East City Park

Located just off US Highway #20 at the east edge of Ainsworth, it has 2 separate areas for camping: one to the north side and one to the southeast side. Football field, track, baseball diamond, horsehoe pits, tennis court, swimming pool. Home of the National Country Music Contest in early August and a National Horseshoe Contest. The sites are pretty much scattered on the southeast part. Electric outlets available, park on the grass wherever you like as long as you have a long electric cord. To the north it is more uniform with back-in sites on gravel with spaced electric boxes; again, a long electric cord is desirable. Next to the highway so there is some noise; quieter and shadier to the southeast. Lots of sightseeing (Long Pine, Pine Creek, Plum Creek, Niobrara River opportunities, historical sites, i.e. Sellors Memorial Cabin in the Courthouse Park (at the Junction of Highway 20 and Main Street)). The Coleman House and other buildings owned by the Brown County Historical Society. Nice senior center, Elks, American Legion, friendly town, lots of amenities close to camp.
