Plum Creek Canyon Ranch

4. Plum Creek Canyon Ranch

2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Johnstown, NE
Pack your hiking shoes and plan an adventure. You'll find 500 acres of exquisite, wooded canyons. The lush mix of oak, pine, and cedar on steep terrain is spectacular! One of the most pristine, spring-fed streams in the world—Plum Creek—runs the length of the ranch. Small springs feed into the creek as it ripples through white, sandy banks. Expect to see wildlife: deer, turkey (Merriam’s and Rio Grande), sharp-tailed grouse, bald eagles, blue herons, prairie chickens, and a host of waterfowl, songbirds, and small animals call this home. Sleep well—the night air is rich with pine and cedar. Wild turkeys roost in the trees. Overhead, the Milky Way is a spectacular canopy. The Sandhills is one of the few areas east of the Rocky Mountains free of city lights. Try your hand at fly fishing, hunt for fossils, and listen to the murmur of pine trees that greeted the first pioneers. Pick a site for a family photo; we'll help you arrange a local photographer. Above the canyon, the ranch includes nearly 1,000 acres of native grassland with species unique to the Nebraska Sandhills. The world-renowned Sandhills are the largest sand dune formation in the Western Hemisphere. The area was formed during the Pleistocene Epoch through a rare but perfect combination of water, wind, and sediment. Retreating waters deposited fine quartz sand, and the wind sculpted it into magnificent dunes. The fragile soil is now held in place by vegetation distinctive to the Sandhills. Secluded RV, tent, and cabin sites are located near the canyon edge; all have creek access, beautiful views, native grass, and ample parking. Entry is accessible for larger RVs—the ranch is less than one mile off U.S. Highway 20. Due to the 2025 Plum Creek Fire, we are not currently accepting reservations.

DO NOT DRIVE THRU CAMPGROUND My ONE and ONLY Hipcamp site is locate right at the entrance of this small property. All campers must be 35 feet or less in length and given the small size of the campground it's easiest if you arrive before dark. The entrance is on a curve so make sure you enter from the left hand side of the road and don't be afraid to roll thru a little grass to make sure you have plenty of room. Make a hard hairpin turn to the right and your campsite is straight ahead and like everything here, a pull-thru site. (Please see HIPCAMP main photo) This is a long-term campground but I keep this one spot up front for our traveling friends to enjoy as you move across the country as options can be limited. Enjoy your stay and if you're ever unsure about anything just give me a ring. Please make sure to arrive before dark. Small campground and quiet community with minimal lighting can make for a challenging and sometimes disorienting arrival if not careful.

*** 2025 Season Update *** As they have put new rock on the gravel road near the property, we are potentially looking at closing our season earlier than planned. This has covered up our previous dust control, which could make it more dusty than anticipated due to higher traffic for an early harvest this year. If you are still needing a place to stay but it looks to be unavailable up to November 1st, just send me a message and we can review options. I want to ensure a positive experience. - Devlin ****50/30/20 amp hookups at each RV Site. *** City life from Lincoln and Omaha can feel a little tight sometimes. Little Rivers Edge is a wonderful spacious campground for the perfect weekend getaway being only 30 minutes down the road. Just a mile outside of Syracuse gives you all the convenience of the town without any of the crowded feeling. So...light a fire and play in the river! We hope you enjoy our little piece of heaven and meet some friends along the way.
