Cabela’s

After filling up with KC BBQ we went over to try out a stay and visit Cabelas. What a win win this was! We needed to have excellent cell coverage for an evening video call and we had it and more.

Staff is very accommodating on getting their information and finding a level spot was a breeze for us.

For light sleepers keep in mind you are in a city close to major roads and air traffic. I keep earplugs and headphones close by just in case. Safety and accessibility was our priority for this stop and it met it 100%

Called to confirm overnight parking still allowed. Went in store to fill out paperwork (name, phone number, Emergency contact, RV type, plate number etc). Told to park in any of front lots (furthest from the store). Lots of space to park, but not very level. Lot is very sloped, had difficulty leveling 37 foot class A. Would stay here again if in a pinch.

I called to ask if we can overnight, she said no problem just come in and fill out overnight form. Then she said she we can park anywhere as long as it’s in their parking lot and not by the “trucks” bc it’s no longer theirs. It was nice, quiet, clean and perfect! We went inside and the kids loved the animal displays and we were pleasantly surprised Santa was there and no line! Very nice people :)

The lot designated for Trucks and RV's has had its entrance blocked, and there is a sign that says 'No Overnight Parking'. When we arrived there were several trucks in the parking lot near the 'previously' designated Truck Parking area, and a couple RV's were in an adjacent parking area. Since this area has several large venues, a race track, a sports stadium, shopping/outlets, it's possible they only enforce the 'no overnight parking' when there are events in progress. We risked it, and parked near the other RV's. The lot was well lit, has a slight slope, but not too bad. We had no issues, and got a decent night's sleep. In the area you have restaurants, Target, Walmart, Sam's, Nebraska Furniture Mart, etc.

We stayed 7 nights while passing through town. Can’t be free. We were never bothered. Truckers are in and out but the noise doesn’t bother us.
A couple of people that appeared to be living out of their cars showed up for the last two nights, seemed sketchy but we didn’t have any issues.

The grass areas around have a lot of foxtail grass. Beware for your four legged friends.

Register at the service counter. Poof you’re done. Just passing through town on my way home. Stopped in KC to see a friend. Got into town about 6pm. Registered for overnight parking. Did some shopping. Great store BTW. Went to dinner with my friend. Came back around 10pm. Setup my truck camper and stayed the night. There’s a huge parking lot and you’ll see semis parked in an area off to the left as you drive in. Everyone was very friendly. I saw a police cruiser parked nearby when I got up around 7:30. Note this was early February 2019.
