Weekend Trip to Cottonwood Creek Camp

A lovely spot for a one night stay during a long road trip! This site was like a breath of fresh air; easy to access, private, and with WONDERFUL amenities like bathroom and shower, laundry, and kitchen. The nature walk is very pleasant and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

This was a great spot to camp for the night! Devlin was very responsive, he upgraded my site at no extra cost, and he warned me when an unexpected storm was heading our way. The sites were spacious, and the porta potty was clean and had toilet paper stocked.

Weekend Trip to Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

This was a really nice space to crash on a roadtrip across the country. It’s beautiful with a nice lil trail that leads to the water (I think near tent A though actually? Devlin was very responsive and sweet to my questions and concerns while driving up. Straightforward to find too

Weekend Trip to BNR Acres Nebraska

Great place, very clean. Very quiet. People were very kind and if you needed anything they were right there.

Weekend Trip to Cottonwood Creek Camp

This was one of our favorite Hipcamp spots. It was in a very nice, quiet location. Although we never met Aaron and Megan, they were easy to reach through the app. What we loved most about this place was the use of their garage/office space which included a washer/dryer (for a fee), full bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Even though we have a fully contained RV, it was so nice to spread out and make use of these amenities.

Our second time there, another great stay. This place is so convenient for an overnight stop. The shower, kitchen area and room are wonderful to have. Highly recommend.

1 night at Cottonwood Creek Camp

Such a nice stop for tenting off the busy highway. Host was extremely friendly. Came out to greet me & my dog, Vinny. After traveling from Pennsylvania for 3 days, it was nice to find somewhere with a very clean bathroom & sitting area. Would highly recommend!

1 night at Cottonwood Creek Camp

We enjoyed our stay here. We had just come from western Nebraska and a night of severe thunderstorms and dust storms. Having a shower available was lovely and the ability to do a couple of loads of laundry was a plus. The neighborhood was quiet as advertised and we had a great night of sleep. The hosts were helpful and communicative. Highly recommend and I am sure if we are passing through the area we will stay again!

Site was quiet and private. Easy walk to camp. Definitely gonna stop on my way back through.

1 night at BNR Acres Nebraska

This was a perfect overnight for me. Slightly off the beaten track, and down a dusty gravel road. But so worth it. The site was level. The birds were chirping, and I was truly happy. I did have to button up my campervan when the raccoon showed up, but seeing wildlife is always a bonus. I’d recommend this Hipcamp site to anyone, be it for a single night, or longer.

Camping at Little Rivers Edge was a great experience. It was a clean campground with a little walking trail down to the river. Devlin was a kind host who made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Cottonwood Creek Camp

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 Omaha Campsite

Campsite was exactly what was expected! Loved being on the end of the campsite. Quiet and easy to find. Loved that the porta potty was right across the street and was super clean. Thank you for providing exactly what we needed! Would recommend and would be back! Campsite owner was very responsive as well!

Weekend Trip to The Fence-Post

Extremely nice hosts very accommodating plus its right off the interstate. Definitely recommended

Weekend Trip to Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Great little spot! So peaceful. We didn’t have a chance to explore any, but I would’ve loved to hike around a bit. Good amount of traffic on the gravel road all night but that’s literally our only “complaint”. I hadn’t realized the tent camping sites aren’t drive-up/in, Devlin was very kind & accommodating working with me on a better solution for us!

Weekend Trip to Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp

Very clean campground with a spacious, open layout. There's a nice path leading down to the water, making it easy to access. Great spot for a relaxed stay. Devlin was very friendly and helpful.

Omaha Campsite

2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Ashland, NE

Small family campground (35 feet or less in length) near Omaha Nebraska with interstate access (I-80, Exit 426) offering extended stay site availability. Rural setting offers peace and quiet at the end of the day and a campground tailoring to the traveling professional. We are mainly a long-term campground but keep one spot up front for our traveling friends to enjoy as you move across the country. Conveniently located just 4 miles off I-80 makes this a perfect stop for the night. Please make sure to arrive before dark or notify host of arrival time. Small campground and quiet community with minimal lighting can make for a challenging arrival if not careful.
