The property, purchased in 2016 from hoarders, has been gradually improved by the owners, who are proud of their progress. The front area includes their home, garden (guests can take produce), and a shop for their turf business. Chickens roam freely near the host house, so pets should be monitored. There are also calm honeybees on site. Hipcamp sites are located at the back, along with a pond for swimming and fishing. From May to September, guests can use beach toys, a paddle board, kayak, and paddle boat. Hammocks and a large playground are also available for guests to enjoy.

At the heart of the largest intact prairie grassland on the planet in the Nebraska Sandhills, Seven Pines Ranch hosts self-contained RV and tent camping along the Middle Loup River near Seneca. Great for kayaking (Two-Hour Kayak Adventures available), tubing, summer wading, fishing and abundant wildlife, the night skies are phenomenal.

Weekend Trip to Seven Pines Ranch River Retreat

Nebraska kept a piece of my heart after my visit. We stopped at the overlook about 20 miles west of here and I fell in love with the land! Stunning hilly grasslands. This spot is nestled in some beautiful landscape, the river is positively mesmerizing , the land was just clean/ pristine. Bob was welcoming and came out right away to make sure I knew where things were. We were pleasantly surprised by the train activity, it adds another layer of character to this spot. It was chilly as we stayed in mid November, I’d definitely like to plan a longer trip back there to spend some time kayaking the river.

Fantastic spot on the Middle Loup River! Bob is a wonderful host. Loved our first two days so much we added a third. Swam in the river, rode bikes to the prairie, and enjoyed warmth and a thunder storm. The Sandhills are peaceful and must be experienced! Outhouse is acceptable and clean. Bob supplied firewood and told stories about the prairie. We’ll be back!

Site 1 - Picture taken in May. You can see this site has direct access to the pond. Please do not block the road. For RV campers - please do not block the road. There Is additional parking steps away from the site. Thanks!

Great site! We were just there for an overnight stop, but were pleasantly surprised that it was even nicer than the photos/description made it out to be. We were right on the pond, but surrounded by trees that made the spot seem very private and comfortable. Princess was a wonderful host and everything we needed was provided or available. There was more to explore around the area we didn't know about because we didn't look into it as much as we normally would since we were just passing though, but we wouldn't hesitate to come back, stay here again, and explore more!

The host was probably the best I've seen. The trip went a little awry so we pulled in late and Bob was very accommodating, he even helped us get to Mullen in the morning. so we could end our trip early.

Great overnight stop at this campsite! Bob was very communicative and accommodating. The site itself was nice and spacious. There was an outhouse though we didn’t use it and bins for garbage. The river was beautiful and the road was pleasant to walk down with our dog in the morning. Would definitely stay here again!

This campsite was perfect for our family! The site itself was private with trees around it and quiet, with only the occasional train. Our kids loved swimming and playing in the pond and were also able to go fishing for the first time! Thanks for our great hosts for this stay!

This is a beautiful location right on the river, well-maintained and peaceful! The host came over after I had settled in to ask if I needed anything. I spent one night here on my way from Colorado to Minnesota, and would definitely recommend this place!
