3 nights at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Beautiful stay! If you want gorgeous sunsets this is the place to go! Devlin was flexible and easy to get a hold of! On hipcamp the bathroom is always something I'm curious about 🤣 so here's the info- it was one porta potty for the whole place. There are quite a few sites and a good portion of them were full (even on a week night) so you ended up sharing with a lot of people. There was no toilet paper, but I never messaged Devlin to let him know so that was not his fault, sharing with that many people means there's a high chance of no to so being your own. You should also bring your own hand sanitizer as there isn't any. They had some pretty walking trails down to a river. The river seemed low so it wasn't much to look at. The stay was near a gravel road and large trucks seem to barrel down the road so if it's dry you get a whole wave of dust blowing off the road so the best campsites are going to be the ones further back off the road. I can't remember if the map has the road on it but we were in site 6 and it was on the backside away from the road for reference. All in all a good stay, nothing crazy exciting but the lots were level and mowed and the host was clear and responsive, really what more can you ask for?

This is my 2nd Hipcamp experience and once again very favorable. Devlin provided quick response to my few questions. We would not have found this jewel without being on Hipcamp. Spaces are spaced a bit more than most RV Parks. Had I read the descriptive I would have realized there was water for RV's at the entry, good electrical connection. Love the location, dark sky and quiet. If you enjoy gravel bicycling, plan to spend a few days in this area.

The campground felt quiet and private. The 5 mph speed limit kept things safe, and quiet hours at 10 p.m. meant we could actually hear the crickets at night. My dog was welcome and had plenty of room to explore on leash, which we both appreciated. Overall, this is a great spot for anyone who wants a low-key, well-kept place to pitch a tent and relax. I’d happily come back for another night under the stars.

4 nights at Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

The Little River's Edge was perfect for our last hoorah for the summer. We tent camped in area A. I appreciate the fact that it's a good distance away from the rv lot so that you get a more primitive feel. The lawn where the tent sites are is well manicured and we didn't run into any burrs, stickers or goat heads. There's a lovely trail to the river, where if you look hard enough you will find coral fossil, chert, Jasper, and quartz. We listened to coyotes chat at night, saw a gorgeous blue heron in the little river canyon and even stumbled upon an impressive beaver dam. The location is very convenient. We visited Auburn, Brownville, Nebraska City, Weeping Waters, Plattsmouth, Omaha, Hamburg Iowa and Rock Port Missouri while staying at Little River's Edge. Devlin was a great host. Communication was quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this camp site, and I would return as well!

This was the perfect place to camp during our cross country trip. It’s conveniently located right near the high way but still very quiet. Devlin was very attentive and even upgraded our campsite!

Great little campground for relaxation or just passing through. Wide open spaces, path to rivers edge, spacious sites, fire rings, nice picnic tables, community fire pit, and white rock. Water fill available in 2 locations, and a porta potty. No dump station. The host was friendly and stopped by to chat. Firewood also available upon request at standard pricing.
