The site was a large level pull through lot with beautiful scenery and a 20 amp hookup. Bob was very cordial and helpful. The site is off the beaten path but you will enjoy it.

This is a beautiful location right on the river, well-maintained and peaceful! The host came over after I had settled in to ask if I needed anything. I spent one night here on my way from Colorado to Minnesota, and would definitely recommend this place!

It's a beautiful spot, great host, but the railroad is just across the river and has a nearby crossing. Major line, so at least 4 loud wake ups in the night. Otherwise, this is a wonderful site. Not sure this could be improved,it just is what it is.

Bob was a great host and it was a pleasure hearing his knowledge about the geology of the middle loup river. He has a great place on the in one of the most beautiful parts of Nebraska. The only real downside is the trains.

It was very beautiful, close to trains so those were a little loud at night cause of their horns, but besides that it was incredible. Outhouse was clean, access to the water was fabulous stars were untouched. Very thankful. And Bob shared his homegrown tomatoes with us

A perfect space for camping and enjoying the Middle Loup river! Easy to find. No traffic. Beautiful Sandhills for a long or short bike ride. Peaceful kayaking. Both the nearby towns of Thedford and Mullen have good eating choices if you want to head to town for a meal. Bob the rancher is so accommodating and friendly! His bulls come in for a drink and to say hello to him. The deer also come and graze in the yard. It’s all so lovely!!
You won’t want to pack up and leave!! One side note….pack ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The train whistles are constant. Ha ha. Luckily I can sleep through anything!

We had an amazing time here. Bob’s land is so beautiful and well kept. We enjoyed a swim in the river, had a campfire, and saw many stars. We also appreciated the water access, outhouse, and trash. Bob even gave us some tomatoes and an eggplant from his garden! I would love to come back here if I ever get the chance.

Bob's place was so perfect for our trip.
Kayaking down the Middle Loup was the highlight of it all. We also enjoyed stargazing and the campfire. It was blissfully quiet besides the trains.
The Sandhills are gorgeous. Hwy 2 was a nice road trip.
Thanks Bob - we look forward to returning.

Very nice private campsite (we had a tent), very nice setting by the mesmerizing river. There was a good toilet/outhouse without having to leave the campsite. Good firepit (and firewood), good picnic table, good trees. There are trains going by at night that sound their horn for the nearby railroad crossing.

Extremely nice camping area, with firewood supplied. A cool foot bridge to explore with a wonderful creek to take a dip in. My family loved it. Bob the owner came out to great us and tell us where to go, and couldn’t have been any more nice, or helpful. He even went out of his way to help me air up my tire when my 12V inflator broke and drained my tire instead. We had a nice conversation, and I’d highly recommend staying here. There is a train that goes by the property pretty regularly and is loud, but the beautiful location, wonderful cool swimming stream, beautiful drive on 2 HWY in and out, and awesome host absolutely make up for any shortcoming from the train noise.

Camper@ 7 Pines Ranch River Retreat
Perfect -and- Private camping spot on the river. Our family spent 3 nights at the ranch and we have no complaints!
1. Bob only allows 1 family on the property at a time if you rent the tent space or pop-up = Exactly what we wanted
2. The pop-up is great, no issues and it comes with Power + Gas
3. The outhouse is the nicest, cleanest outhouse ever
4. Kids spent 8hrs a day in the river on the dock and bridge which is about 75ft from the pop-up
5. Bob and his wife were WONDERFUL people, they checked in on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and even brought us a bag of ice and homemade banana nut bread
6. Exotic Animal Park is literally a 5 minute walk from the pop-up! Stable Productions animal park was amazing, a 2 hour tour for fifty dollars
We will absolutely return next year!

This camp is in the middle of beautiful, isolated, rolling hills cattle country. It's a gorgeous place to truly get away from city life. The reason we have mixed feelings is because of the site's proximity to very busy train tracks. The proximity of the train tracks made us nervous about having dogs off leash and also made it hard to sleep with the train horn blaring 4x each time one passes through. Although we didn't get in the river, we enjoyed watching the sunset on the river. Our host Bob couldn't have been more welcoming... he showed us around when we arrived and he even brought us cookies baked by his wife Connie!

My husband and I were passing through the area, so only needed a place to camp for one night. We were so happy to have found Bob's place! He was not present when we arrived, but the instructions to the campsite were clear and we were setup by the time he greeted us. Bob is a very friendly and thoughtful host. We appreciated learning about his cattle and the area from him. We also loved the peace of the area, with the exception of the trains, though that did not bother us. (The trains did not run late at night). We would happily stay at Bob's campsite again!

We came in after dark and found our campsite easily as Bobs directions are very clear. The road to the site was smooth for our 2wd rental minivan and the site was clean and level for our tent. The outhouse is close which is a big plus if you are traveling with kids and dogs can be off leash if you’re traveling with a pup! During the night we heard trains passing by. There is a beautiful river running past the site and we saw turkeys and geese and rabbits. If we are ever passing back through we would definitely stay again, thank you!!

I was on a road trip with my spouse and children when we discovered Bob's land at the last minute. We arrived after sunset, were not in the mood for camping, and the kids were exhausted. Bob's Popup was not set up because the season had not yet begun, and he is welcome to stay at the campsite. But when he met us, he changed his mind and instantly set up the Popup. In all of my travels, I've never encountered a more kind, friendly, and compassionate host. The area has a river in front of us, and there is a lot of wildlife.

Great spot, a long drive, but such a beautiful sunset! The night sky is just amazing as well!
Saw a heard of white tail deer an heard the coyotes howling in the distance. The hosts were great, there is a very cute clean outhouse and a well pump for water. Electricity was available as well.

Bob's land was pristine! Snuggled between a gigantic sandhill and the Loup, it's a place you would expect to have to fend off a menagerie of bugs and a menagerie there was. But the property was so well cared for that I didn't have to fend off a single bug. It was mind bogglingly amazing! The vista was beautiful and Courtney's hard working goats, who greeted us enthusiastically, were a delightful addition! A wonderful overnight.

Bob's HipCamp site was a great overnight spot for my sister, my dog, and I to stay at during our road trip passing thru the state. Beautiful property! The river and domestic critters (goats, donkey, etc.) in the area made for an at-home feel of relaxation and peace. The space provided for a nice big area for my dog to run around off-leash. For those who are light sleepers, note there is a train track system nearby, but it wasn't an issue for us. I would definitely recommend this site to folks passing thru!

Great Spot and we loved hopping in the river! Very low key area, easy to find and sleep was comfortable. Trains to go by, but less at night and it added to the country vibe!

We loved Bob's place! It was easy to find and Bob and his neighbors are super friendly. Bob took us up river to put our kayaks in and had a great time on the river. And his neighbor even stopped by and offered us some cucumbers and zucchini fresh out of their garden! Great small community but plenty of quiet and privacy too!
