Riverside Park Campground

Here's a plan for a great day in southeastern Nebraska: visit the Homestead National Monument (https://www.nps.gov/home/index.htm) and learn the story of how the federal government successfully created legislation that turned over 10% of the nation's land in 160-acre plots for free to brave, resourceful folks from around the world - if they built a house on it, planted crops, and stayed for five years - all so as to fulfill the mandate of Manifest Destiny.

Then drive just a few miles to this campground, which is a real gem. Set in a city park, there is a playground and other park features, but what you care most about are the 8 paved pads, each with 50/30/20 amp service, water and sewer, all for just $18/night. The pads are well-separated, and the ATT signal was awesome.

There was only one other person here when we camped. There is a self-pay station, but no camp host today, and this is June, which is tourist season, so presumably there is no camp host. The City also runs another park, listed on Campendium, but since we didn't stay there I can't review it. Just know there are two options maintained by the City of Beatrice here.

I gave this site four stars for access because you have to drive on a dirt road for a short stretch, but it was not challenging. Cleanliness is not five stars because the rest rooms are for a park for general usage, and not a dedicated campground. There are no showers in the rest rooms.

Nice spot. Very clean and well groomed. A bit pricey compared to my normal state part. But the did have sewer hook up at the site.

Full hookup Quite and peaceful Lovely Park My hitch was out of adjustment and a fellow camper called his son-in-law to fix it for me on the spot Wow!

Riverside City Park is very well maintained. It has large grass areas and big, beautiful trees. We have two young kids who loved the open space, paved paths for biking, and two great playgrounds. There is also a beautiful tree that is great for climbing. A local told us that it is called a hedge tree and the interesting fruits on it are hedge apples (not to eat). They have showers and bathrooms, but we didn’t check them out. Paved sites. There was only one open when we arrived on Sunday afternoon. We had no problem parking our 42 ft RV. Another RVer mentioned if there is an open spot, it fills up quickly. Guess we got lucky! A wonderful park for just $18 for full hook ups (50 amp, water, electric)! It is only about 5 minutes to Homestead National Monument, which is why we stopped through here. About 40ish minutes to Lincoln.

Arrived on Sunday afternoon to find the campground completely full. Talked to a gentleman staying there and he told us that it was full due to workers staying full-time and there is very seldom any availability. Although the campground has signs stating a 14 day limit, it isn’t enforced. A very nice and clean park if people weren’t living there

Very pretty clean rv park within a city park. 20 bucks for full hookup? Crazy wonderful find. We stayed here as a drop in on july 4th weekend-- 3 sites open. First come first served. Would stay here again for a longer time next time.

Playgrounds for the kids. Paved entry and park. Close to Homestead. Had a great time.

Lovely park, fcfs, but it's not full while we're here. Full hook ups, nice level concrete pads. Lovely park.

This is a great campground. Quiet, and only 3 rigs here. Large level concrete site. A must stay! We traveled from Sidney Nebraska. Hwy 33 route was good. 35ft 5th wheel.
