3.8mi from Kearney · 1 site · RV · Riverdale, NE

We are located NW of Kearney in a rural setting. There are neighbors around us but not too close. Being this close to a town, there are many activities and places to go. A few miles to the West of us is Cottonmill Park which has a good sized lake and hiking trails. Within an hours drive there are fishing/boating and recreational lakes. The great Sandhills of Nebraska are just a little over an hour North to get to. Pioneer Village is South about an hour and the Hastings museum is about the same distance only a little East and South.

Garland and Lorna were so kind and accommodating. The site was clean, quiet and perfect for us and our two dogs. It was convenient to the interstate for our cross country trip, and although it was just one night we would definitely stay again!

It was easy to pull-in and park our trailer. The site provided power & water and we had 3-4 “bars” of 5G using T-Mobile. Using the directions provided, we had no problem finding the location. The host was very responsive. We plan to return, next time we’re in the area!

Gorgeous spot! Hosts were so kind and helpful. We were facing some nasty weather and they made sure to let us know where to seek shelter with them if needed. It wasn't needed, but just the fact they cared enough to offer was so nice. Finding the place was easy, and the space is level and quiet.

It was great listening to the birds and critters. It was on the side of the pole barn next to the power and water. It was quiet once the sun set and great sleeping there. Garland greeted me and explained to surroundings. It was a very pleasant stay all around.
