This was our first time to a NE beach. The water wasn't too bad and the beach was sandy. It is a small lake so a good place to come with little kids. We came during MDW and it wasn't too busy. I am used to the ocean and clear blue beaches so I personally wouldnt get in the water by my kids had a blast. Would be a great place to go camping and fishing! read more

Two Rivers SRA - Parks Near Me - Waterloo, Nebraska

I have visited Two Rivers in Summer and Spring, but my most recent visit was in early winter - and the winter season, while different from the fun of summer days - is still a cool time to visit and see the changes the season has made on the park. The water at Two Rivers stays strikingly blue no matter which season you visit, so I think it's definitely one of the cleaner parks in the regions, when it comes to water quality. There also was no litter that I saw, so whoever is maintaining the park is doing a great job. Two Rivers has great walking trails around the lake, so it's a wonderful place to go get some exercise in a cool surrounding. It's also never been busy when I visited, so if you like a more tranquil walk, it could be a good option for you. They also offer camping, fishing, swimming, and other outdoor activities (probably more for in the summer season), as well as horse trails if you happen to have a horse! For boating, they only allow non powered boats, so keep that in mind if you're wanting to fish off your boat. While this isn't a huge park compared to a few others in the Omaha/Iowa area, it does offer a lot of activities and cool scenery for being a smaller park! Definitely worth a visit, even if it's a short one. read more

The workers here are always extremely rude. Literally drove through the grass right next to a children's park to come and check if we had a part pass when we did and we come here literally like every weekend. read more

Easy to reserve and easy to find. A good intro to camping out. Good river access from riverside. Potable water has a bit of a smell so bring your own if you can. Easy trash and bathroom access. read more

I've been camping here a time or two, and spent a lot of time with friends on the water here. It's close enough to the metro to get away, but far enough that you don't feel like you're in Omaha. It's affordable to tent camp. And it's well maintained and clean. Lots of places for the kids to play too! read more

Just a quick word about restrooms. Only two of the loops appear to have shower houses - Cottonwood (newer of the two) and Lakeside / Fawn Meadows area. It appears that only Fawn Meadows has water hookups, most of the other loops are electric only. There are many nice sites along the rivers, I think Lakeside is the nicest, goldenrod the closest to swimming, and Cottonwood is probably best for river access. During the weekends, there is a lot of airboat traffic on the river. It is a little noisy, but not bad. We really had fun here. read more

Fishing at the Trout Lake in two Rivers State Park is not look like they take care of this Larry well 10 foot way around on the bank it's nothing Moss for the money it's not worth it. Think our state could do better at taking care of their lakes read more

Beautiful campground. We spent 4th of July here and the area where we had our picnic was close to the restroom, had plenty of parking, and there was a nice playground for small kids. We bypassed the designated swimming area (I think lake 4) and swam at a site further down at our own risk. If you have kids just use caution because the current is strong and the depth of the river is somewhat unpredictable. I'm a decent swimmer and it was a task swimming back perpendicular to the shore. My only complaint is that there were partygoers who took their tubes out to a sandbar in the middle of the river and literally left about 2 dozen empty beer cans and plastic bottles in their wake. Camp rangers witnessed it and did nothing to address it. It's a shame that seemingly well educated film would do something so ignorant, especially in such a beautiful place. read more

Two Rivers SRA - Jumping off the deep end. - Parks Near Me - Waterloo, Nebraska

Lovely park with good shade. Level areas for a leisurely walks, nice sized RV sites, nice little concession shop.

Sites are nice and clean. Prices are very reasonable and the little store has decent fishing gear and munchies- soft serve ice cream was a hit. Good Ranger presence which deters the creepers - so good for families. You can fish or explore and there are open spaces for frisbee, volleyball, etc...good place to burn weekend with the family without tv (ok, they have electric so we had our Apple TV). read more

Nice local campground. This a fairly large campground located about a 30 minute drive from Omaha. Camped here for a night with friends and enjoyed it. We had a riverside campsite facing west, so you can usually count on some nice sunsets. During the day you will see (and hear!) airboats going up and down the river, but it is nice and quiet at night. The sites are large with a lot of mature trees, and the bathrooms a little dated and dingy, but hey you are camping! You can fish in the river or the ponds/lakes that they have onsite. At the entrance is a small store with ice, firewood, snacks, bait, etc. If you don't want to rough it, they also have a number of old Union Pacific caboose that have been turned into cabins. Overall a nice little spot nearby to Omaha, so I will be back! read more

I love going to this camp ground. There's plenty to do and is a great place for pretty much any level of experience camper. I think someone who hasn't camped much would feel pretty comfortable here. Warning: latrines in general are gross. Unfortunately when we went that was all that was open. It did look like the camp grounds added some nicer bathrooms right next to the old latrines but when we went those were closed. The rangers are kind and unobtrusive. A friend and I took took our nephews and my niece during the week early in the day and we basically had the run of the place it was lovely. I wish the people that go there would be a little cleaner. People leave trash, alcohol bottles, and cigarette butts all over the park and it's sad to see honestly. The only reason I knocked down a star was because the nicer bathrooms were locked and the trash all over. Otherwise we had a blast! read more

Horrible facilities. More accurately, no facilities. One pit toilet for 50 campsites, no potable water, quiet hours are not enforced. The worst public campground in the United States. Nebraskans should be embarrassed. Suggestion: appoint somebody who cares about parks to run this disaster. The current management clearly could care less. read more

So we get to our campsite and get everything set up to have a good time for a few hours. Then a 30%chance of rain turns into penny size hail so we park our vehicles under the closest trees to soften hail damage. Three fucking times the ranger dicks/dnr come by and tell us to park on the pavement were there is no shelter from the fuckin monsoon/hurricane. Our tents and surroundings neighbor tents have collapse or have been abandoned. They gave more shits about the fucking grass than our safety or more importantly the customer who pays for the campsite and a park pass. Ultimately we left that night not cause of the downpour of the rain storm because we are troopers that were going to tough it out, but because of the assholes running the grounds that gave more importance of the fucking grass than the well being of the customers. I mean it was fucking pouring and all we could resort to was staying in our car under so sort of shelter. I've camped at a lot of places in Nebraska/Iowa and this is by far the worse I've experienced... read more

Two Rivers used to be a family tradition, however after staying there this last week has made me reconsider. There's no park ranges out reinforcing the no dogs with out leashes rule , or no fishing in the swimming areas rule .there's one Sighn right when you enter the park that tells people there not allowed to let there dogs run loose / not on lashes. They should have a Sighn right on the beach & when I had to call them to come inforcment​ the all dogs have to be on leashes rule they never came. Said they would but didn't show up. Next day I went to the office the girl told me they were short staffed . And that was why no one came. There were people drinking beer and leaving there bottle's on the beach No toilet paper in the filthy out houses. Trash cans so full of trash people were sitting bags of trash outside the cans. The cabooses we stayed in for $82.00 a night was so full of mold , first thing I had to do when we arrived was clean for two hrs. With a multi purpose bathroom cleaner but even that didn't stop my allergies from becoming a full in sinuses infection & upper respiratory infection. I was very disappointed my family had camped her for years . We won't be going back. read more

Horrible park. Came here for hiking apparently there are trails had a map and went through all the places the map said there were trails. Searched for an hour, found nothing. Don't waste your time!! read more

I've been to this campground three times now. Contrary to what my star rating might indicate, all three times were awesome. My reasons for a less than stellar review stem from a few things. For one, grills are attached to all fire pits, so you can't take them off. They get in the way of your fire, and they're useless for their designed purpose because they're bent to heck. I really wish they would either remove them (preferable) or put new ones on that could actually be used. The rangers come around every night about 11PM, which is fine, but I wish they'd come around a few more times during the night. The sites are on top of each other (another big con in my book) and if you have campers next to you that stay up all night, it can be a real nuisance. In the summer you have to buy two nights worth, oh, and don't forget to buy your parking pass too. Firewood is $5 for about an hours worth of wood (if that). So, while I always manage to have a great time camping here, there are a few little things that I feel need be taken care of considering the money it costs to camp at a state park. Fix the grills and lower the price of wood. read more

We spent the weekend here with family to celebrate my child's birthday. Overall, we had a good time. There are multiple fishing areas, a swimming beach, and modest playground. We stayed in a caboose (#7). My biggest complaint would be the cleanliness of the caboose. Our site had water damage in the bathroom with linoleum that was way overdue for repair. It smelled like mildew and the toilet had pee in it upon our arrival. We also saw a cockroach in the kitchen area. I know this isn't a hotel, but addressing these details would go a long way, especially when there are small children present. read more
