National forest 157mi from Dunning · 72 sites
Ahhh, the heartland. Wide open spaces of undeveloped land in which to spread your wings and find some breathing room. Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands is one of these places, comprised of two forests of ponderosa pine and three grassland areas. Come here to set up your temporary little house on the prairie and be a pioneer camper for a while! Wandering and exploring is unrestricted for non-motorized travel here, meaning freedom is yours for the taking! If you don’t want to just head into the abyss, try visiting the nation's oldest federal tree nursery (awww, baby trees!), or the largest extinct bison boneland in the world at the Hudson-Meng Bison Research Center. Or, head to Soldier Creek Wilderness Area for a little rewilding and backcountry exploration. Keep your eyes peeled for prairie dogs and wildflowers popping their cute little heads up, rock formations dotting the landscape, and magic around every turn. There’s a lot going on in that grass!

Sweet little spot on the river. All your needs are there. Power, water, flushing toilet and shower. The hosts are very welcoming and informative. We enjoyed star gazing at night. Don’t forget to stop at Ewoldt’s grocery store to buy some local meat!

My fiancé and I camped here in a tent for a week and had an amazing time. The middle loup river runs right in front of the camp sight, Bob’s got a nice little fishing setup there, and a bridge that makes getting in and out of the river easy. Had a blast kayaking for our first time, he gave us a little lesson beforehand. We ended up going on two more before we left. 5 minute walk up the road there’s an exotic wild life sanctuary called stable productions that offers tours, we got to hand feed water buffalo, camels, zebras. A really nice young couple runs it. The land itself is really the cool part though. A lot of wild life walked right through our camp.

This is a beautiful, peaceful spot to camp. There are trains that come through a lot but they didn’t bother me. Bob was so nice and helpful. He takes great care of the property. I was surprised how clean the outhouse was! I would stay here again. Just a warning that if you have T-Mobile then you will have very little to no service but that’s the nice part of camping.
