we stayed at but not the best either. I’d suggest staying with electric and water only and stay off from the hills.
Those big hillsites are pull through and for bigger rigs

The Fence Post is conveniently located right off highway 29. It was a perfect spot to post up for the night on my journey across the US. There is a nice field right in front of the parking spot. A few reviews mention highway noise. You can hear it but it didn’t feel bothersome and with a fan on, I couldn’t hear it at all.
I would stay here again!

Kathy’s Fence Post was safe and easy to hook up. Very quiet and great for a stop along a trip. She also had great recommendations for additional stops on my trip. I highly recommend the fence post if you are looking to stay a night or two.

Quiet little spot along the highway. We did not find it loud, rather we had a very peaceful night. Kathy was responsive and let us know exactly what we needed to pull right in and settle for the evening. One of the campers came and checked on us as well. The only issue is the water is very high in iron, and even with our 3 stage filter we found it unsuitable for use. Otherwise, great spot for a layover!!
