After driving about a mile and a half through town: it's an easy in and out of the fairground campground and any size rig can easily fit here.The camping area is a large, level gravel parking lot that is immediately on your right as you come through the Fairground's gate. There are eight light poles, spaced well apart in the parking lot and electrical hookups are mounted on the poles. Most of the poles had multiple 50 amp receptacles in addition to multiple 20 amp receptacles. There were a few 30 amp receptacles. There are also two sites with 30 amp power and a water hookup on the grass under some big trees. There is a free dump station. Power was good and it was very quiet here.There are no assigned spaces here; it's just an enormous, well groomed gravel lot that can easily hold 50 rigs. You just park wherever you want and then go into the Fair Office and pay. Dry camping is free and there is no stay limit. This campground is a good base for exploring Kearney's many interesting attractions including the Great Platte River Road Archway Museum, The Trails and Rails Museum, the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Education Center, and Fort Kearney. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a big mostly level gravel parking lot with electric hookups attached to the light poles. They are mostly 20 amp, but we did find a 30 amp against the tree line. There are water fauscets for filling your tanks and also a dump station. There are no restrooms or showers. It was adequate for our one night stay. See their web site for telephone number and directions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is abandoned!! We pulled in here late in the day looking for a place for the night. It is obvious it has been closed for quite a while. Weeds were two feet high and dry and dirty. No one in the office. Don't bother stopping here. There are no other RV parks in this town, at least none that we could find and the locals didn't know of any, either. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This rating is based on an overnight stay while traveling across the country, not for a long term vacation stay. We stopped in the Kearney area for one night while traveling to the Grand Tetons. We didn't even know this place existed and had planned on staying in the parking lot of the nearby Cabelas, but it was quite warm out and we wanted electricity for the night to run the AC. It's not much to look at, but the bathrooms were clean. There is a go-cart track nearby, but it didn't keep us awake or seem very busy and this was on a Friday night. This place was great for an over night stay while traveling I-80, with lot's of restaurants and a Wal Mart down the road, you could pick up necessary items for travel. If I had something to do in the area for a few days I would have no problem staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stay here pretty often and have always enjoyed our stay. Kids love the fishing and we like the area with the nice trees and ponds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites a bit tight for a state park, but pleasant area. Can be buggy, due to the multiple small lakes in the park. Interior roads can be a bit tight for larger rigs, especially when the campground is full, as cars/tow vehicles often park partly in the roadways. Reasonably clean, considering heavy use over the weekend. Rangers friendly & helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lots of shade. Small "lakes", more like ponds, but added to the experience. Nice stop over not too far off of the interstate. Sure beats a more expensive park if you just need somewhere to put down for the night. Very safe and patrolled. Great walking and biking area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We self-registered and selected our site, being the only campers in the park. Electrical at sites but no water or sewer connections. Several very small lakes, actually more like natural pot-holes. Did not use showers which are in a modern building. Toilets, however,are pit toilets. Paved interior roads and level graveled parking pads. Space between many pads allow for privacy. Beautiful area to camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We overnighted here without reservations. It is a beautiful, quiet, simple park. Lots of trees and several small ponds. Absolutly the cleanest bathrooms/showers ever. They are pay showers, but I think you get 5 minutes for $1.00. Very peaceful. The $18 fee included a $3 Nebraska vehicle tag. Nice park hosts. Great spot for our road weary family.
