Utica Campground

Fee - requested $10 donation

Directions - just 5 miles north of I-80, right along the road

3 spots - each had water and electricity, dump site was in a different location, but I think still close by

This was perfect, pulled up about 10:30 pm, slept, and off by 7 am. Utica is a small town, even with the sites right next to the road, we heard nothing. We’d definitely stay there again as we travel through Nebraska.

I generally look for small midwestern towns/counties which offer rv overnight sites - a good way to get off the interstates and see small town America!

The asking donation is $10/night; I left $15. Sites are mostly shaded and close, but adequate room for large rigs (back in). I use 30 amps so didn't check for 50 amps. Each site has a water spigot. The clean bathroom is 50 yards away - cold water - no shower. I deducted 1 star cuz the site is next to main route going into town. Even so, traffic was light on a week night and hence not a problem. Recommend.

Around midnight we decided to call it a night on a long drive and find a place to park our 25’ RV. After a few moments of trying to book a spot elsewhere and realizing that we couldn’t book anything online since it was technically Friday morning (just after midnight), we decided to take a chance on Utica. It was perfect. There were 3 spots with electric hookups that we found right away. All spots were available! Like Goldilocks, we tried all 3 to see which one was most level before choosing the one closest to the neighboring home. The morning showed us the fun playground and a lovely peaceful place to walk our dog. There was some road noise from trucks using the alternate 80 route, but we had the AC running so any noise was muted! We will definitely remember this spot!

We arrived after dark on a rainy day. The parking area was level with white granite rock. The flush toilet bathrooms were clean. No showers. Our only complaint was the noise from frequent trains a few blocks away.

We stayed two nights, it’s beside a recreational area with pool, horseshoes etc.. 6 sites, up to 50 Amp service, 3 shared water spigots. We had a 31 foot motorhome, lots of room left over. The sites are not totally level, but close enough.
We had some hydraulic problems with the motorhome prior to stopping there, highly recommend Utica Automotive which was only one mile away. Friendly, fast and reasonable prices.

The 6 sites all are 30 amp. Nice clean wide back ins. I called the town clerk, not necessary as there is a registration/deposit box next to the site 3/4 power/water site. Really appreciate these small communities that provide these nice inexpensive rest stops. $10 for water and 30 amps is well worth the 5 mile drive from I-80.

Perfect spot for a overnight along 80. The 50 amp services and water are shared between 2 sites. I fit my 35’ class A and parked my jeep in front.

Do you like train horns? You’re in luck if you said yes.
