    What a great place to have a group retreat. Rivercrest Retreat Center is located outside of…read moreFremont and the camp sits along the Platte River. Cabins can bunk 8-10 personnel in each and there are adjacent bathrooms/showers. Great looking lodge for meetings and plenty of activities to choose from. There is also a "River Lodge" that can hold up to 50 people. Our group of 22 really enjoyed Paintball and the Super Swing and there are various games and other activities to engage in as well as athletic courts to compete/play on. Great trails to hike and if you are fortunate, you can see the Bald Eagles along the river trail. Very good facilities. Groups can either bring their own food or you can pay extra and the camp will feed the group in their dining hall which is pretty nice as well. Got to meet the Camp Director; Jon Classen, who was very engaging and helpful. Enjoyed chatting with him about the camp and its' history. If you want to check out the camp for your group; here is the link to their website: http://www.camprivercrest.org/

My group loved the variety of activities that Rivercrest had- climbing on the rock wall, going on the zip line, and swimming and playing in the Platte River. My group loved it and I will definitely recomment Rivercrest to anyone!

Level site, its gravel and we prefer concrete but that's a small thing. Seems very well run, we only stayed the night so we didn't use any facilities, so I cant comment on that.

    The good part of this park is that it's absolutely beautiful. The greenest park that we've ever…read morestayed in. That being said, the day we were to arrive we got a phone call from "Cindy" who told us her allergies were bothering her and she will not be in the office when we arrive. Cindy instructed us to get a map out of the box next to the office door and look at a yellow paper that would give us our spot number and instructions. We got our map and finally found the yellow paper which was a Post-it note on the inside of the glass of the office door (it was very hard to read through the glass of the door). We saw that we were in what we thought was site number 72 (in hindsight, Cindy had written 2 guests on one paper and we were to be in site 70 and they were to be in site 72). Thinking we should be in site 72, we pulled into site 72 and got set up. A few minutes after we arrived, we got a phone call from Cindy and a knock on the door from a gentleman driving a golf cart. They both proceeded to tell us that we were in the wrong site. Cindy told me on the phone that we were in the wrong spot and that she "had" to move the people that belong there because they were very long. She made it sound like we had made the worst mistake in the world and that she had to go to a lot of trouble to fix our mistake. Cindy proceeded to tell me that the site we were in was $15 more because it was longer than the one next to us that we were supposed to be in (my husband measured it and the site we were in was 12 inches longer than the site we should've been in). When we realized we had made the mistake, we were already feeling bad enough, but for them to make us feel like we had made the worst mistake in the whole world, that was a horrible feeling ... the way they came off to us was really bad. If we had been told nicely that we had made a mistake and given the opportunity to move to where we should've been or pay the $15 to stay where we were that would've been a lot better. As it was, they just got the other guy another site and charged me $15 extra. I'm a pretty reasonable person, but this was a horrible experience. I have been in customer service for over 25 years and I would never think of talking to the customer like she talked to me.

    We were traveling from Nevada to Pennsylvania and back between 6.22-6.29. During our trip, we…read morestayed at a Love's RV place and as we moved along the country, we needed another night stop. Came across York KAMPground that we arrived at around 3a. Was able to make an online reservation even though it was after office hours. They have a phone number on the board when you first drive in, I called and left a message letting them know we came through and paid online. I chose 12p because it was the earliest time for the day so it sounded like our reservation unfortunately didn't show up on their end first thing in the morning (which was understandable). One of the ladies (sorry I'm bad with names!) came over as we were getting everything together to keep driving and checked in with us. Let her know that we paid online. She was nice and found our reservation/payment & also gave us a AAA discount for having AAA. Coming back, we ended up pulling through around 5a and did the same thing. Had no issues (I made the reservation starting the day before because it was before midnight when we decided that was going to be our stop). We stayed at a total of 3 RV hookup places during this trip- 2 being Love's and the 3rd being York. Although it was the shortest amount of sleep (check out is 12p) it was the best sleep I got both times. The park was quiet and peacefully "dark". Not a bunch of parking lot lights. You do have the freeway close by but we had a plug in fan we use for air circulation so it helped with sound even though it wasn't anything obnoxious. There were plenty of hook up and non hook up spots allowing us to choose one not right up against another visitor out of respect for their space since it was available. They have showers you can use that's included in your reservation. I believe they had WiFi too but we were too wiped to utilize it lol. Clean park. Price was reasonable. We drove extra time just to stay there the second time as other places closer at that moment, were higher or not as after hours friendly. Would recommend if you're in the area!

    This is a campground for the night. They have lots of spaces, prices are cheap-even more, if you're…read morea Passport America member!! They had a graduation the day we came in but they had a nice & clear message on what to do. The park is right off of I-80 and close to restaurants and gas stations. The road going to the park is gravel and a bit rough but doable. The office is right at the entrance and the night drop has clear instructions. Where we pulled in, our site wasn't level. That could be easily fixed to make us happy campers. I would definitely recommend going here for the night. It's fast, no hassle and, surprisingly, quiet-even off the interstate. It's not perfect but the value is good, people are nice and fast in and out. Note: we called a park closer on our route but they tried to convince us to get a larger site. So, we came here instead. Happy we did.

    Wanting to get our dogs away from the fireworks over the 4th of July weekend, we booked a 2-bedroom…read morecabin a year in advance (holiday weekends sell out really quickly!!). We ended up in Wood Duck in the area of cabins not too far from the entrance and park headquarters office. Some fireworks could still be heard in the distance from Ponca but nothing on the scale of what it was like back home. The best place would have been the cabins further away in the Scout Hill Loop but those were already taken at the time I booked. Still, we were very happy with our cabin. The two bedrooms were on either end of the cabin with the kitchen, living room, dining area, and bathroom in the middle. Either end had a door and a small deck. I would advise to bring your own camp chairs to sit outside. Pots, pans, coffee maker, dish soap, shampoo, bar soap, silverware and utensils were provided but I'm glad we brought our own scrubbie, paper towels, conditioner, and plastic cups. The AC in the cabin worked great for anyone wondering. Our girls are old so we didn't do much hiking but rather stayed on the paved areas and drove thru the park several times making stops at scenic places along the way. I spent some time visiting the beautiful Resource and Education Center and attended a "Critter Corner" event designed mostly for kids but I enjoyed it, too. The knowledgeable young park staff showed various animal pelts, skulls, antlers, horns, and a few resident turtles and snakes. The Center also had some books, puzzles, souvenirs, snacks, t-shirts, and other items for sale. There's a convenience store, small grocery and couple restaurants in nearby Ponca in case you forgot anything or wanted to get a pizza. I also visited the Aquatic Center one hot afternoon. It was a real nice heated zero entry pool with a diving board and 100 foot water slide. We really enjoyed our stay and already plan to return for a long weekend in the fall.
