Hitchcock Nature Center RV Campground

We stayed here for one night on our way back home to Texas from Alaska. This park is a hidden gem. There are so many hiking trails that it would take 3-4 days to get them all in. Several easy, moderate and difficult hikes. Lush and green and not too many mosquitoes considering the time of year. We stayed on the top of the hill near the entrance in site 8. It was perfectly level. This was a first for us on this trip. The WiFi is free, it is not password protected. We were able to stream a baseball game without any buffering. Very unusual for campground WiFi. We had 30 Amp electric and water at the site. The dump is close. We will defiantly return when we come back this way.

This is a beautiful park with lots of hiking trails and lots of hills. $25/night, worth it. Busy on the weekends but not during the week. Friendly Park Officers who are always willing to help. Electric at all sites, water at most sites. Close enough to Council Bluffs and Omaha for anything you need. 1 bar Verizon in the lower sites but Starlink was getting 100+ mbs with a clear view of the sky. We did hear a train close by but the cows on the other side of the fence were louder. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the area.

Stayed here last august in my Aliner, I have a membership, so I had two nights free. It's just a nice place to camp. There are a couple of good places to eat in Crescent, just down the road a couple of miles. Henry's diner is always tasty.

The only issue I have with this place is that it's always full of transient workers, very few people camping recreational only. Kind of gives it a different vibe. It's still a quiet place, though. First-come, first serve, so you need to call ahead.

When we arrived there were only three or four sites available. We first attempted a site in the first section, just not much room for maneuvering. We went to the second second and found a spot. It was very quiet, but it did rain most of the night. The bath house is adequate and the vault toilet across from our site was clean, nothing fancy. Word of caution. If you are coming from the south you will be directed through 15 miles of gravel roads. When we left we exited to I-29, north of Council Bluffs and had no gravel roads and only had to travel about five miles. The gravel road was around 15 miles from the freeway. If I stay there again I will enter from north of Council Bluff to avoid the bumpy roads. It was a very quiet evening. I can see where some found it to be noisy. The sites are very close. Great overnight-travel stay. By the way, first-come-first-served. No reservations

Nice little campground for a quick overnight stop. Only a handful of sites to choose from but all had electricity and shared water. Didn’t use bathrooms but they looked clean. No ranger on site the day we arrived but left cash in the dropbox. Easy back-in site with our 33’ travel trailer. Nearby there’s a great observation tower and Nature Center for kids. Quick 20 min drive to Omaha. Nice spot!

Gravel sites with electric and water available, dump station on site. Lots of trails for walking. Had modern restrooms with showers. Lots of trees and shade in the lower level campground and also has cabins and a separate tent area.
Park rangers are awesome, there are cows and goats up in the hills that the kids loved talking to. We would come back for sure, it was a nice stay.
Not great cell service if any. But the nature makes up for it.
