Camping is available year-round in Nebraska. Nebraska’s state parks, state historical parks and state recreation areas offer five levels of camping: full hookup, electric plus, electric, basic, and primitive. Rates are consistent across all parks throughout the state, with the exception of Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area and Smith Falls State Park.
We know a campfire is an important part of camping — for the s’mores alone. But, firewood transported from other locations can harbor the Emerald Ash Borer or other invasive pests that are harmful to Nebraska woodlands and landscapes.
Help prevent the spread of invasive pests by acquiring firewood within 50 miles of your destination and burning all of it rather than taking it to another location.
Nebraska has nearly 75 parks that offer camping opportunities and a variety of amenities. Find the best place to pursue your next adventure by using our Explore Parks interactive map.
