Getting Outdoors
At the heart of the park, the 218-acre lake provides a picturesque backdrop for water sports. The sandy beach is great for swimming and sunbathing, while a pair of boat ramps make it easy to launch canoes and kayaks. The lake also allows motorboats at "no wake" speeds. Anglers will jump at the chance to reel in bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and crappie from the clear waters of Prairie Rose Lake. Cast a line from one of the six fishing jetties or head out to deeper water.

The Prairie Rose State Park campground enjoys a picturesque setting by the lake. Sites are spread across two campgrounds and offer plenty of shade, space, and privacy from your neighbors.

Like most state park RV campgrounds in North America, Prairie Rose comes complete with restroom and shower facilities as well as a dump station. Kid-friendly amenities like a basketball court, horseshoe pits, and playground make the east campground a favorite with families.

Chad is an awesome host! He was very thorough during setup which helped us as we had never stayed in an RV. He answered all of our questions and gave us information we didn't know we needed! The RV beds are clean and comfortable, the RV is modern and well-maintained. We would absolutely rent from Chad again.

We had the most memorable time camping in this RV! It rained so the games were a major plus! Everything was so nice and well thought out. The owner was so nice and helpful with any questions. Definitely will be renting from him again!

Can’t say enough good things! This was a very last minute emergency rental and Fireside was amazing! Very responsive, helpful and easy to work with! We needed to transport a family member across 3 states from the hospital to another facility near us and this was a great option. Room to rest while we traveled, everything worked great on our 1100 mile journey! The unit was still winterized because it is March in Nebraska so we made due without the bathroom and sink but again thank you Fireside!! Would absolutely rent from them again!
