Tent

1 night at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

The site was clean and pretty. Water hose was available, and port a potty was clean. Would be nice to have a shaded area to get out of the sun. Otherwise great stay!

1 night at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Nice spot. So peaceful and obviously well maintained. Responsive host, but no issues to report!

1 night at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

This was the perfect over-night stop for me. The check-in was easy. The lots were clean and ready to go. The hosts were wonderful and actively involved in the property. A visit to the river relaxed me before a star-gaze after sundown. I'll stay again.

1 night at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Cute and quaint area. Communication from the host was prompt and considerate. My husband and I enjoyed our brief, but restful stay.

Weekend Trip to The ALOHA SPIRIT Camper

The aloha camper was so fun!!!!! I seriously recommend it to anyone trying to get away, spend some time alone, or just change things up. All the neighbors were so kind, everything was so convenient, and it was so cheap. I want to go back every year! Thank you Jen :)

Weekend Trip to Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

Great level lot with beautiful view of field. Would recommend and hope to return on future trips. Great communication and directions.

1 night at Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

Nice place, green and quiet for the most part, though there are nearby houses and you can hear their dogs and roosters. Fireflies put on quite a show once the sun goes down. There is a porta-potty on site and a nearby trail. Corey also reached out the day we were coming in, and was very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

1 night at Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

Quiet peaceful site on a working farm with goats, right across from a very nice public trail leading to the river. Full hookup pull thru. Corey is very friendly and helpful, responding to text questions promptly and assisting us with getting into the site. He gave us two bars of homemade goat soap! Thanks, Corey!

1 night at Shepherd's Rest Goat Rescue

This is a wonderful , peaceful , private place to tent camp with many birds. Jen is a wonderful host and I appreciate her mission to rescue goats. I hope I can come back here !

1 night at Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

Clear directions host greeted me right away. I camped with a tent for one night, grass area was too high, it rained a lot and I couldn’t keep my feet dried. Train goes by nearby and sounds the horn quite often. Bathroom is an outhouse and it appeared to be very full, so was the garbage . I can’t recommend this place. Sorry

1 night at Camp A Way

This was the cutest little cabin, perfect for our family of 4! The cabin was clean and we had everything we needed! The staff at Camp a Way were so friendly and helpful as well! Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Magill Farms

Great host. Very responsive. Grass path into a wooded site off a gravel road. Really private. Too hot for a fire, but ring was there. Old outhouse too. Check out Seward too. Great little town. Bottle Rocket Brewing has some delicious beer. highly recommend.

1 night at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Had a great visit with all details (with ample flexibility) clearly communicated and proposed…Devlin is a gracious host! Beautiful and well manicured camping options, including a little river full of peace, quiet and nature…with soft shelled turtle burying eggs and bobwhite quail calling during sunrise! A definite return visit is in order! Happy Trails ✌️

Weekend Trip to Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Had a nice stay, spot was level and spacious and peaceful. Would stay again. The only thing my husband didn’t care for was the gravel road to get there. But that is just him. I myself didn’t care. I would stay again if we go through this area again.

Weekend Trip to Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

This spot was great! Corey was very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

1 night at City Explorers' Stampede

Very cool little oasis that Tasha offers! We are minimalists and this was the perfect place for us. Pitched a tent and had grass to put our bare feet on. She also offers other great accommodations! Can’t wait to stay for the second night!!! Thanks Tasha !!!

Devlin is an incredible host! He is constantly adding amenities to his beautiful property! This place is SUPER quiet and i’m a repeat customer for that reason. Awesome place to decompress while on long road trips!

Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Ashland, NE

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.

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 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.
