Hitchcock Nature Center RV Campground in the United States

I spent a couple of nights at this campground last summer with my Aliner, thanks to my membership which allowed me to stay for free. The campsite is quite pleasant. A few miles down the road in Crescent, you can find some decent spots to grab a bite, including Henry's diner which never disappoints. My only concern with this campsite is the high number of temporary workers who stay here, with very few leisure campers. This does create a unique atmosphere. However, it maintains its tranquility. It operates on a first-come-first-serve basis, so make sure to reserve your spot in advance.

Pay attention to the signs at the entrance. Go to the campground not the nature center. Tight but manageable back-in spots. We have a 30ft 5th wheel. Clean. Nice trails and the nature center overlook tower affords great view of the area. Recommend and would come again. 1st come first serve. No reservations and only 18 sites.

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

Beautiful county park with pull through sites just steps from the trail head. Perfect place to relax after a cross-country drive.

Beautiful but Difficult... nice little County Park but I would not bring a big rig in again. First come first served and we got the only spot available that I could back the rig in to. Great locaton to explore Omaha and Council Bluffs.
