Niobrara State Park – NE

Location and Map

  • July 2022
  • Hot

Facilities

The asphalt pads are fairly level and you are close to neighbors and no privacy.

RV area has a playground area, however, no trails to hike to the river(s). Trails are accessible via drive to upper section of park where cabins and the pool are located.

“Electric plus” service is just power only with community water. Plan on hauling water to fill your tank or if you are lucky, a long hose will do. 

The west side of the camping area is shaded and the center pads are more open to the sun.

Things that we didn’t like:

  • Burn ban -no fires
  • No ice at the office
  • Pool only open on weekends and limited hours, cash only
  • No TV service. Wireless is LTE only
  • Two shower areas with one that is pay per useā€¦ and the only one working!

Not worth the $30 rate

Laundry available and reasonably priced.

AshFall Fossil Beds

Plan a trip to see this State Historical Park a few miles from Niobrara State Park. The site is an active dig exposing animals that were buried in ash from a volcano in the southwest Idaho area 12 Million years ago!

We were able to watch and speak with students from the University of Nebraska summer programs as they worked to uncover these treasures.
