Once upon a time, the land that's now Platte River State Park in southeast Nebraska was home to the Harriet Harding Campfire Girls Camp and Camp Esther K. Newman. Fast forward to today and you'll find a 519-acre camp brimming with spectacular activities and features such as the interactive spray park, Crawdad Creek, observation towers boasting panoramic views of the Platte River Basin, and miles of breathtaking hiking trails along the rolling terrain. Walk packed dirt roads along countryside dips filled with trickling streams and unique geological formations.

Nearby cities include rural Weeping Water, a little over 12 miles away from Platte River State Park, and the scenic town of Plattsmouth, just over 19 miles away. Have fun exploring the area with exciting new spots to discover, such as Louisville State Recreation Area and the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland. If it's a nature-inspired vacation that you crave, rent an RV in Cass County for a trip that the whole family can enjoy!

Discover Platte River State Park


Getting Outdoors

Fun for the whole family is found at the spray park in Platte River State Park. Open during the summer, the spray park is a super fun hot spot with cool features such as water slides, dump buckets, numerous spray features, and a waterfall. Prepare to get soaked while visiting! Share in the excitement with your little kids on the upper level of the park, or watch the older kids have a blast on the lower level. Specifically crafted for a variety of ages, the spray park is one treat you won’t want to miss on your Platte River State Park camping adventure.

Near the spray park, you’ll find Crawdad Creek. This interactive aquatic activity encourages campers to hop right into the water to discover a fascinating ecosystem home to aquatic invertebrates, insects, reptiles, minnows, crawdads, and frogs. Have fun identifying the different species within the creek, or roll up your sleeves to see if you and your child can get your hands on a jumping bullfrog! Ankle-deep in the blue waters and surrounded by bright green banks of grass, you'll enjoy hours upon hours of relaxation and entertainment.

View nature in a unique setting at one of the two observation towers located across from each other at the park. Showcasing the Platte River Basin in full beauty, the towers provide ample opportunities to snap some memorable photos for the family scrapbook. Below the towers, take the time to trail run, hike, or bike the Platte River State Park trails. With a little over five miles along a looped path, this dog-friendly trail will have you frequently stopping to soak in the beautiful scenery around you.

Camping at Platte River State Park

Due to the rugged terrain of the park, RV camping is not available at Platte River State Park. However, just four miles away from the park, Louisville State Recreation Area offers over 120 luxurious RV pads for all your camping needs. Surrounded by five sandpit lakes and lush cottonwood trees, the area provides easy access to activities such as swimming and picnicking within the campground.

Choose a site based on what you need — sites cap out at 75 feet of back-in space, and 20, 30, and 50-amp electric hookups are available. Extra amenities Louisville campers can benefit from include picnic tables, fire rings, fresh water, hot showers, access to a floating playground on water, and a trailer dump station. Pets are welcome at this year-round campground, and you’ll love the convenience of having Platte River State Park less than a ten-minute drive away.

Exploring the Area

While camping with an RV in Louisville, have fun splishing and splashing at the area’s very own floating playground on the water. Featuring giant colorful floating obstacles, monkey bars, a climbing wall, and a dome all above water, the playground holds 90-minute sessions for all who want to try their hand at this hilariously fun game. You’ll have fun both as a viewer and as a contestant here, as the playground provides an entertaining spectacle to all involved.

After goofing off at the playground, fill up on some pizza, fast food, fresh-baked goods, or diner fare in town to satisfy any hunger cravings. Stop for some gas and groceries at your choice of local businesses, then sling your golf bag over your shoulder for a trip to the golf course in Eagle set on a tree farm. The rich woodland scenery provides a welcoming environment to golfers of all calibers.

Although it's a little more of a drive, Ashland provides some of the best places in the area to visit. Drop by the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum to check out some of the permanent exhibits or learn from some of the temporary displays. Take a look at fascinating historical photo galleries or various collections dedicated to exemplary figures from America’s past. Come during one of the many events that the museum holds, or tour with a group while camping in the area. After exploring the vast countryside and all its simple pleasures, head back to your RV rental near Platte River State Park to rest up before your next adventure-filled day begins.
