Immerse yourself in the charm of a 1907 Nebraska homestead, where history breathes life into every corner. As you step out of your camper, you're transported to a bygone era, greeted by a majestic early 20th-century barn that stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the families who cultivated this slice of heaven by the Great Cedar Creek. Relish in the boundless vistas and the pristine, star-filled skies, untouched by urban glare. Revel in the tranquil silence, broken only by nature's symphony and the comforting cluck of hens, signaling the arrival of your next batch of fresh eggs. Indulge in the complimentary bounty of our farm, or carry a piece of this heritage with you to cherish the flavors of a simpler time. You'll have access to a stable internet connection capable of 60 Mbps, ideal for streaming, browsing, and staying connected. The available 110v outlet is ready to accommodate your small appliances and gadgets. While our well water is mineral-rich and flavorful, please be mindful of consumption to prevent depleting the supply. Just 3 miles away, the Rockford State Recreation Area offers a boat ramp and is home to a charming lake. While it may not be the largest, it boasts a swimming beach and supports activities like jet skiing, tubing, and water skiing. An 11-mile journey will take you to the Homestead National Monument, an interesting site that I'll let you discover for yourself. With a population of 12,223, the town caters to all modern necessities. You'll find Walmart, McDonald's, a dollar store, various sit-down restaurants, boutiques, antique shops, and a bowling alley. The historical downtown area, nestled along the Blue River, provides a picturesque backdrop. For a relaxing day, consider a kayak rental to drift along this lazy river. And for those who enjoy cycling or running, extensive recreational trails built over old railroad tracks connect the surrounding villages and townships, offering a scenic route for your outdoor activities. The town is home to a brewery and a couple of cozy small-town taverns, offering an inviting atmosphere for an evening out in the heart of the heartland." Meet our two Australian Shepherds, the true stewards of this land, who will greet you with boundless energy and joy. They are the swift guardians of the homestead, their only charge being the human companion they share their home with. I can assure you that my male dogs have been responsibly managed to prevent any unwanted breeding or aggressive behavior towards other dogs. We request that our guests come prepared with their own sanitation solutions and take responsibility for the disposal of waste. For your convenience, Chautauqua Park in Beatrice, NE, which is only an 8-mile, 10-minute drive away, provides a dump station for such purposes.

We only spent one night as a stopover on our way to Colorado. We got their after the store hours but after a text someone was there quickly to personally escort us to our spot and make sure we knew where everything was and all was good. Very personable. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. We got there too late to check out the mini-golf, but it looked cute. Good free internet service. We would make a point of staying here again if we were in the area.

Weekend Trip to Cottonwood Creek Camp

If you are passing through Nebraska and need a comfortable and safe place to camp at a very fair price, please look no further than Aaron and Megan's little oasis on their grand property. Aaron and Megan's sit was so wonderful on our roadtrip east (California to Michigan) that we decided to stay on their beautiful property again on the drive back! In addition to the well-kept yard where we pitched out tent, we had a comfortable interior space where we could keep items refrigerated overnight, heat food and relax in an air-conditioned space before heading out into the humidity we were less accustomed to. Not to mention, the clean bathroom and bath/shower where we were able to wash the road off of us. Beyond this, Aaron designed a pathway through a wooded area on his property where my sweetheart and I wandered and enjoyed the lightning bugs once the sun went down. I wish I drove across the country more often just so I can stay here. Lincoln is wonderful too, by the way. We'd never been and we loved it.

Such a beautiful spot! The acreage had a walking path to connect you to gardens and new trees as well as old-growth Cottonwood, Elm and Ash trees. As I wandered though I even flushed up a covey of bobwhites! The bath house and kitchenette are fresh and spotless. ...just a few feet away from camping. I hope to come back.

Aaron and Megan’s land is so nice and feels so secluded! Their common area was so clean and nice to use. I chose to sleep in my car but the tent area is right next to a nature trail that is perfect for a quick walk with your pup. Aaron came down in the beginning of my stay to give me details about the property and my stay, he was very nice and made me feel very safe as a solo traveler! Highly recommend!

Cottonwood Creek Camp was a great place to stay for a weekend trip to Lincoln! It was the perfect location -- easy to access anywhere we needed to go in Lincoln, but in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Aaron greeted us right when we arrived and let us know they had extra camping supplies if we needed any. They also had towels and laundry available for a very small fee. It was very nice having a communal space with a kitchen, bathroom, and living room space with some comfy chairs. All the peace of camping with the comforts of home! We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Shepherd's Rest Goat Rescue

This was my first time using Hipcamp & Shepard’s Rest set the bar high! My husband and I enjoyed two evenings of private tent camping with our dogs. There were bathroom amenities and a fire lit. There were also paths cut out that we walked our dogs around a few times. It provided the rest we sorely needed.
